If that were the case you'd expect a much smaller incidence in countries where Islam is not dominant, wouldn't you? Why is that not the case?Śiva wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 1:50 pmWho says child abuse is an exclusively Muslim problem?

Also noteworthy:Islamic countries, are they?With regards to females, seven countries reported prevalence rates [of child sexual abuse] as being more than one fifth i.e., 37.8% in Australia, 32.2% in Costa Rica, 31% in Tanzania, 30.7% in Israel, 28.1% in Sweden, 25.3% in the US, and 24.2% in Switzerland
And fuck off with the "defenders of Islam" shit already. Speaking for myself, I am no apologist for any religion, least of all Islam.
Now have a look at Turkey. An estimated 99.8% of its population is Muslim. In 2016 its President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, proposed a Bill that would pardon men convicted of sex with underage girls if they have married them. Thousands of Muslims have taken to the streets of Istanbul and other cities in Turkey in protest against the Bill. Erdogan's party has enough seats in parliament to easily enact any Bill as law, but the popular outrage by Muslims was strong enough for this onel to be canned. Do you want to blame Islam for that result too?
From the wiki: Child sexual abuse is widespread in Pakistani Islamic schools.[45] In a study of child sexual abuse in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, out of a sample of 300 children 17% claimed to have been abused and in 1997 one child a day was reported as raped, gang raped or kidnapped for sexual gratification
Perhaps it's a Pakistani-Islamic confluence that produces child rapists in abundance, perhaps it's something in the water, but the facts on the ground are what they are and the place of origin of these perpetrators (with its culture and religion) is not irrelevant.
