Child Bride, 12, Dies in Islamic Childbirth

If you think Muslims and Christians share similar values and that Islam should be welcomed into the United States and Europe, you might want to catch the latest headlines from Yemen.
A 12-year-old Yemeni girl, who was forced into marriage by her parents, died during a painful childbirth that also killed her baby, a children's rights group said Monday.
Fawziya Ammodi struggled for three days in labor, before dying of severe bleeding at a hospital on Friday, according to Ahmed al-Qureshi, President of the Seyaj Organization for the Protection of Children.
"Although the cause of her death was lack of medical care, the real case was the lack of education in Yemen and the fact that child marriages keep happening," Mr. al-Qureshi reports.
Fawiya, who came from an impoverished family in Hodeidah, was forced to drop out of school at the age of eleven and to marry a 24-year-old Muslim man last year.
A recent study by Sanaa University shows that more than half of all young Yemeni girls are married off before the age of 18 -- often to older men, some with several wives.
The issue of Yemeni child brides came to the forefront in 2008 with the report of 10-year-old Nujood Ali.
Nujood was pulled out of school and married to a man who beat and raped her for weeks after the wedding ceremony.
Yes, the significant thing is that Islamic evil is not just the result of people misunderstanding or ignoring their religion; it directly springs from the foundations of that religion, the founder’s words and actions, and as a result, the more observant the Muslim, the more evil he will be.
I was told by a muslim woman that it was cultural and it had nothing to do with being a muslim.
Don’t know if that’s true or not.
the number of Muslims is NOT 2 billion. It just went past 1.2 billion.
You are correct, I inverted the Christian and Muslim numbers by mistake.
“Is that before or after they mutilate their genitals?”

They believe in gender equality, they mutilate both male and female genitals.
I get the feeling as well as for profit, M was a real nut job who was further corrupted by power and his delusional huge ego. It is also certain that he was driven by demonic powers. People like him come to believe the lies they dispense.
