Open question: Too lazy to look it up

Darling minions of RightGirl, can you answer a question for me? Islamic women wear hijab to hide their modesty, right? Lately, I have been seeing hijab on ever-younger little girls – 5 or 6 years old. It was my understanding that preserving one’s modesty was reserved for post-pubescent girls, as they were now considered “women.”

Was my original understanding wrong, or are we just putting soooo many hormones in halal goat these days that little girls of 5 or 6 are now considered marrigeable?

Thanks!

    The profet Ala keepeth in its holy bussom, last married Aisha a 9 year old girl; the consideration was made at the beginning. Much success to you in your search for answers, your humble admirer

  2. Call me uneducated on the way of the terrorists, but I thought they could mate with any child over the age of eight weeks. Male or female.

    Heh! Wendy, I’m pretty sure it’s the growth hormones in the goat feed causing all the early maturation.

    I’ll be honest. When the first ad popped up above your post for “Quality Jihabs,” I bit. Then, I went back to the Google Reader to open a new look at it. The ad on top is for HCC diet drops. http://www.eastessence.com/index.php?gclid=CNi4g9PAh6ECFSd75Qodun3LOw

    You haven’t been eating goats, have you?

  4. When you hear about young girls dying from internal bleeding caused by intercourse with their adult husbands, then there is little doubt why a culture which sexualizes children would put them in hijabs. Mohammad was a pig, and so is any man who has sex with an under age girl.

    Correct ME if I am wrong, but per the Hadith…the shining example of Muhammed, that is…weren’t 6-year olds ALREADY considered “marriageable” in the Religion of Reese’s Pieces?

    I beleive by Muhammad’s standards, marriage is good to go if you’re at least 6 years old. A mature 6 of course. But you can’t consummate the union until at least puberty hits. But really, who waits?

  7. Listened to the insomnia edition of the radio show. Something else that Islam considers perfectly acceptable is rape as an interrogation technique. kill a virgin, women prisoners sentenced to death are first wed to (read: raped by) a prison guard. Afterward, he goes to the family of the woman ad declares himself to be their son-in-law.

    Say it ain’t so ClassicalLib. Truly barbaric.

    I lived in the Middle East for five years and you are right Wendy. Only post-pubescent girls would wear a head covering and then only if they choose to do so. There is no requirement in the Koran to cover the hair – only to be modest. A full hijab (full cover)was only worn in the areas I lived if something revealing and sexy was worn underneath (and sometimes not even then).

    I’ll agree with Larry, I didn’t live in the Middle East, but in Brooklyn, (which in some sectors is quite similar) and I can remember the little girls running around pretty much free, and then one day…scarf and endless chores. I think it also has to do with whatever strain of the mad belief they adhere to.

    I do know, that underneath it all, can be a different story. I got a glimpse under the big top a couple of times :-)

    Maybe they’re just trying to provoke people who engage in moral exhibitionism.
