How many Iranians do you run across in an average year?

From the sounds of it and the way Progs are trying their damnedest to normalize pedophilia, I would say in the Left's eyes it's progressive.

Actually progressives are the ones who lobbied to get the age raised a century ago. I think it was a mistake, but it was part of the progressive reform era, and it's much more logically consistent with liberal belief in improving society through legislation than it is with the opposed conservative views of the state and society.

It is not uncommon in the Muslim world for girls to commit suicide by setting themselves on fire. From Afghanistan to Somalia.

No comment really necessary. It speaks for itself.

When Saudi Arabia announced three months ago that girls as young as 10-years old would now be allowed to marry, Iran decided to drop the age limit even further.

Iranian Christian news service Mohabat News reports a member of the Iranian Parliament (Majiles) Mohammad Ali Isfenani, "we must regard 9 as being the appropriate age for a girl to have reached puberty and qualified to get married. To do otherwise would be to contradict and challenge Islamic Sharia law."

He argues,"Before the revolution girls under 16 were not allowed to marry. Parents determined to get around the law would often tamper with their daughter's birth certificate. Under the previous constitution, people were legally regarded as adults when they were 18. After the revolution the age at which children were regarded as going through puberty was lowered to 9 for girls and 15 for boys.
