Saudi Arabian girl, 8, seeks divorce

The girl, who still does not know she is married, lives with her parents in the town of Unayzah, 135 miles north of the capital Riyadh. The marriage had been arranged in secret by her father.

She is preparing to start the new year at primary school in the town, which is located in the conservative Najd region of the country - the spiritual homeland of the Islamist Wahhabi movement that has long dominated the kingdom.

According to the Arabic-language newspaper Al-Watan, which reported the case, the divorce suit has been filed by the girl's mother.

However, the husband has refused, saying he has done nothing wrong.

Well, if you want, here's a Muslim link that, with a long, convoluted series of Qur'an and Hadith references, and different interpretations, waffles its' way around the subject of what America calls pedophilia.

When you read about the Muzzies' heathen "prophet" you quickly see that he was sort of an ancient Warren Jeffs. He made up a phony "religion" solely to guarantee himself young stuff and plenty of it. And it's still working like a charm today.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
