"Ten-year-old girls are ready for marriage, according to Saudi Arabia's most senior cleric.
Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al Sheikh, the country's grand mufti, told Al Hayat newspaper that those saying ten or 12-year-old girls are too young to marry are being 'unfair' to them." Daily Mail

Here's another instance of the seemingly overwhelming evidence that the world would be a better place if a great many of its clerics were to be exiled to some distant island and left there to rot. It's not enough that we have a Pope who believes in purging the world of homosexual men and women, we have a senior Muslim cleric who believes in taking away the childhood of young girls and forcing them into marriage at the age of ten. Civilised people call this statutory rape. Is it not obvious that the world would be a kinder, more reasonable, happier place if we set aside the religions that have so long disfigured it?
