Those are 70% of marriages involving a foreign spouse Herve. How many Muslim marriages in the UK involve foreign spouses compared to UK spouses? You would have to know that to assess numbers.
What do you mean it leaves up to 30% for arranged marriages? Did I miss that somewhere in the article?
And where did you get the part about underage girls? I didn't see that in the article either.
"A group of British Muslim barristers and judges have come up with a proposal to help address the problem of forced marriage, a common practice seen as going against the very essence of Islam."
So you have British Muslim barristers and judges who are trying to solve the problem, and they feel that forced marriage goes against the very essence of Islam. (Hasn't Shaf already said that too?) So if all Muslims are evil and support terrible practices such as forced marriage, why are these influential UK Muslims opposed to it? Is it a bad thing that they aim to stop the practice?
You are trying to crap on Muslims again, and oddly enough using an article that shows that Muslims admit there is a problem and they are trying to fix it. Nice work Herve!
By law, in the West, a 16 y old girl is under age, so you dont' have to say "underage" it s pretty obvious. of course you dont know the difference because in islam a girl is underage when she doesn't menstruate.
if 70% are forced marriage, it means 30% are not, those still include the arranged marriages. that does not leave much room for "free" marriages.
Of course the article doesn't mention marriages with UK spouses, are there any? and when they are , don't they kill their daughters in "honor"
for the rest of your post, it is , like always, a double language issue:
It is a constant with moslems, they say something, but do the exact opposite. Trust me, don't take the words of a moslem for granted.
examples of double language:
forced marriage against islam, may be , but irrelevant, moslems do it anyways with a crushing majority
honor killings, moslems oppose it, but moslems do it with a crushing majority. Judges and barrister try to fix it? how? it does not work. why don't they try immediate deportation of the parents, that would work.
suicide bombing, the quran forbides suicide, but moslems fail to mention, on purpose, that it is not suicide, it is martyrdome which is allowed.
Marriage between cousins, moslems admit it is a problem, so what, they do it anyways with a crushing majority.
moslems say they don't support killing "innocents", may be, they only fail (on purpose) to mention that "WE" are not in the "innocent" category, all unbeleivers are guilty for not accepting islam.
So it is not relevant whether moslems admit there is a problem or not and try to fix it. It is just talk NEVER followed in actions, lies and deceit. Facts show they don't do what they say, and accuse you of islamophobia when you say what they do.
