A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate. If he penetrates and the child is harmed then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however would not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl's sister.
it is sick but it's not much worse than the old testament and even how some westerners view women or children as property even if they give different lip service. the only difference is modern laws
We are talking about CURRENTLY SANCTIONED ACTIONS.
For example, illegal child sex slavery here in the US is not excusable because it used to be legal at some point in history.
I mean, if I start my own Church which urges people to enslave others....I guess my defense is that in the past other religions allowed slavery.
I wonder what the Fundamental Latter Day Saints have to say on this topic. The example given is just to reinforce the Islamic notion that women and children are a man’s' property to do with whatever he wants. That is a great religion for adolescent males that never have to grow up.
BTW - It is NOT our responsibility to rid the world of evil. If it was we should start at home first. I suggest eliminating poverty and achieving “Liberty and Justice for All” would be a good place to start.
Again, we judge other nations/religions by western standards. Let's ask a Hindu what he thinks about our eating beef shall we?

Are you confusing the abuse of others with personal dietary decisions?
I'm 100% in favor of anything that goes on with regards to consent and personal choices in these matters.
Mutliple wives, eating practices, clothing and so on and so forth I'm fine and dandy with.
However, marrying 9 year olds off to 40 year old guys.....yeah....um....I'm not cool with that.

Amen to that! We have plenty of injustice at home, including a lot of it instituted under the guise of fighting injustices. "Child abuse" is one of the main ones.
Possibly the stupidest post of the day. Do you really believe this crap that you wrote?
Thanks for the kind words.
Of course I believe it. Liberals hate Christianity, as well as the family and the middle class, as they are the main impediments to the spread of socialism in America. Apparently you did not get the memo from the Frnakfurt School. Witness what the left has promoted over the last 50 years-
1. the welfare state to weaken the family and make the state more important
2. the drug culture to weaken the family
3. assaults against any mention of Christianity or prayer in public places
4. assualts against any mention of God anywhere in public
5. uniform derision of Christianity as a superstition among the liberals (who are mostly atheists, just as Stalin wanted). There can be no loyalty to the state when one holds God in higher regard.
6. Trade policies (NAFTA and China most favored nation trade status) which have destroyed the middle class. Both were creations of Clinton and the libs.
Liberals LOVE Islam, despite its practice endorsing mutilation and subjugation of women, killing gays, and suppressing human rights. They just can't get enough of it. It is a logical ally for the lib in the "fight" against Christianity which somewhat akin to the Allies embracing Stalin in WW2. Sometimes these alliances go back to "bite" you.
Perhaps you should explore the basis of your liberal beliefs and realize that they were based in evil, not altrusim. Of course, you will not explore this, as introspection can sometimes be painful.
