    Pakistan already is one of the world's 8 officially Islamic states and one of the nastiest at every level.

      Maybe it's worth pointing out that 100 years ago, we'd be having a very similar discussion about Jewish immigrants, which included more than their fair share of terrorist nutters (e.g. East European emigres). For example, I think the gang in the Seige of Sidney Street in 1911 were Jewish.

      But you don't hear anything about Jewish terrorists these days. So my point is that all this Islamic terrorism will probably blow over in twenty or thirty years once more young hot heads grow older and wiser. (The average age in many Muslim countries is about 18, or not much older.)

        Aisha stayed in her parents' home for several years until she joined Muhammad and the marriage was consummated.[3][5][6][8][9][10] Most of the sources indicate that she was nine years old at the time, with the single exception of al-Tabari, who records that she was ten.[5] The sources do not offer much more information about Aisha's childhood years, but mention that after the wedding, she continued to play with her toys, and that Muhammad entered into the spirit of these games

          So much easier just to call M a paedo (if you are a hate filled c**t).

          But then people were pretty f**ked up in the old days. King John married a 12 year old.

          And Abraham was going to kill his son Isaac because 'God told me to'. Doesn't look too good from a modern perspective.

            That's an interesting statement. Compared to "life expectancy" it sounds dreadful. It's also not true (see lower table below) so whoever told you that was misinformed or lying. I think Iraq is the lowest at 20.6

            The bottom 40 countries on that list is dominated by poor African countries, not Moslem states.

            Some entries on that list, including the highest and lowest:

            Code:
            Country               	Median
             Japan                	44.6
             Italy                	44.3
             Germany              	43.7
             Hong Kong            	42.8
             Greece               	42.2
             Slovenia             	42.1
             Spain                	41.5
             Serbia               	41.1
             United Kingdom       	40.5
             Norway               	39.7
             France               	39.7
             Ukraine              	39.7
             Russia               	38.5
             Korea, South         	37.9
             Cuba                 	37.8

             Iceland              	35.4
             China                	35.2
             Korea, North         	33.9
             Qatar                	30.8
             Bahrain              	30.4
             United Arab Emirates 	30.2
             Lebanon              	29.4
             Israel               	29.3
              World               	28.4
             Brunei               	28.1
             Iran                 	27.6
             Saudi Arabia         	21.6
             Pakistan             	21.2
             West Bank            	20.9
             Iraq                 	20.6
             Eritrea              	18.5
             Afghanistan          	18

             Gaza Strip           	17.5
             Ethiopia             	16.8
             Uganda               	15

            A far more worrying and potentially damning statistic, is those 24 countries of the 228 where the average age of females is lower than that of men:

            Code:
            Country                   	Median	Male	Female	Diff
             Qatar                    	30.8	32.9	25.4	-7.5
             United Arab Emirates     	30.2	32.1	24.8	-7.3
             Bahrain                  	30.4	33.5	27.1	-6.4
             Kuwait                   	26.4	28.2	22.9	-5.3
             Oman                     	23.9	25.4	22.1	-3.3
             Greenland                	33.5	34.9	31.9	-3
             Saudi Arabia             	21.6	22.9	20	-2.9
             Maldives                 	25.9	26.6	24.7	-1.9
             Turks and Caicos Islands 	28	28.8	27.3	-1.5
             Bhutan                   	24.3	25	23.7	-1.3
             Macau                    	35.6	36.3	35	-1.3
             Yemen                    	16.4	16.8	16	-0.8

             Libya                    	24.2	24.3	24.2	-0.1
             Pakistan                 	21.2	21.3	21.2	-0.1

              Filthy wife beaters those Greenlanders.

              King John married a 12 year old
              The difference (apart from 4 years) is that King John is not the inspiration for millions who regard his words and deeds as a suitable basis for modern society.

                What about Abraham? And don't forget God who:

                Flooded the Earth killing everyone except Noah's family
                Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah having promised he wouldn't.
                Killed all the first born sons of Egypt to punish Pharaoh.

                Marrying a 9 year old in the circumstances described by the OP sounds no worse than God.

                  Agree with that. As an atheist I have always thought God was a God awful person.

                    Only just seen this - not a fan of people going overboard with what looks like little provocation. I understand the contentiousness of the topic but leave the out if you can help it. Oh, and I understand people don't want to be a 'snitch' but the report post button is there for a reason - we don't read everything on here. Ta.

                      Actually I think too much is made of the Aisha thing, it is not a major issue and I don't know why somebody always trots it out. Paedophilia is common anywhere where there are not strict and rigidly reinforced laws against it. It is rife in the third world and you could easily buy a seven year old for sex in Victorian England.
