A massive, well known bigot calling someone else a bigot...what's wrong with that picture?
What's your point BTW (seems like nothing, as usual) ? You blab so much I really don;t understand your point, except for the fact that you originally posted here to bring up Haredim, in order to get your 'trashing Jews' fix....
One thing is for sure, if this thread was about Jews marrying children, wow !! I could only imagine the things you would post !
There are plenty of cases where Jews and Jewish religious authorities marry children. I am not posting it because it has nothing to do with Coyotes exposure of a hoax that began when the Israeli press (and including Ha'aretz, who later retracted) published it as a fact without checking their facts and was later spread by primarily Jewish blogs and then European mainstream press and, later, the American presses.
However, if it salves your little ego and helps to unruffle you smarmy little feathers, why don't we just claim that it all started by midget albino hunchbacks from Pocatello Idaho and no circumcised individuals were involved at all in this hoax.
Now, buzz off. You have exceeded your inconsequential boring statements for the evening, particularly those of the "I know who you are!!! I know what you did!!!" Take it to e-mail where I can just open it and not read it.
Judaism permit child betrothals, but child marriage was abolished long ago.
The bride must be old enough to consent to the marriage even though betrothed since childhood. Theoretically a girl is not eligible to wed till at least three years after she begin her cycle. People who don't understand how to read the talmud think it is permitting a child to be married at three. It is referring to the years after becoming a woman as a limitation.
November, 2013 was two months ago.
"The proposal to raise the marriage age was first mooted in 2004, by the National Council for the Child. Since then, a number of MKs, including Zuabi, have tried to promote the amendment, but under pressure from the ultra-Orthodox the cabinet has repeatedly decided not to support it.
A study carried out by ACRI indicated that for years the state did not even enforce the law to prevent minors under 17 from marrying: In 2004, no criminal cases were opened for underage marriage, even though the practice is widespread in certain communities in Israel. Only four such cases were investigated in 2003."

This pretty much confirms what Coyote said, albeit in circumtuitive way. Child marriages do not occur in European cultures so much Israel is essentially a European state in a Mideastern worldm but the Haredim are, for the most part, remnants from more ancient Jewish world in the Mideast.
This thread is about a hoax meant to discredit Muslims. When I first read it, I nknew it was a hoax. As I said, the enemies of America could make hay about the incestuous courtships between fathers and their daughters at the familial orgiastic bacchanalia (sure, someone sneaks a nip or two) known to us as Father Daughter Dances.
A good example of how these hateful and bigoted stories propagate is by word of mouth. My God, I just read yesterday about a Lebanese baby who had joined Hizballah (before y'all jump on Sunn Man, Hizballah is Shia) which is preposturous and, dare I say it, I bet if we trace this hoax back to a source, Jews, Evangelicals, or Israelis are involved in distorting what really happened. Some people just seem to allow their hatred distort their reality.
