And yet everytime I visit this site, I see nothing but insults, vulgarity and total intolerance to wards Christians. Whats up? You don't mind running us down, but muslims can fly planes into buildings, blow up ships & embassies, kill women and children and now they are kidnapping 14 & 15 year old girls and forcing them into marriage with men at least twice their age, making them convert to islam, and denying them the right to ever see their parents or family again. Are the non-believers too afraid to say anything about mulsim?

I'm not making this up. Look on the net about 10,000 Christians try to march in egypt over this issue, because it's been going on so long.

Finally, you said what needs to be said to millions. This terror fad sweeping the world is based in the Muslim religion and the sooner we face it , the sooner the world becomes safer.
Hey don;t get me wrong, I'm not defending Christian or Catholic....extreemism from any group is bad.
odd that women must cover thier ankles and hair in public but if a muslim man kills an infidel in the name of Allah he recieves 72 virgins in heaven !!!!?!!!!
What the hell is that? are they nuts?
(don't answer, I know the answer)

Its extremely simple. Islamically the marriage is forced if the girl or boy does not agree: during the Nikah (marriage ceremony) they have to say I agree 3 times (Kabul). Therefore that is an agreement and not forced, if they don't say agree 3 times then the married is invalid regardless of the ceremony being completed. Now your real question is, was Aisha old enough to agree to the marriage, well that's subjective. You clearly think she wasn't and that somehow means forced marriage is allowed is Islam, when its not. Maybe a thousand years ago a six year olds kabul was acceptable, or her fathers was but now it clearly isn't. Times change, and no one can legitimately marry a girl under puberty using religion. Mohammed (PBUH) didn't consummate the marriage until she hit puberty (started her period around age 9). Islamically women are seen as adults after they hit puberty, for guys i think the age is about 12 because they don't menstruate. Men have been marrying young girls for thousands of years and it was normal back then, but now its seen as extremely wrong. Understand this things CHANGE throughout HISTORY. Cultural norms change, and I repeat 99.99% of muslim men would now never marry a girl before she hits puberty, only in freaky rural places where they are extremely uneducated.

It is not true at all.
The problem mainly comes from that Christians have a deep feeling of oppression because some of their girls or boys converted to Islam. They claim that their girls have been kidnapped and forced to...etc, well, the Police investigated two cases regarding this matter before, they found the two girls and they said that they chose to marry Muslim guys and converted to Islam.
The last case you are talking about concerning one girl, She spoke by phone on one of the TV programmes and said that she loved a Muslim guy BUT SHE DID NOT convert to Islam.
YOU have to know something very important, religion & honour in Egypt, for BOTH Muslims & Christians is a matter of life & death.
If that Girl showed on TV or went back to her family, she will be killed, as she did not keep her honour (I do not know if you quite understand what I mean?, hope you do)
- Same thing happened for young Muslim guys & girls, they disappeared, after checking, their families knew that they have converted to Christianity.
This Issue is very sensitive here other than any other place (i.e. if this happened in USA, no one would give a dam who converted to what).
BUT as I told you it is a very critical issue here.
i.e. I have a colleague sitting next to me at the office she one of my best friends, and she is Christian.
Finally, Do you want to convince me that Christians will just stand still watching their girls kidnapped?!!! HONOR
I have to say that these demonstration happens with a bit of Denial to the truth.

"...but muslims can fly planes into buildings, blow up ships & embassies, kill women and children and now they are kidnapping 14 & 15 year old girls and forcing them into marriage with men at least twice their age..."
Anyone with knowledge, training, guts and insanity can do all of those, Muslims or not. And such cruelty occurs anywhere on earth be it Hiroshima & Nagasaki, or Pearl Harbor. Muslims didn't initiated genocide against the Jews in Germany. Children & women traffickers are everywhere, from east europe & southeast asia, across both christian and islamic countries.
And I'm not ignoring the fact that, often expat housemaids working in Saudi Arabia return home with their employers' babies, or worse they return in crates, as they refused and fought when they were being raped, yet again, such cases repeat themselves in Malaysia, Singapore, Korea...
In conclusion, Muslims or not, evil & crime are everywhere.

Some people like larry & aa mohammad here have pointed out that US soldiers have raped & killed a muslim girl & her family & then burnt up the corpse. I dont know what link they have achieved (except maybe that two wrongs make a right).
However they should note that the soldiers that committed the rape & killing have been imprisoned & are being tried in a military court & will probably face the death sentence. However the perpetrators of what has been done in your question are scot free & enjoying themselves with the girls they have kidnapped.
There have been many similar cases in Pakistan as well.

You are way out of line. You cannot judge a religion by observing a few believer.
You have American (christain) soldiers raping 14 year girl burning her, killing her entire family; you have gay bishops; you have priest molesting children and you have the pope saying that he would not investigate these aligations and anyone who does will be ex-communicated. But all these does not mean that all Christians are rapiests or molestor.
Similarly you cannot blame a religious belief by the action of a few. Think i am sure you are a good chirtian you should not be fueling these kinds of hatred.

In every religion there are good followers and bad followers.Good followers obey all instrutions and prohibitions of Allah the only one God.Bad followers disobey some of instructions and prohibitions of Allah stated in the holy book.You must separate between bad follower with its religion teaching.
Kidnapping young girls and force marriage,insulting,vulgarity and intolerance without justified reason are not in line with Islamic teaching

I mentioned the murder in Australia yesterday, and actually was attacked for trying to incite intollerance. By an Atheist at that!
I think it's disgusting, what these people do & what others allow to be done.

I'm an equal opportunity religion basher. It just happens that Christians are disprpoprtionately represented here. But I bash Islam every chance I get too.

Are they afraid to say anything?? You know in many societies people aren't just afraid to say something they are even afraid to think.
