Several Islamic groups have also condemned the program in a joint statement, fearing it will favor “hypersexualization” of children.
Aren’t these the same people that think marrying girls at 10 years of age is fine?
in the same way that everyone on the internet is an incel.
I say this as a person without a religious bone in my body — it’s very easy when slinging around /r/atheism levels of schoolboy humor to cross into xenophobia and racism.
What, practically, is the difference between, “all Muslims are pedophiles?” and "all Jews are pedophiles?’
The latter seems like something from Lauren Bobert/MTG/Palin/Alex Jones/Tucker Carlson. So why is the former acceptable?
It honestly makes me uneasy being on Lemmy seeing the frequency of which people are quick to jump to their Islamaphobic pitchforks. Weren’t we meant to be smarter than Reddit? Is it really that enlightened to suggest because someone comes from a culture they are child abusers?
What do you mean “islamophobic pitforks”? These were Islamic groups that were involved. That it’s accepted in Islamic culture to wed off a girl as soon as she bleeds is no more “islamophobic” that saying the sun can give you cancer. Not everybody will hand over their daughter to be wed as soon as she bleeds, no more than the sun will give you cancer as soon as you step into it.
Point the hypocrisy out between “she bleeds, she may be wed” and “sexual education is hypersexualisation” is not “islamophobic”.You’re just looking to have the moral highground. “see guys, I told that dude he’s an islamophobe, where are my upvotes?”
Also, not everything is globally recognized as pedophilia. Just because in your Western (American?) brain it has been taught so, doesn’t mean that it is so to everybody.
Wtf Belgium, you’re not the United States. Chill out.
Classic peaceful religions
