The question has crossed my mind several times – in fact every time
there is a report of sexual child abuse in the local media, and the
subsequent comments when it is posted on this blog and CAWM group wall
on Facebook.
The accusation is that it is Islam that promotes sexual child abuse
and that it is inspired by Prophet Muhammadh S.A.W’s marriage to Aisha
R.A.
The Islam that I know and believe in does not promote sexual child
abuse or the abuse of any human being inlcluding women. It is a religion
of respect and dignity. Our Prophet is an icon of tolerance and all
human qualities that we hear about in the civilized world.
It is sad that some “uneducated” and “uncivilized” minds who have
come to portray Islam as unfit for civilized human existence. It is the
likes of our magistrates and religous clerics who take a simplistic and
pure literal meaning of certain arabic literature to show that children
are good for giving away in marriage.
A very classic example of the arrogance of certain “uncivilized”
Islamic clerics is what one Sheikh said on national TV recently. He is
reported to have said that there is no specific punishment in Islamic
Sharia for homosexuality. He made this remark in a discussion relating
to the paedophile who had sexually abused over 35 underage boys!
It is the cleric’s lack of a proper breadth of understanding in Islam
that he could not see the obvious, in the teaching of Islam; and not a
wrong with Islam itself!
