Margaret of Poland, Islamic men do not go around marrying 9 year olds

Men and women of Arabic culture do have sex before marriage although it is discouraged just like it is in our Bible and here in the states. Doesn't mean we all follow the wishes of the Bible or the Quran.
Mohammed was reported to have married Aisha at age of 9 but there are reports it is believed she was 14 when the marriage was constimated and that was 1400 years ago, not the present beliefs of the Arabic men of today. The today generations are also not taking up to 4 wives as allowed by Mohammed and Allah in the Quran.

Im so sick of seeing how Arabic women don't have sex unless before marriage and how Muslim men do not want women unless a virgin,lol. Arabic women are mingling with the men on the streets, they are dressing provocative in their high heels and knee-high boots with jeans tucked inside and their very form fitting jeans, sweaters, etc. They are wearing bikini's on the beach and barely anything. They are dancing in night clubs, they are leaving with men and selling themselves for a Dirham/dollar. They are exchanging phone numbers on the streets. The divorced sisters are not out-casts. They have secret boyfriends which spend money and you know what? I bet there is sex involved in return. They are not PURE. They are not INNOCENT and YES they are human like all and they are definitely not all VIRGINS!

Moroccan sheik hushed for letting 9-year-olds wed

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Moroccan authorities have ordered the closure of dozens of schools and a Web site run by a Muslim religious leader who argued that girls as young as 9 could marry, local media reported Friday.

Sheik Mohammed Ben Abderahman al-Maghraoui had issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, on his Web site saying it was lawful for a Muslim man to marry a 9-year-old girl because Islam's Prophet Mohammed had done so.

Moroccan law, however, sets 18 as the minimum age for women to marry, and the Council of the Oulemas -- the country's highest religious authority -- denounced al-Maghraoui as an "agitator."

"What the Prophet can do is not open to ordinary Muslims," said lawyer Mourad El Bekkouri, who filed a legal complaint this month asking "the king's prosecutor to sue al-Maghraoui for promoting pedophilia and rape."

Government officials said at least three dozen Quranic schools would be shut, according to local media on Friday.

A Religion Ministry official has been fired in the southern town of Marrakech for not catching al-Maghraoui's contentious fatwa, the Al-Ahdath Al-Maghribiya newspaper reported.

None of the newspapers named their sources and Moroccan officials could not be reached Friday for comment. However the lawyer, El Bekkouri, confirmed the media reports.

Al-Maghraoui was not immediately available for comment, but his Web site appeared to be accessible from outside Morocco.

Several newspapers reported that al-Maghraoui's religious schools and his Web site were funded by Saudi Arabia, which promotes a particularly rigorous strain of Islam known as Wahhabism.

Morocco, which is a relatively tolerant Muslim country and a strong U.S.-ally, has been battling a growing tide of radical Islam in recent years. The North African kingdom has tried to balance its courtship of Western tourism with the expectations of traditionalist societies in its population.
