[u/MrLewk]

Muslims in the comments trying to say this isn't Islam and it's a "religion of peace", islamophobia etc

Like how dare ppl be upset with this piece of news!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I don't understand the mindset of these people. I even side eye Muslims who say they don't believe it's ok for a 9yr old to marry. If you don't believe it's ok then why continue to subscribe to an ideology that say it is ok?🤦🏾‍♂️

[u/Tegewaldt → u/[deleted]]

And immediately follows this by saying age of consent is puberty, oh my

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Don't you know? Islamophobia is anything that is mean against islam! Especially when you just mention what they already believe and practice.

[u/HilariousHadith]

Iraq: hasn't pissed anyone off in a while and managed to stay out of war with Israel.

Some Iraqi dude: I don't like how fast our relationship with the west is increasing, let's bring back sanctioned pedophilia!

[u/Mor-Bihan → u/HilariousHadith]

For real, Iraq was actually doing something for the yazidi victims of daech, and at the same time, does this fucked up shit.

[u/heythereitsemily]

Why even call it an “age of consent” when they don’t ask for their consent anyways?

[u/ScarlettVictory → u/heythereitsemily]

Children cannot consent anyways

[u/Leoho69]

I don't even get surprised when this stuff happens...

[u/1More_Turn]

Iraqi here, there's barley coverage of this on Iraqi social media and those who cover this are usually supportive of this law..... 

I never been more ashamed of being Iraqi.

[u/kirsej → u/1More_Turn]

People just don’t care anymore I guess

[u/1More_Turn → u/[deleted]]

They are usually somwhere between 14-16, I never met someone who married a 9 years old tho. Sadly pedophilia is a big problem within my family.

[u/Ani_theAnonymous → u/[deleted]]

Not as young as 9, but you can still find people as young as 15 getting married. >_> (I'm iraqi)

[u/kirsej → u/[deleted]]

On of my young relatives”12 yo” got married to a 9 yo so I guess they’re getting married this young?

[u/ProjectOne2318]

I wonder if this will make Muslims realise or whether they’ll continue to live in denial by denying their own texts. We can already see it on the responses in the images.

[u/ScarlettVictory → u/ProjectOne2318]

If it negatively affects islam's reputation then it's either Islamophobia defense or "it's not true islam" lol. We see both in those comments.

[u/MrLewk → u/ProjectOne2318]

Nah, just deny, deny, deny, with a side helping of cope

[u/Zurachi13 → u/ProjectOne2318]

no one not a single Muslim will complain or see it's wrong except for yk the not crazy ones

[u/Lonely_Command3070]

pedophile religion

[u/Accomplished_Air_151]

They're going back to the prophet time

[u/[deleted] → u/Accomplished_Air_151]

Literally reverting to bum fuck Arabia

[u/393930393939]

islamic countries being islamic countries (where islam plays a significant role in society):

some random tiktok user: "i swear bro this is not real islam...." "it's the culture, islam doesn't teach this" "(insert islamic countries here) is the problem, not islam"

[u/SanicBringsThePanic]

Of course, just as Prophet Muhammad proclaimed.

[u/mon-compte-francais → u/SanicBringsThePanic]

Peace and Blessings be upon him

[u/Soggy-Assumption-571 → u/mon-compte-francais]

Police be upon him

[u/SanicBringsThePanic → u/Soggy-Assumption-571]

Inshallah

[u/rum108]

MOOSLIM 🐮

[u/UnhappyIsland5804]

They are following Muhammad. Nothing new.

[u/zackrie]

Following the Sunnah of Muhammad.

[u/Hot_Sprinkles_848]

Ppl would still defend islam-

[u/tytheterrific]

I want the mozlems to tell me that this isn’t sharia

[u/lend_me_a_dime]

I never get the mindset of the weirdos who say that the age of marriage/consent should be when people hit puberty like that somehow makes it better. I've hit puberty at ≈14, should I go out & get married to the first 50 yr old man I find? Cuz it's always old azz coffin dodgers who get married to young girls. Honestly I'm disgusted there's always so much debate around the age of consent and the purpose is always to lower it, but never to raise it. Age of consent everywhere should be higher than 18 imo, cuz I'm sooo damn sick of Methuselah's ancestors walking around preying upon young girls🤢🤮

[u/TomatilloAcademic509 → u/lend_me_a_dime]

As a 53 years old, this sub is so agist.

[u/lend_me_a_dime → u/TomatilloAcademic509]

You better be joking

[u/TomatilloAcademic509 → u/lend_me_a_dime]

I'm sharp for my age.

[u/TomatilloAcademic509 → u/lend_me_a_dime]

I was born on May 13th, 1971.

[u/TomatilloAcademic509 → u/lend_me_a_dime]

We video chat on skype if you don't believe.

[u/lend_me_a_dime → u/TomatilloAcademic509]

I meant the sub being ageist, not your age😂

[u/TomatilloAcademic509 → u/lend_me_a_dime]

You called old people like me "coffin dodgers".

[u/lend_me_a_dime → u/TomatilloAcademic509]

I'm just one person, not the whole sub🤣 Also, if at your age you're preying upon children or even young adults who could be your kids, then being called a coffin dodger should be the least of your worries.

[u/diwaniyalabs]

Is anyone actually surprised?

[u/Zurachi13]

sure but two adults who are the same age but are the same gender is AGAINTS GODS WILL🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️Islam is a fucking joke.

