    No. Islam is not one single thing. The majority of those (some of whom don’t want Sex Ed in school) don’t like pedophilia either (I am not saying it is a good thing to not want Sex Ed, I think that’s stupid) __ And before anyone says anything, yes I understand this is part of Islamic history but it doesn’t mean the whole collective of Muslims are “okay” with it, or that these people are those, that would be insane.

    Edit: made my pov clearer

      No, it’s not part of Islamic history, it is part of Islamic theology.

      Most Muslims are Sunni, and within Sunni Islam there are 4 schools of jurisprudence. All four of these schools have deemed it acceptable to marry a girl off as soon as she is born, and hand her over to her rapist when she turns 9 years old or bleeds.

      While most Muslims are anti pedophilia, the Islamic sources and clerics are not. It is a huge problem where I’m from.

        Okay but the answer to the main question in that comment is no, these are not the same people and it’s not easy to tell unless they explicitly say so

      Nowhere did I say “All muslims are OK with marrying girls at 10 years of age”. In Western culture, not everybody wants to have a heterosexual relationship, a Christian wedding, get a kid(s), a house, a pet, and send the man off to work while the wife stays at home. It is the dominant culture however. Pointing out that it is a thing, isn’t judgement on every single person in every single Western country worldwide.

      I was pointing out hypocrisy. No need to get your panties in a bunch because in this case it involved somebody who you consider not to be in power. They are human, they can be hypocrites too. Doesn’t matter if they’re a minority in their country.
