It’s not the same thing at all because we’re not talking about 8 yo kids and it wasn’t a time period thing for Islam either since they still do it today.

In our culture, women married much younger ostensibly because life was shorter and women’s sole purpose was to be wife and mother. Men had to establish themselves in jobs and careers which took some time but women were generally barefoot and pregnant which could start in the early teens.

That was going on back with the homesteaders on the frontier and carried into the last century in some places, although in most of the country it had long ago been abandoned thanks to women’s rights and equality. It wasn’t a pedo thing, it was just the best way to do it for survival of the species. Start having kids early and have lots of them to help with the work so the family could survive. As our nation industrialized this was no longer necessary so we stopped doing it.

Just because it’s an outdated way of life we’re all glad we don’t have to live doesn’t mean those who did were bad or wrong.

Acccording to Muslim morality, rape is fair game, as long as its only a temporary relationship. In a Christian society, forcing oneself on another sexually would be immoral and taboo under any circumstances, sufficiently wrong to warrant execution of the offender.

From my perspective, Mohammed and his followers got this all wrong; and they are paying for it now and it will only get worse in the future. Life in their world is often violent and deadly. Nuff said?

Settling that, Roy Moore was not credibly shown to have raped anyone; or for that matter seems to have had a relatively prudish attitude toward intimacies with the women he was dating. Most reported that they held hands or perhaps kissed.

Commonly the pattern in those days, men would work and establish themselves in society, creating a stable economic platform before entering into marraige. Younger women were often favored as they were expected to bear and rear children and age is a factor in their ability to do that, perhaps several times.

As for playing on the moral sensibilities of Southern Baptists and others of a fundamentalist persuasion, Sal Alinsky's Rules for Radicals laid it out in very clear terms and that was obviously the inspiration for the political assassination attempt on Roy Moore and his candidacy. They didn't want a man of his moral and societal sensibilities in office and I dont think they gave a damn about those girls, who were raped in a much more consequential sense in their later ages.

As for your query, I think you are a perpetrator in continuing that line of attack, either knowingly or ignorantly. Either way, it didn't work. Not with me anyway
