Did Prince Charles completely go bonkers?

[Louis VI the Fat]

paedophilia is a modern concept, in those days, if a female bleeds, she is a woman, not a child.

I would assume that even back then it would've been exceedingly rare for a six or nine year old girl to mentruate.

But bleed, that I'm quite sure they did. That's what happens when grown up brutes force themselves onto (into) nine year olds. Maybe Mohammed was very underendowed, and his insecurity about this led him to rape nine year olds and write violent fantasies about subjugating other peoples.

Moderator NOTE: While Mohamed's marriage to a girl who was very much underage by modern standards is a historical fact, characterizing it as rape takes a harsh tone and is a charaterization with which many followers of Islam (and some others) might disagree. By our modern ethical and legal standards, informed consent is simply impossible at 6, or 9 or whatever, and it would indeed be labeled as a "rape." Sadly, Louis is all to correct as to the physical damage possible from mature male/immature female pairings.

To ALL: be careful with this, remember that more than just a few of us read this, regardless of how many respond in a given thread.

I believe he didn't have sex with the 6 year old, he only married her then. Akin to the European Kings between cousins, sisters, daughters, etc. It depends if we are going to call a bunch of people paedophiles or just realise it is a product of its times, rather then lamblast muslims over it.

I mean, there are lots of things you could object to in the Koran on a ideological or moral settings, but to point something out which is obviously a product of a time, just to insult them? It really shows immaturity, if that is the most "evil" or "objectionable" thing in the Koran.

but to point something out which is obviously a product of a time

But they do claim to believe in absolute morality, so they can't dismiss things as being appropriate in certain times/culture etc...

The Daily Mail? That's donkey feces of the highest order, comparable to our Telegraaf.

[Subotan]

The Sun and Sexpress are worse.

Anyhoo, the three most terrifying words in the British vocabulary are King Charles III.

Do you have any specific criticism of the story or how it was reported? Factual errors, misquotes, or editorial bias, perhaps?


Anyway, I wouldn't get to worked up Frag. He isn't saying that Britons should live like Muslims, but that Muslims should go green - which is excruciatingly nauseating in its own right.

It is bias advocation towards islamophobia. Taking the comments out of context, and slapping "Follow the Islamic way!" as the title which is a distortion of the truth compared to the point that was actually being made. It's aim is to fire at the core readership, typically made up of intolerant, ignorant and psuedo-fascist who seem to get a kick about screaming and ranting on something banal as this matter.

As Hax said, it is typical of the Murdoch branded steam rolls which ruins good journalism.

The islamphilia of the British is absolutely something to get worked up about.

When you put it that way, it's hard to disagree...

Wow, I thought the British had some quality newspapers...

[Fragony]

Compared to what goes for quality here they really do

[Subotan]

We do. The Guardian, Times, Telegraph (When it's not pretending to be the Daily Fail), Financial Times, Economist (Although that's really just a magazine) and to a lesser extent the Independent are all quality papers. However, there are a lot of rags as well, such as the previously mentioned Daily Mail and Daily Express (Tabloids for the middle class) and the Sun, Daily Star and Mirror are all very low-brow. The key thing about British papers is that they are fiercely partisan, almost to the extent of news channels in the USA, and apart from the Guardian, Mirror and (officially) the Independent all the papers are quite conservative.
