I never said child marriage was fundamental to Islam, or that most practicing Muslims support it, or whatever other things you want to pretend I said to make your argument sound better.  I will rephrase what I said, so that you can't replace it for other things.  There is scriptural support for child marriage in Islam if one wants to find it. [/quote]

I think your position has evolved a bit more than you are suggesting, but I agree that there is "support for child marriage in Islam if one wants to find it" (I'd avoid the use of the term "scriptural" in this context). [b]The same could be said about Christianity. [/b]In both religions, it is also possible to find a basis for other interpretations.

What? Where? The fact that some Christians might have married child brides in 100 AD is different from saying the founder of the faith married a child bride. Even if you think Jesus married Mary Magdalen, she wasn't a child. In two faiths where believers are supposed to model themselves on the founders, this is an important difference.[/quote]
