What the hell is going on in Turkey? A bill proposed to allow child rapists to marry the victim and be pardoned was stopped for now. How on earth did the bill even get that far!

Don't mean it in a bad way neither have I got anything against Muslims. There prophet married a 6 year old and done the dirty when she was 9. Muslims probably take there religion more serious than any other religion, to them Mohammed is a role model they think hees beautiful and perfect. Imo Islam is an outdated religion (like most) . However they still follow there old traditions. Therefore a percentage of Muslims wouldn't see nothing wrong with child marriage because there prophet did it.

Big Al, a question if I may. Genarlow Wilson, a student in the USA, was sentenced to 11 years in jail and life on the sex offenders register because he received oral sex from a 15 year old girl when he was 17. Do you think this punishment was appropriate? I certainly don't.

If you don't either then you have some common ground with the authors of this bill, it was designed to protect consenting and committed youths from being charged with statutory rape.

Rightly, the population of Turkey pointed out that such a bill could be used to protect child molesters and promote the practice of taking child brides and so it was rejected. The intent of the author can be understood and the reactions of the Turkish people can be praised.

Muscatred you worry me with every response mate.
I'd suggest you have a look into Rape cases in Turkey and the age of the men and victims/ children. Your example is an isolated case and you're fully aware is represents a microscopical percentage.

It was not designed to protect consent between youth. Why do you think there was such an outcry to such a bill? Why did erdogan ensure the imprisonment of former Miss Turkey for posting a poem that apparently criticises him? Why did he state women are not equal to women? Man wake up. It's becoming an Islamic state.

You're very clever in your arguments for the opposing side however.
