I suggest that lumping an entire section of the population together and bundling them up with the abhorrent behaviour of a minority is illogical and unfair.
I would advance the same argument if anyone decided all Catholics must be evil because of acknowledged child abuse by a minority of its priests.
I admit to having little knowledge of Islam but it is my understanding that Imams are not appointed by any higher authority that dictates interpretation for all the believers of Islam, but they are chosen as a knowledgeable individual by those in the local area.
If so, then of course interpretation varies wildly. It is no way to manage anything, and certainly not a religion.
An extremist area will select an extremist Imam and then be taught extremism as being "right" to both adults and their impressionable children.
It seems an invitation to chaos, and a recipe for all to get tarred for the actions of some. The whole concept needs a reformation.
Mozz. It's not picking and choosing. You're comparing a 14 year old - who as legend would have it - was not impregnated in the usual manner - to a 9 year old who was married to a 50 plus year old man. At the very least there's an enormous difference between a girl of 9 and a girl of 14 which you don't appear to acknowledge so I don't see your point at all. It certainly doesn't negate justified criticism of Mohammed.
