You have to ask yourself what kind of “Prophet” marries a 9 year old then consummates the marriage, and has loopholes in his scriptures in order to sanction rape.

two things come to mind …

1) all of them (i think)

2) that’s my kind of “Prophet”—more about the here and now and less about that after you die it’s all rosy bullshit that makes up most religions

In Iran “short term” marriages (lasting for an hour or so) are a widely accepted part of social life - and effectively just another word for prostitution. As particularly handy does the fact come in that men can also take short term 2nd, 3rd or 4th wives. Thus, being married is not really an obstacle to "short-term-wifery". “Rape of course is not allowed, however there is a loophole, you can engage in a “short term” marriage.”

They are not on a Jihad to serve Allah; they are a bunch of dead-enders who use Jihad as a cover for their commerce. They take what they want and the business-end of their AK-47’s is their office. They would rape whomever they want whenever, and wherever they can get away with it. These neighborhood bullies have no integrity, think about it! #16 You are speculating these thugs actually follow the Koran.

Rape of course is not allowed, however there is a loophole, you can engage in a "short term" marriage. I don't remember the exact period, something like 24 hours to 3 days. During this time the woman belongs to you and you can do whatever you want. After the 3 days or whatever is up the marriage is over. This way there is technically no rape. You have to ask yourself what kind of "Prophet" marries a 9 year old then consumates the marriage, and has loopholes in his scriptures in order to sanction rape. Anyway given the Taliban I would have thought it was more likely the men were raped. Been studying the Koran a bit and some of what I’ve read I certainly don’t like.
