Germany: The Long Reach of Muhammad's Actions
The following excerpt comes from an article in Opinion Journal, the Wall Street Journal's opinion page. The article should be read on its own merits, but one paragraph caught my attention:
The Turkish community is not the only party at fault, however. Until last year, few Turks, including those whose families had lived in Germany for generations, could obtain German citizenship. Successive German governments compensated for their refusal to facilitate citizenship procedures by allowing the Turkish community to do more or less as it pleased. Thus the 11-year-old bride: With a parent's consent, Turkish law will allow even a 9-year-old girl to marry. Had German law applied, the age threshold would have been 16.
Turkish law allows a 9-year-old girl to become a bride, of course, because Islam's prophet Muhammad consumated his marriage with his 9-year-old bride, Aisha. This is yet another example of the long reach of Muhammad's actions; Jihad against the unbelievers and the eventual fate of Dhimmitude when victory over them is achieved are other legacies of Muhammad's life.
