We are constantly admonished that Turkey is a moderate Muslim nation (although the caliph Erdogan is working rapidly to change that), a model for the rest of the Islamic world and a demonstration of the fact that Islam can be compatible with a free and prosperous modern society. Yet as always, Islam sets the limits of just how free and modern a Muslim nation can be, and as Turkey grows more Islamic and less secular by the day, this kind of thing should be expected. Turkey’s top Islamic body has to come out in favor of child marriage because Muhammad married his favorite wife Aisha at age six and consummated the marriage when Aisha was nine.
Since Muhammad did that, there is no way that Turkey could do anything but endorse child marriage. They cannot increase the age for marriage; the age which is allowed in Islam must be followed, especially now that Erdogan is working so hard to bring sharia back. There are protests against the Diyanet about this now, but Erdogan will see to that.
And the Democrats and RINOs are doing everything they possibly can to bring this terror to our cities, towns, schools.

“Turkey’s Top Islamic Body Suggests Girls as Young as 9 Could Marry,” by Vijeta Uniyal, Truth Revolt, January 5, 2018 (thanks to Todd):
Turkey’s state religious affairs body has declared that girls as young as nine could marry. Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, or Diyanet, justified the move saying it is merely stating Islamic law.
Turkey has a high rate of child marriage with reportedly 15 percent of Turkish girls marrying before the age of 18. The actual figure could be much higher, as most child marriages go unregistered. The legal age of marriage in Turkey is 18.
In the early part of the nineteenth century, the Muslim-majority country underwent a phase of secularization under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk – the founder of the modern Turkish state. The country is now being systematically Islamized by President Recep Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) ever since it took hold of state power fifteen years ago.
In 2016, President Erdogan’s AKP introduced a legislation in the national parliament that aimed to pardon child rapists if they marry their underage victims. Turkish women took to the streets in opposition to the law, forcing the government to scrap the bill.
Hollywood celebrities and women’s groups in the West – obsessed with an imaginary gender pay gap, mansplaining, or usage of false gender-specific pronouns – couldn’t find it in themselves to stand up for the brave Turkish sisters fighting the real rape culture.
British newspaper The Independent reported:
A government body in Turkey has suggested that girls as young as nine and boys as young as 12 could marry under Islamic law, prompting the country’s main opposition party to call for an investigation into child marriages.
An online glossary of Islamic terms was posted by Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs – or Diyanet – which is responsible for administering religious institutions and education.
The website said that, according to Islamic law, whoever had reached the age of adolescence had the right to marry. Elsewhere, the beginning of adolescence was defined as nine and 12 for girls and boys respectively.
The legal age of marriage in Turkey is 18, or 17 with parental consent. In exceptional circumstances people can marry at 16, subject to court approval. However, child marriage in religious ceremonies is widespread in Turkey, taking place in clandestine ceremonies often conducted by a local elder and held at a family’s home.
With uncontrolled migration from Turkey and other Muslim countries into Europe, cases of child brides are surfacing in Europe as well. In 2016, German authorities estimated that there were around 1,500 married children in Germany, of whom over 360 were under the age of 14.
In 2016, German Justice Minister Heiko Maas proposed a law to legalize existing child marriages. The German newspaper Bild Zeitung describes the proposed law: “a 13-year-old child bride would have to testify against her husband, saying that her well-being as a child is under threat. If neither the child nor the Child Welfare Service lodges a complaint, for all practical purposes the marriage would be declared legitimate.”…

This news report has nauseated me. The world is silent to these abuses? The legal age of “marriage” went from 18 years old to 9 years old in that country? A rapist goes free IF he MARRIES his victim?
I can’t deal with this stuff. I hope God judges this, that’s all I can say.
Christians stood up against slavery in the world, and Apartheid in Africa, as did a large majority of countries, via opinion, sanctions etc. People are, for most part, silent, concerning the abuse of women.

We shouldn’t have to deal with it. I personally don’t care what they do in their own countries. It’s when they bring it over here that I have a problem. Allowing foreigners into your country as immigrants is fine under certain conditions, but their numbers must be kept very small so that they never have the chance to threaten or change the dominant culture or demography.
South Africa was thrown to the wolves by everyone except Israel, but that is a different story. A story that shows how demography is destiny.

Foreign immigrants is one thing and not always bad but Muslim foreign immigrants is a totally other ball game. It’s just like inviting cancer into your country, they destroy the infrastructure of everything leaving a useless shell.

I can imagine the reaction at that well known citadel of human rights, the United Nations when they hear of this.
That’s right, silence.

Sorry, Turkey is not a liberal country nor have the Turks ever advertised it as such.

The whole idea it ever was a liberal paradise is a complete fantasy — just ask the:
1. Greeks slaughtered wholesale on the orders of “secular” Ataturk
2. the victims of the Istanbul pogrom — all kuffar, mostly Greek, but any convenient Jews
3. the people ethnically cleansed from 40% of Cyprus when Turkey without provocation or cause unilaterally invaded Cyprus and installed a puppet muslum government.

…..and May said last week that Islamic culture is aligned to Western culture, and more precise to British culture. As soon as Islamist’s decide to embrace Sharia and get overtly religious, that’s when they can kiss their freedoms goodbye and where its gets really weird. Islam is as compatible with Western culture as chalk is to cheese.

Turkey wants the Ottoman Empire back and they have I think the 3 rd largest military in the world. They are going to be a major problem in the future. Buck a Christian 100% disabled Vietnam veteran right wing republican life time member of the NRA and friend to Israel

If left to erdigan Kemel Attaturks name would be illegal to utter.

Ataturk is the hawse hole who ordered/orchestrated the ethnic cleansing (genocide?) of Greeks in Turkey. Tens of thousands of Greeks were murdered by Turks on his orders and an entire town of Greek Turkish citizens torched.

A pedophile, donkey ucking, violent sodomizing cult. The left don’t care. They need them to stay in power. The Negro sodomite Moslem obama was proud to be one.

Ever since it’s inception Islam has been ‘by their prophets very nature’ a paedophilic culture. It’s ingrained in their being and can not be separated. The thought pattern goes….if it was good enough for mohaMad then it’s good enough for me.
PROSCRIBE ISLAM!

Well’ if it was good enough for the prophet!
No doubt these sick paedophilic scum would like to thigh the poor innocent little girls before they reach 9. Just like their sick disgusting prophet.
Any and all outrages that was practiced by mohaMad are permissible in Islam.

The men can ALSO “pleasure” themselves with the child’s infancy until officially “marry”. Little boys can be made-up and dressed as girls, to dance and pleasure the men. And once in our countries, are ALLOWED to invoke religious rights as permission. WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS?
