It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that ol' Smacky procured her in Argentina and then sent her back to continue his mission.

WOW!I had a very interesting (and somewhat unsettling) experience Friday night. Every Friday I go around to a Muslim friend of mine to watch rugby and drink some kava (Fijian root crop that sort of dopes you out) and we have a good talk about the issues of the day. He is a pretty relaxed Muslim, observes Ramadan but doesn't pray 5 times a day, and shouldn't be drinking kava as it runs against the principles of the Koran. We don't tend to discuss religion, it's a topic we skirt around after the Charlie Hebdo incident (the journalists 'got what they deserved' according to him) and our friendship works just fine that way.
Anyhoo this past Friday he had a other friend there, an older guy who has been living in NZ for a couple of decades. Still works as a security guard, nice guy and someone you would say is well integrated into NZ society. As the night wears on and the kava takes it effect we all relax a little bit more, other people arrive and the room is full of chatter. I'm not sure how we get on to the topic, but I respectfully ask him if its true that Muhammad married a nine year old girl. Yes it is he says without any issues. well I'm thinking, Muhammad did exist many centuries ago and times were different. So I ask him, what does he make of child brides within Islam in today's society, and this is where I became deeply unsettled. Also no problem he says, a young girl 11, 12, 13 (he was quite specific here) can get married within their religion and 'mature' into it. As soon a girl menstruates she is ready for marriage. Honestly it made me feel a little sick and i still feel sick just thinking about it 2 days later. I didn't bother to argue against him here, I was merely interested in asking some questions and sitting back and hearing how someone within Islam justifies this practice in their own mind. To be honest I don't think I was expecting him to be so forthright. There was even an insinuation that this practice of marrying young girls is covertly taking place within NZ. You do hear about in the rumor mill but to actually have it confirmed was staggering.
Luckily we didn't get around to homosexuals but I shudder to think what he would've had to sat about that.
Now I know some of you will say what about nonces who are non-Muslim? What about the Catholic Church? Wel,sure, maybe if I'd been sitting next to a vicar that night I might've asked about the paedophilia problem within the church but I wasn't, I was sitting next to a Muslim and I had the opportunity to ask so I did. I also understand that this man's beliefs are not representative of all Muslims, certainly my friend who has a daughter would never countenance the idea of his daughter getting married at 13, yet I also find myself asking the question, 'does he know about these things? And if he does does he raise his concerns over it?'
It was an eye opening conversation to say the least and while I bear no ill will towards the gentleman (he even gave me a ride home, LOL) I'm not sure how I would feel sitting next to him again in another social setting and spending time with him now that i've had the opportunity to properly digest the contents of that chat.

Get out of jail free card for the 'left': say something absolutely revolting on every conceivable level and receive pushback for it, so go and find evidence of those people saying 'racist' things (because that's so much worse than what you said), which immediately absolves you of any blame because only neo-nazis could have a problem with the hilarious 'joke' you made.
Imagine living in a society where over six thousand people 'like' a comment you made about tricking people into having abortions because of their skin colour and political views. Completely demented.
Kanye west says anything for a bit of publicity. We've seen it all before, he says something 'controversial' (when he's got an album, new fashion line etc coming out) & then a few weeks later says he has a mental health problem/was drunk/on meds etc and he gets away with it.
Morrissey says something deemed controversial and it's like the world is coming to an end.
People may agree or disagree with some of the comments Morrissey has said about Free Speech but you have to give him some credit for going against the 'popular, safe opinions' of the 'look at me' crowd. It's opened things up for debate. Through his music and comments now and in the past he has shone a light on issues some people find uncomfortable to talk about.
I'm only surprised that you're surprised. The comments around here from certain usual suspects repeatedly saying inane and naive things like "racists!!!" Or "i play football with my muslim mates and they're alright", are all equally missing the point as well. One of my best friends was muslim (obviously he still is; i said 'was' because I'm referring to a close friend i had when i was living on an entirely different continent to where i am now) and he would go to mosque every friday, and THEN he would come meet us in the pub.I had a very interesting (and somewhat unsettling) experience Friday night.

Did that ever - "that" being his presence there in a bar with us all - make me think even for ONE single solitary second that he was somehow NOT a full believer, in all of the doctrines that the muslim ideology espouses? No, it didn't.
This thread and this conversation will go nowhere, just like all threads and all conversations on this site never do.
I just dont really understand why so many people, across the board, have this idea that islam comes in so many different various guises, and layers. It does not. Yes, not everyone is a terrorist, or a suicide bomber.
But please, let's be real. The tenets of the ideology are not a secret, and when people refer to "extremists" they're certainly not defining some new version of islam, suddenly deemed "extremist" just in order to try to suddenly assuage the fears, of the suddenly affronted. In the West, of course.
Islam is an ideology, and its tenets are crystal clear. Anyone who doesn't like the more medieval "indicators" should understand that there is no "modern" interpretation of this ideology at all.
It's interesting, some detractors on this site will say that Morrissey is 'all about the money' and that this is his sole motivation, yet the stance he has taken has definitely affected him in the pocket book. rightly or wrongly though he's not backing down and I admire that.

But we are Russian to find a solution to that, and many other big issues.Mmm, Europe isn't a country. Millions of people all uneducated? If you bomb countries to pieces millions of people will move out of them.
We're talking of rapists again? Look at this filthy Muslamicgroomer... oh wait

On the plus side in the US has taken to sorting immigration out by child snatching and sticking them behind bars. Be proud.
People in the media industrial complex and the military industrial complex are showing their true colours. The "progressives" have aligned themselves with the neo-cons.
Again, it's not about politics. For these bad people, it's about money and power. The progressives have been duped by the neo-cons in to wanting war. For Trump, it's not about politics; it's about peace.

Idiot.
Dupe.
