Marriage preparation course targeting girls aged 13 sparks controversy in German mosque
A Mannheim mosque faces backlash over a flyer advertising a marriage preparation seminar for girls as young as 13, leading organizers to insist that despite the floral design and calls to "save the date," the course's aim was to instill self-confidence in young women

A flyer promoting a marriage preparation seminar for girls as young as 13 at a mosque in Germany has sparked widespread criticism, leaving the local Islamic Workers’ Association on the defensive and postponing the event indefinitely.

A flyer titled “Girls’ Night at the Mosque” went viral on social media, encouraging young girls to attend a seminar series at a mosque in Mannheim aimed at “preparing them for marriage.”

It included a quote attributed to the 10th-century Islamic scholar Al-Tabarani which read, “He who marries has completed half of his faith.”

The flyer featured a floral design typical of a “save the date” or wedding invitation.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Looks like it may be a race between Deutschland, Holland, Belgium and France as to which will become "an islamic nation" first.

I didn't mention Britain because that country is going to "get there" ahead of all the rest. The Brits have no -- absolutely zero -- intestinal fortitude to mount a struggle against it, that fellow "Tommy" notwithstanding.
