Do you feel the same way about the Catholic church too?

The catholic church do not preach that it is ok to marry or go with young children. The fact that some of the priests are involved in this is disgusting.

I have yet to hear of an Islamic preacher say it's ok either. Not that I go to Mosque so naturally I wouldn't have a clue what they preach...
Im not in anway condoning what SOME people do because their religion (or their warped perception of it) told them it's ok. I am merely pointing out that people are ready to condemn an entire religion because of the acts of a few wayward preachers whilst defending another institution (whilst condeming the individuals and saying they don't represent the religion as a whole) that is fundamentalty doing the same thing.
Plenty of footage on what is preached at some mosques. Am i wrong to say that it is acceptable to marry a girl under a certain age, and to have full sex, that woman are second class citizens and get stoned and beaten, that FMG is common practice.......do these values apply in the Catholic religion.

In Africa, on checking FGM information, it would certainly appear so, but I believe you know that its a cultural issue rather than a religion issue.
for example
The prevalence varies with religion in Nigeria; FGM is prevalent in 31% of Catholics, 27% of Protestant and 7% of Muslim women

Im guessing you accept the FGM fact in a round about sort of way haha..
Marrying under age girls and sex with under age girls? What do you think? Its hardly unheard of in the west, I would imagine the chances in other poorer continents is pretty high..
Beheading and stoning ...going for the theatrical? So your beef is methods of execution really?

There's a huge difference between a preacher saying something and a religion condoning something. There are plenty of cases of Christian preachers preaching homophobia, intolerance and even death but I would never claim that ALL Christians think this way. If you can find a direct quote from the Quran condoning child grooming I'll concede the point.
I think you'll find woman are indeed seen as second class citizens in the eyes of many traditionalist within Catholic Church. Just because they don't stone women to death anymore doesn't mean that it's suddenly a progressive, pro-women religion.
Why would I accept FGM in any sort of way, your words not my thoughts, not funny really. How many young girls from this country are sent abroad to be mutilated in the summer holidays.

Oh come on, stop being ridiculous. As you know, I meant you have to accept FGM is a cultural issue, and not a religious issue. It is a fact.
I dont know how many young girls from this country are sent abroad to be mutilated Soulman, tell me?
Correct. They don't stone women anymore or behead. A bit more civilised and "progressive" than some eh.

But they're still not a shining beacon of equality. A lesser of two evils is still an evil.
Yep but a world of difference between treating women/ girls like second class citizens and stoning, beheading etc imo. I would say the lesser is an awful long way short of the greater evil.
On the way to B'muff, maybe you could try and look up the info, there are figures for it.

Safe trip. Its ok, ill wait till you get back.
Ok thanks. I do know that there was a programme on our channels about young girls being sent abroad in the hols. It ran into the thousands I believe, but the full extent was unknown.
