As the days go by our hard won freedoms and liberty are slowly being eroded. In Europe a crushing blow has been made to freedom of speech with a European Court of Human Rights upholding a conviction for saying that the person known as Muhammad ten centuries ago was technically a paedophile based on information in historical texts. The statement was made in reference to Muhammad's marriage to a six year old child name called Aisha. The court found that “Presenting objects of religious worship in a provocative way capable of hurting the feelings of the followers of that religion could be conceived as a malicious violation of the spirit of tolerance, which was one of the bases of a democratic society.”. In giving its ruling that "Muhammad was not a worthy subject of worship" the court has additionally demonstrated a complete misunderstanding as to the religion involved which worships "Allah", a word meaning 'God', not 'Muhammad' who claimed to be a prophet of this god. Freedom of speech is dying.

    So paedophile is OK if speaking against it would hurt paedophile-follower feelings then? Because screwing a six year old is just fine, right?

    To be fair, he married her at six, but didn't bone her til she was nine. Still, no matter how you look at it, she was not sexually mature when he started fucking her. The child lay there, wondering "WTF is this all about, anyway?" And he did not give the smallest damn whether he caused any discomfort, or even injured her. His own dick took paramount importance.

      And that's if you discount "thighing". Look it up. But be prepared to be disgusted by what men of that religion have done to young girls.

        They will use infants in the same manner. If it has a pulse, it's good enough to use.

            Sows, mostly, for Runaway. What were we talking about, again?
