This is nothing

Well a story of a 9 year old getting married and raped by man old enough to be her father may sound disturbing and annoying to you, but this is nothing - not even a trailer - of what these Muslim ghetto socieites do amongst themselves. Like any other society Muslims have the upper and lower classes and they have their values and perceptions of religion accordingly. You can find the rich Muslim families where there is no burqua, they have access to everything and they enjoy life as they want. Best example being the Arab Sheikhs who start drinking whiskies and cocktails as soon as their private jets leave saudi air space.

As you move to lower classes they have nothing better to do but to follow the clerics and live by the Quran. Their women and kids are the worst suffering lot. Though some women enjoy into being Burqas and feel safe and superiror and what not, majority of women I know, feel themselves shut down and want to go for Hijab (head scarf) which is more open than the full veil. The cases of incest is maximum in these ghettos and young girls are treated like animals and sold off ususally against a "dowry" - a muslim ritual where groom pays for the bride to her father.

But in poorer muslim families this dowry becomes greed and fathers actually sell their daughters and Islam permits it. Since this religion is medieval and give provides safeways to fulfill to a man's basic greeds, people with low or no virtue get attracted to it easily. It gives you a free hand to have as many women you want legally. Also it has very easy exit clause to replace a wife with a new concubine. It allows you to have young underage girls as mistresses and it allows for the ways to ensure that you get out of the trouble and no women shouts or says anything as clergy will take care of it. If there is any opposition there are strict punishment under Islamic law of Shariya, If a man commits adultry GOD will take care of him, but if a women commits adultery, then she must be stoned to death or similar so that all women remain as goats in their herd and never say a word.

So for poorer muslims this is a escape from their basic problems and enjoying life. However as you see muslim women of richer class they being better educated and exposed to outside world, the same Muslim husbands adhere to one wife and remain calm even if they do not wear burqas etc.

Also Muslims of Arab world are different in culture from Muslims of say Pakistan or Indonesia or Russia. Local culture has been changed with islamic colors onto it, because they all are basically local converts and they just cant get rid of their customs and rituals overnight. So though they claim to be one for a cause of ISLAM, they are divided in million places amongst themselves. Once their cause is over say Palestine issue get solved or Kashmir, Chechenya, Philipine or even Osama chapter gets sorted out, then also they will find new cause or pretext to start fights and terror.

Dont expect any peace or stability from their end. Terror and hatred is in their blood and genes, small kids have been brainwashed in most of these societies, youth is angry and getting training for some final war with world, older generation cannot control them and clerics encourage them to go and fight, they are aliented from mainstream world and the muslims who live in western socieities are making it worse by becoming their local terror and hate agents. I remember someone said to me once that "Muslim is forbidden from eating pork and drinking wine, so the Jihadi Muslim has found alternate by eating humans and sniffing dope". And thats a fact, in all islamic socieities where wine is banned, the youths are into drugs and a drug addict can be easily moulded into whatever you want, especailly suicide bombers.

I can see a war in near future, a war which will destroy this planet and half the human race.
