JayB, were I out to meet you I would think a Burqa was too skimpy to wear :)

Calwest...I'm sorry, I was bored and forgot what it was you keep rabbiting on about.

Is Mise, no, I don't condone illegal practices from anyone. Do you?

Thanks for that response Toni, it saves me repeating myself over and over to paranoid questions asked over and over... sigh...

We have laws against all the nasty practices mentioned above, and we already have home-grown paedophiles etc in Australia, of which the vast majority I have seen on the media or read about are old white males.
Hasn't everyone read about the charming old Aussie rock spiders who visit Thailand and the Philippines on a regular basis to get easier access to kids? Nasty.

//Feel better now, Toni?//

You tories always seem to get your frilly panties in a bunch when people evade your rhetorical questions. Why won't you answer some of mine?

' Are you referring to the practice, hopefully not in Australia, of overnight 'marriages' ? Since men can have four 'wives', if a bloke has 'only' three, in some parts, he can 'marry' a woman, presumably by paying an imam, and then divorce her in the morning, presumably after also paying an imam. Quite an earner, one would think. '

I had a friend who was silly enough to marry a muslim only to find out later he had wives in other countries. She was getting past the flower of her youth so unfortunately was feeling a bit desperate. What I was referring to was that the old men are never stupid enough to be the suicide bombers. It is the young who are promised the virgins while the older men help themselves here on earth.

Foxy, "Many states in the USA permit child marriages"

Overwhelmingly immigrants you might have added.

Add liberal(leftist) judges and their 'Progressivism' and the young girls don't have much of a chance do they?

Huge mob attacked at least 35 women at train station
http://speisa.com/modules/articles/index.php/item.2339/huge-mob-attacked-at-least-35-women-at-train-station.html

Report from Cologne, up to 100 "Flüchtlinge" formed two lines on the concourse of the station to rob and sexually assault female passers by, funny, they do that sort of thing outside the Casino in Melbourne and nobody says anything, I just thought sexual abuse of women was acceptable to Refugee Advocates.

G'day Toni,
Underage marriage is another instance of muslim contempt for our laws and social standards. You may recall the instance of a convert to Islam marrying off his 12 year old daughter to a 26 year old male. At the time a Dr.Eman Sharobeen, who runs the Immigrant Womens Health Service in Fairfield, Sydney told the press that she knew of 60 underage marriages that occurred in the past 3 years. That being correct, underage marriage is far more common than people realize. I think she also said she could find 100 underage marriages at any given time.

On the subject of FGM, No FGM OZ has done extensive research and estimates that 1100 girls in Australia are 'at risk' each year. An 'at risk' girl is one that has a mother that herself has been subject to FGM. Medicos are supposed to report FGM but it is not enforced.

The problem is that although we have laws against both the above the laws are not enforced. I once asked the NSW Health Minister why there were no prosecutions and her reply was "there are cultural considerations"

The laws should apply equally to all people.

By the way there is a vast difference between FGM and male circumcision. FGM involves removal of flesh and organs. Male circumcission only removes some skin and medicos still debate medical benefits of such. FGM is against the law and no Aussie born girl should have to endure it.
