    No. Islam is not one single thing. The majority of those (some of whom don’t want Sex Ed in school) don’t like pedophilia either (I am not saying it is a good thing to not want Sex Ed, I think that’s stupid) __ And before anyone says anything, yes I understand this is part of Islamic history but it doesn’t mean the whole collective of Muslims are “okay” with it, or that these people are those, that would be insane.

    Edit: made my pov clearer

      No, it’s not part of Islamic history, it is part of Islamic theology.

      Most Muslims are Sunni, and within Sunni Islam there are 4 schools of jurisprudence. All four of these schools have deemed it acceptable to marry a girl off as soon as she is born, and hand her over to her rapist when she turns 9 years old or bleeds.

      While most Muslims are anti pedophilia, the Islamic sources and clerics are not. It is a huge problem where I’m from.
