So the article I posted a couple days ago about the Hamas sponsoring a mass child bride wedding seemed to get quite a bit of attention from readers and bloggers around the net. Pretty much every anti-jihad site I know of picked it up.
There’s a lot of dispute on what actually happened at this event. Sky News reporter Tim Marshall, who claims he was at the event, has been going around the net commenting that this wasn’t in fact a mass child bride wedding, but the girls in the pictures are actually the nieces/sisters of the grooms. Tim Marshall blogged about this yesterday saying that Hamas is yea um, evil or something…but most are just “ordinary people” who “need a break”…
Sure Hamas have cold blooded killers among them, sure they support the murder of children in Israel,sure they are cracking down on women’s rights, but many of their supporters are just ordinary people. And they need a break.
The men and women are sitting, Most ignore the speeches, some even ignore the prayers. Then the fireworks explode, the cheering begins, and in march the Hamas scouts, bashing drums, looking every inch the future Hamas fighters many will be. Then the grooms, aged about 18 to about 28. They are holding hands with their young nieces and cousins, little girls aged from about 3 to 8, made up to the nines, wearing white wedding dresses.

First of all, I don’t ”give a break” to any group of people who vote TERRORISTS into power…What’s interesting is that Tim and his “on the scene coverage”, which essentially has no pictures or video evidence of there actually being a bunch of brides there who were of age, later ADMITS that he NEVER SAW THE REAL BRIDES.
Also, what did the AP expect when they wrote an article about a mass wedding and then show the grooms walking with a bunch of young girls in white dresses? Sane people can see the writing on the wall, cmon now.
He goes on to rant about the “ultra-right Islamophobic blogosphere” and their obvious bias against Islam.
It showed how much some people want to believe nonsense like this, as it re-inforces their prejudices, always a comfortably fun thing to do.
So we shouldn’t have a prejudice towards terrorist groups? Or are we just idiots when we read an article from the AP about a mass wedding that shows grooms walking around with young girls in white dresses. Does he think we’re all a bunch of Islamophobes (in which he sympathizes with Islamic pedophelia) or just a big group of idiots who can’t see the writing on the wall? Even, the Daily Mail earlier this year reported on Saudi Arabia’s Senior most cleric giving the OK to Pedophelia. It’s not ALL Muslims, obviously, and that’s really noth the point anyway. The point is to call it like we see it.
Then Marshal goes on and scoffs at the notion that just because we’re outside of Gaza, that means we know nothing about Islam and we’re just a bunch of arm-chair Muslim haters…
Most of the stuff I read was outright, unthinking, gleeful, Islamophobia from people who clearly knew nothing about Arab popular culture.
Sorry, Tim. We know PLENTY about popular arab culture, and especially when it comes to children, it ain’t pretty…
And to top it all off, he drops this little nugget at the end of his post basically ADMITTING HE DIDN’T SEE ANY OF THE ACTUAL BRIDES IN THE AUDIENCE…
Perhaps I was making up the fact that the brides were elsewhere. It’s possible. But who would you believe, the reporter who went to the event, or a desperately poor version of citizen journalist, sitting at home, making things up, not checking anything, and either unknowingly or deliberately, writing hysterical anti Islamic nonsense.
I believe the writing on the wall, Tim, until proven otherwise. I don’t trust your pro-Muslim bias any more than I do the other rabid anti-Israel, radical Muslim sympathizing journalists in the mainstream leftist media…
The conclusion is this…Until we see EVIDENCE that there were adult female brides at this event, why in the world should we believe a biased reported like Tim Marshall? For me, the evidence speaks for itself…
