Did you know Pedophilia is Legal in Iran According to Sharia
In June, 2002 Iranian authorities approved a law raising the age at which girls can marry without parental consent from 9 to 13. The elected legislature actually passed the bill in 2000, but the "Guardian Council", a 12-man body of conservative clerics, vetoed it as contradicting Islamic Sharia law. Iran's clerical establishment insists that the marriage of young girls is a means to combat immorality. The Expediency Council, which arbitrates between the elected parliament and the theocratic Guardian Council, timidly passed the measure. The law however does not change the age at which children can get married (nine for girls and 14 for boys), but says that girls below the age of 13 and boys younger than 15 need their parents' permission and the approval of a "Righteous Court." Reformists state that the new law does not protect children, since most of those who marry at such a young age do so by force.
It is quite common in Iran for older men to marry children, as long as they pay the appropriate bride-price to the girl's family. This basically means that a father can sell his daughter to whomever he wants, whilst the mad mullahs see this as a means of maintaining purity. We prefer to call this child prostitution and rape, especially given that Iran's clerics approve of the 'tradition' of 'temporary marriage' (Mut'a), which can last less than 24 hours and may be repeated as many times as desired. This form of exploitation is widespread and legitimises sex with young children. The man may even visit his temporary wife every weekend at her
father’s house, for about $10 per visit. It also interesting to know that Iran just raised the voting age from 15 to 18.
Is it any wonder then that Husband-killing has been on the rise in Iran.

We couldn't find any exact numbers for Shi'ite muslins vs suuni muslins. Sorry, I do know that there are a lot more iranians in Venezuelan than there used to be. There is an arab business community in almost every city, although most seem to be from the orthodox church. Just so you know, I am jungle moms husband and I enjoyed your blog immensely
Yekwana man and Jungle mom: Thank you both for stopping by and thank you for the effort in trying to find the number of muslisms in Venezeula.
This Iranian surge in Venezuela is probably due to the close relationship
between Chavez and Ahmadinejad. Those Iranians who have recently arrived to
Venezuela are probably working for the intelligence service and are closely
tied to the government and are up to no good.
Yak! :-(
What an awful picture!!
Dear Fieda: Yes, it's quite disturbing. Khomeini married a 14 year olf at the age of 75...This is Sharia jurisprudence and true believers (muslim fanatics) don't see anything wrong with this. I look forward to your future visits.
Yes, that photo is disgusting, but perfect for the effect.
Combating morality by marrying a 9,10,11,12 or 13 year old? Very sick. Islam as practiced today is nothing but a 7th century idealogy.
Exactly Joe: The Koran is viewed by the
muslims as a miracle by Mohammad in and of itself. Therefore, there is no room left for interpretation or re-interpation...so the stagnation and hijacking of muslims' mind continue in perpetuity.
Serendip:
This is among the scariest, and most disgusting, things that I have ever read...
