I recently had a conversation with an ex-Muslim Iranian who was discussing Islam and paedophilia. I was particularly concerned about his claims regarding the practice of �thighing� and an alleged Fatwa by the Ayatollah Khomeini. I found this on Wikipedia. (I know this is not 100% reliable) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_children Khomeini's view "A man can marry a girl younger
than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A
man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than
nine, while other sexual acts such as foreplay, rubbing, and kissing are
allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age
has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not
permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must
provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man's
four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl's sister." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_children#_note-26" title=" - - [35] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khomeini" title="Khomeini - "Thighing is a means for an adult
male to enjoy a young girl who is still in the age of weaning; meaning to place
his penis between her thighs, and to kiss her." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_children#_note-28" title=" - I can�t believe this is true. Is it? |

I think its common sense, konami follows shia Islam, different from the main stream. |

Khomeini does not represent orthodox Islamic views. The Shia account for less than 10% of the Islamic world. It is interesting that he says that a man can marry a baby which is being breastfed, and yet the Prophet (pbuh) said that a marriage can only be performed between two consenting individuals. Furthermore, the girl to be wed must have the choice in choosing the man she wants to marry. She cannot be forced. How can a baby which is still being breastfed consent to a marriage? How can her consent be confirmed? The answer is that she cannot. Therefore, Khomeini's claims stand refuted. Muslims follow Allah (swt) and His Messenger, not Ayatollah Khomeini. ------------- Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds.

Thank you islamispeace. I�d like to assure you that I did not believe for one moment that such
practices were sanctioned by mainstream Islamic view. |

http://www.insight-info.com/forum - ayatollah khomeini never promoted child abuse. but to judge based on his belief in shia islam is bias. and shows that all who answered "probably" he believed in unorthodox islam were not hardly aware of what he believed. sometimes it's better to read from his own words his own views. then to judge. allah is the best of judges. none of us. ------------- www.insight-info.com/forum/default |

Brother/Sister Sulooni, Instead of making statements with the intention of promoting your website (congratulations by the way!), can you actually demonstrate that Khomeini never said such a thing. This is what Rezz asked, and so far no one has proved the statements to be false. I have not studied Khomeini's teachings, so I cannot comment. What I did make clear was that if Khomeini did say such things, he is easily refuted by orthodox Islamic views. ------------- Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds.

Bi ismillahi rahmani raheem In islam the obligation is upon the accuser to prove his case, Under islamic law calumny and slander are punishable....the case of Abu bakrah comes to mind. ------------- Rasul Allah (sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Whoever knows himself, knows his Lord" and whoever knows his Lord has been given His gnosis and nearness. |

I never trust wikipedia. It can be edited for anyone. Recently the CIA and other government organizations had to admit that they regularly edit their own articles to remove less than desireable content. Its why the Palestine/Israel articles get locked down regularly. What you would have to do is find the actual fatwa from an Iranian governmental or official religious website. Otherwise, its just something somebody made up. |

several points to state: the source of the information is not safe as a Muslim I dont believe that a Muslim leader can put such a statement if it is true-I don't think it is however- then I dont believe in the leadership of that person who -I dont know how -derived - if not put forward from his own mind-such an unbelievable idea from the basic source of Islam the Quran and from the Hadith of our prophet. So please dont get mixed up with these things, you may encounter many of them during your hard journey, they may simulate the stingy bushes put on the way of the prophet while he is turning home but please push them away. I have an objection for the definitions orthodox an unorthodox. These phrases exported from Christianity are not suitable for Islam. There is only one Allah and one Islam so we shall ask ourselves if we are to drop into the trap of devil while we are classifying the religion as this and that and dividing the believers into two. Whatever is wrong according to Islam is wrong- no matter an Iranian or a Palestinian or a Turk says this. And whatever is right is right. We already have many difficulties as Muslims so let us please be careful while regarding and referring to ourselves, since we have to be together against many problems the Muslim world. Thank you all for your sensibility. Allah knows best. |

If Khomeini never said such a thing, then perhaps someone should change that article on wikipedia... Brother Rami is right, wikipedia is the "idiot's encyclopedia".

http://www.insight-info.com/forum/ - wikipedia is a zionist / jewish run organization and i have experienced it many times - if you put an article about something islamic on that website, it will most likely get deleted or edited to the point where you don't have any idea what you wrote. the best thing to do is to seek knowledge fromt he cradle to the grave and read. unorthodox / orthodox is a derivative of christian theology; and these labels have been used to depict islam, but it is not true, especially as in arabic these terms are not used. these are terms coined by the enemies of islam in a effort to "divide and conquer" because many muslims for various reasons seem to often fall into these traps. remember that islam is "la ilaha ilalah, muhammada rasullulah". and a muslim is one who believes and bear witnesses to this. ------------- www.insight-info.com/forum/default |

Wow, is everyone a zionist/jewish organization to you... I'm a zionist...however I believe Zion will be built in the New World, not the old. You're really starting to come off paranoid. Just an observation. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. So if someones deleting your posts...find out why. I've seen them lock down the Palestine article to prevent it from being defaced. If you have an issue with a statement, edit it. Just make sure you cite your sources. And do you always have to link your entire post to your site???? |

http://www.insight-info.com - here's some homework for you: 1-research the owners of wikipedia, send them an email asking about their political views. 2-understand what zionism means clearly. and what they are supporting 3-paronia is a relative term...research why 4-yes i like to link the post to my site. u won't be allowed to join unless u finish ur homework later. ------------- www.insight-info.com/forum/default |
