the age of consent for a girl under sharia law is 9 years old , do you think we will see a lot of celebs ( gary glitter , jonathan king etc ) changing faiths ?

marriages are arranged at that age, this is true, the girl still must consent and divorce is easy. They do not usually move in together until they are much older. Your question seems just to be a bash at Muslims generally, but you might just be having a go at English Pedophiles.
The Muslim reasons for marriage at this age is different than what you might expect, and resembles our concept of engagement more than consummated marriage. The females also have much more say in this than most media would lead you to think. You might like to know a little bit more about how their system works. This is a brief on the subject of Sharia law from the University of Illinois at Chicago. It is about the system generally not about specific laws.

p.s. I am not an Islamic so this is the best explanation I can offer

Sharia law says that women can be married at that age. not have sex. sex outside of marriage is punished severly. especially for women. so parents marry off the girls young to prevent pre marital sex. men usually wait until the girl is older like 16, 17, 18 to bed them.
its a good thing i don't live in an Islamic state, i would have rebeled.

first just because it's culture that does not make it right, and in UK even with a change of religion they would still face charges, even by travelling abroad to try and get away with it.. the law of the land would over rule an individuals right to abuse children due to their faith, in most countries..

A 9 year old girl, isn't biological ready for having sex, that law is wrong! Still very young teenagers die in many places of the world because a teenage girl body isn't ready for birth either...

girls count nothing in their lives, 9 or not. for many of them, young boys are much more important. as younger, as better. even if by sharia it is HARAM (forbiden) they do young boys.

A nine year old child cannot concent to sex. That is called rape of a child. That is sick and totally wrong. You need to concentrate on the word of God and get your mind out of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
