An 11 year old Yemeni girl fled after her family tried to marry her off to an older man. This is quite common throughout the Dar al-Islam, i.e. Muslim world.
Child Brides - Pictures, More From National Geographic Magazine

Ayyan Hirsi Ali was a product of this practice. She was able to escape, just as Nada Al-Ahdal.

But who are we to judge? Cultural diversity, moral relativism, and all that. Right, lefties? We should send her back to her native prison, just as we did with Elian Gonzales.

What does "lefties" have anything to do with it? Glad she escaped. And for the record, I disagreed with what happened to Elian.

An 11 year old girl (no matter her culture heritage) is not ready for the duties of marriage of sexual relations.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The sentence stated, and I quote: "Right, lefties? "

What made you feel the need to only bring out lefties?

There was a "period" and then "Right, lefties?"

I think the poster did that because it's the liberals who claim that all cultures are equal and we cannot ever say one is better than another --- except for American culture which you have to say is bad.

Yep, They have been doing this for thousands of years. Why should our culture determine what is right in the 3rd world? So what if they have Child brides or still have Slavery in North Africa or the middle east, and use thier chosen religion to justify it

This IS the traditional marriage thing the right wing wackos seem to preach about.

Provide something to back up YOUR claim.

I really don't think you can, but it will be interesting to see if you can.
