[QUOTE="Archived_Member1, post: 70683, member: 4703"] i really don't want to keep posting in this thread, but i can't seem to stop myself. first of all, which of these things do you see being practiced in the US or any other first world countries? hmm... non, so i'd say that most of these are cultural issues, rather than religious. to address your issues... female genital mutilation is NOT part of islam. it's practiced by christians, muslims, and anamists in certain parts of africa and south asia as a CULTURAL practice. how come islam gets blamed for it when christians do the exact same thing? please site koranic verse if you believe otherwise. not hadith, as not all hadith are accepted by muslims, and some sects don't accept any hadith at all. next, the age of aiesha at marriage is disputed. it is one of the most popular insult to hurl at muslims when trying to make them look bad.
