Because in none of the points you just mentioned, were the courts responsible for upholding marriage to 8 year old girls, no where in these items did a mother and grandmother refuse to help their child not be raped. None of those things you mentioned are imposed by law, as they are in muslim countries

Priests raping children is wrong and against the law. Islamic councils raping children to punish their families is the law in some islamic locals. NO where in America is this the case.

Prostitution is among ADULTS and is still illegal in most of the U.S. Judging by the amount of filthy talk I get when I enter an islamic yahoo chat, there is plenty of solicitation for sex going on in ALL muslim countries.

At least in America when woman reports being raped, she isn't executed, as is the custom in most Islamic countries.

Sure, there are problems here. The same problems exist in muslim countries with the added offense of legal sanction of rape and child molestation.

So, do tell me, where in America is it legal to marry and rape and 8 yr old, and where in American do the courts rape young girls to punish their families because a brother spoke to the wrong person? Where in America has a woman been executed for reporting a rape?

Well?? I would love to hear your answer. To say that America has problems and therefore Islam is not bad is an absurd comparison.