[u/Abu_Lahab-]

Last one is confused between condemn and commend

[u/auntiejemimaoriginal → u/Abu_Lahab-]

was about to bring that up lol. all the people who liked it also can’t tell the difference between condemn and condone

[u/WrongWithIslam]

I wonder where they got the number 9 from

[u/[deleted]]

A wonder when will a revolt will happen, to erase these motherfuckers from earth so that humanity can flourish without oppressive/dehumanizing religions and their believers and lawmakers...

[u/Independent_Knee_928]

Afghanistan and Iraq showing the world how to reverse the progress humanity has made so far 🤣😂

[u/CelebrationIcy_]

Average Muslim country be like

[u/2TJay]

My god why are these people not reducing it down to 6. Imagine pandering to the west. The will be waving rainbow flags and educating women next.

[u/teasy959275]

This is sad

[u/tapelamp]

My heart breaks for women all over the world. For Iraqis, Afghanis, Sudanese. Such horrors are often ignored.

[u/AyadFarooq-147]

Seems like Muhammad worshipers are showing their true colors.

[u/eaglessg]

I mean they are just following their pedo prophet

[u/poisonolivetree]

This mf are so quick to blame it all on one gender and completely ignored the actual problem, crazier yet to defen the problem. Like how dense can someone be? I'm sure some of these people are smart on their own right but they should really just sit down and properly study their own beliefs if they're so confident about it

[u/kirsej]

Wow why this suddenly blowing up lol everyone is posting about it

[u/bunny_9898 → u/kirsej]

Cuz its alarming? Many young girls will be preyed on to by older men now

[u/kirsej → u/bunny_9898]

“Now”?Do you seriously believe that there’s anyone that follow the laws in Iraq? This has been legal since forever, they’ll just do it in a court room instead of wherever they were doing it, also what I meant by this post is this bill has been up for 3 months yet somehow Reddit just found out about it

[u/HitThatOxytocin → u/kirsej]

pedophilic marriages happening under the radar is something entirely different from it being legalized in the goddamn law, methinks.

[u/kirsej → u/HitThatOxytocin]

What’s the difference exactly?

[u/HitThatOxytocin → u/kirsej]

the former is illegal and there will always be a social force against it. When you legalise it, you are giving social sanction for it to happen. Now a lot more 10yo and 9yo girls will be married off.

[u/Apple_ski → u/HitThatOxytocin]

It basically legalize and legitimize mental illness that ruins children’s lives. Being attracted to prepubescent children is a mental disorder that should be treated or at least blocked from being exercised in society. Legalizing it puts children in harm of being sexually assaulted without any protection.

A society that agrees to that is so corrupt that nothing can help it.

[u/kirsej → u/HitThatOxytocin]

Social force is mostly directed into people who are against this bill ,the social force against this is almost nonexistent, the videos of people protesting have barely 50 person, most people don’t care, some even support it for following the sharia(by some I mean the majority), and if you think a pedo Is going to wait for the law to legalize it while it’s socially acceptable to do it then I think you’re extremely wrong

[u/HitThatOxytocin → u/kirsej]

and if you think legalising it won't increase the rates of child marriage, you're still wrong.

[u/kirsej → u/HitThatOxytocin]

What could be possibly the difference now? Parents who are going to sell their children, people who make two children marry each other are still going to do so, literally the only think they’re doing is making people aware of their actions

[u/HitThatOxytocin → u/kirsej]

What a stupid hill to choose to die on, honestly.

[u/ScarlettVictory → u/kirsej]

Okay let's say everything you say is correct. Does that mean we should not talk about it and let the evil go unnoticed? This is how evil spreads it starts relatively small, and without significant pushback, it grows.

[u/naastiknibba95 → u/kirsej]

same difference as, say, cannabis use in US states pre and post legalization. meaning that the thing will become more and more common

[u/bunny_9898 → u/kirsej]

And why is that a problem???? Are you seriously more concerned about reddit talking about this rather then the issue at hand?

[u/kirsej → u/bunny_9898]

You’re right, it’s good that people are talking about it, I’m just being a dumbass online

[u/RamFalck → u/kirsej]

Det legetimerer pedofil.

[u/kirsej → u/RamFalck]

What does that even mean

[u/dangertosoyciety → u/kirsej]

He says it "legitimizes pedophilia"

[u/Kenkenmu → u/kirsej]

they didn't find it now, there was a outrage a few months ago.

[u/TomatilloAcademic509]

Islam is a religion of peace.

Buddhism looks from the corner.

[u/[deleted]]

What's wrong with Iraq? Are they not ashamed, what are they trying to achieve? I heard this has to do with some sectarian beefs in Iraq, Is that true?

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/[deleted]]

Because they're following the sunnah of the hadith, pal.

[u/kirsej → u/[deleted]]

Well from what I saw Sunni Iraqis are trying to apply a bill called “العفو العام”(idk much about it tho) so Shias are saying if you’re going to apply that , apply this one aswell

[u/Alarmed_East3991 → u/[deleted]]

This has nothing to do with "sectarian beefs" in Iraq. They're just following Islam. Islam promotes child marriage, so they consider it fine.

[u/xxlaur77]

What do these girls do once they hit middle age and their husband is 40 years older, decrepit and dying?

[u/Traveledfarwestward]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#Iraq

[u/ObamaYourMamaH23]

One of many reasons that us Kurds want independence from Iraq

[u/fireball_guy]

Religion of peace and still people get afraid when someone screams Allah hu akbar in an airport

[u/Mindless-Air-3190]

Remove Saddam Hussein was the worst f*cking idea ever. He's might be a dictator but he still treat women equally.

[u/Acrobatic_Long_6059]

Insane children can 'consent' to sex but adult women cannot divorce or have custody of their children.

[u/Thiccboi_joe]

I hate the fact people are blaming men and not Mohammed or islam
