A shameful sentence! (N.d.R.)
EU Court: we must distinguish between marriage with a child and pedophilia
Of Magdi Allam
Dear friends, for the “European Court of Human Rights”, in fact the supreme authority of the judiciary in Europe, it is a crime to call Muhammad a pedophile. Not because the incontrovertible fact that in the 620, at the age of 50 years, he married a six-year-old girl, Aisha, even though the marriage was consummated for three years, In the 623, when the little girl was nine years old. But why, explains the sentence, Muhammad and Aisha remained married until his death in 632, that is, for nine years, when Aisha had 18 years. So, according to the European Court, it can be said that Muhammad married a little girl but not that he was a pedophile because "a pedophile is someone who is attracted only or mainly to minors". In short, since Aisha was Muhammad's only child wife, while his others 14 wives were adults, and Muhammad having been her husband until her death, the sexual orientation of the pedophile cannot be attributed to Muhammad. In conclusion for the European Court if an adult man marries a little girl only once and she remains his wife until his death, he does not qualify as a pedophile.
Based on this argument, the European Court ruled against an expert on Islamic issues, the Austrian Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, who had lodged an appeal after being convicted in Austria in 2011 for "incitement to hatred" and "outraging the religious symbols of a recognized religious community". The European Court agreed with the ruling of the Austrian judiciary, according to which we must distinguish between marriage with a child and pedophilia. The European Court also endorsed the reasoning of the Austrian judiciary on the need to prevent the violent reaction of Islamists, I support the "legitimate aim of preventing disorder by safeguarding religious peace and respecting religious sentiment".
