Time Immortal

You know, I wonder what Rehmat would have to say about this, when he’s not busily fantasizing about Ahmadinejad?

As mentioned earlier, the “Muslima.com” banner ads that I’m seeing spin up on the site here give me the jibblies…and this is a part of why. Dating sites are bad enough, “find-a-bride” sites immeasurably worse…and when one adds Islam to the mix, things just get ugly.

As in…”nine-year old girls being forced into marriages (often to much older men)” ugly.

And this isn’t just one or two isolated cases that is being talked about here.

Thousands of Britons — mainly young women from the Asian [read: Islamic -- Ken] communities — are thought to be victims of forced marriage each year, but concerns are increasingly focused on the plight of underage girls who are being offered for marriage to foreign men when they have barely left primary school.

No accurate figures exist for the scale of the problem, although the Government’s Forced Marriage Unit has helped rescue around 60 children aged 15 or under in the past four years — including 11 so far in 2008 — and experts fear that may represent only the tip of the iceberg.

Typically victims are taken overseas by their families on a false pretext and forced to marry. Extreme cases where women rebel against their family’s plans and try to run away have led to so-called ‘honour killings’ or suicides.

…

A report by Parliament’s Home Affairs Select Committee earlier this year said more than 2,000 pupils were unaccounted for in just 14 local council areas across England and Wales.

And lest the Reader think that this Islam is not very, very deeply tied up in this disgusting scenario, may I present the most disgusting sentence I’ve read in at least the last 30 days:

Plans to make forced marriage a specific crime were dropped by ministers in 2006 following a Muslim community backlash…

Britain’s government needs to grow its balls back, methinks. And when it does just that, it needs to take down the names of everyone who objects to legislation against child marriage and forced marriage, and offer them a choice: get in line, ’cause this crap is illegal in the United Kingdom, or move the heck back to Whereveristan, where it’s still legal to abuse your daughters in such a manner.
