I don't get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

The next time someone makes fun of shithole countries remind them that hundreds of 12yo are married in the US every year. And I guess their little bodies are ready for motherhood because many of them produce a baby in 4 or 6 mo after the wedding.

Wow, they are just precocious in every way, aren’t they?

The usual shit that islamophobes would say is that 'at least they aren't 9' even if many Islamic countries ban that shit and large age gaps in marriage (Egypt is one example) and many children marriages that do happen are between children. As in, an 11 year old girl is betrothed to a 14 year old boy (still not cool though). They also ignore that in many cases a man who does marry a little kid is often socially ostracized and treated like shit for doing that.

Western Chauvinism and Islamophobia have red-pilled so many promising minds into the intellectual sewer of bigotry.

And you can thank Zionists for being their main sponsors.

Yeah, I like listening to Sam Harris but goddamn does he rant against Islam a lot. I skip through a lot of his Israel takes, as he apparently thinks all Palestinians are Hamas.

How can anyone still take the New Atheist movement seriously after October 7?

Have they? Islam isn't exactly pure and innocent in its own, though. Some of its reputation is rightfully earned through oppression and violence.

The biggest red piller is Muslim....
