Muslim-Arabic culture in Gaza

[Jam]

Men between 20-30 years old get married to 6-13 year old girls. Mohammed started it and people follow.

Those little girls are probably not brides because for one thing, grooms and brides celebrate separately in Islam. That is a mass wedding organised and funded by the Gaza government and those kids that randomly appear with some of the men could be anyone.

If you knew any Arabs, you'd know that they'd kill you for looking at their 14 yr old sister or cousin let alone 6-13 yr old.

Are you really sure about that??? I lived in a Muslim country and I am familar with their weddings. Grooms and brides don't celebrate seperately.

If those little girls are not their brides why don't they show older women? Where are the real brides?

That is a mass wedding organized by Hamas.

How do you explain the marriage between prophet Mohammad and 7 year old Aisha??? Yes, Mohammad and Aisha were both Arabs. Mohammed wasn't killed by Aishas father or brothers.

Here's coverage of the event http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYmtaXQHEtw

Those pictures are purposely distorted and misrepresented by Islamophobes. Read this http://blogs.news.sky.com/foreignmat...8-5c1135ba6417 and all I had to do was a quick Google search.

This news item says:

Only the bridegrooms, dressed in strict black suits, were on the decorated stage before the ceremony, while the brides were hidden from the public's view.

That was 1600 yrs ago.

So, since you are an expert of Islam and cultures in the Middle East you are sure that nothing exists from the time Mohammed lived. When Mohammed died Islam has changed a lot and yet it has nothing to with that time right?

Tell me what has changed since 1600 years ago and what has not changed.

People still kill in the name of Islam like before. Muslim men are still allowed to marry more than one woman (polygamy) in some countries)...

If you invaded America, people would kill you in the name of McDonald's. Nobody is killing anyone in the name of Islam. They are killing because their friends and family have died in the hands of the occupying forces.

I see polygamy as more normal than having one wife and constantly cheating on her. But who am I to make the rules.
