| Zarq Liked 'Em Young |

| Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence operatives gave the special-ops task force a tantalizing lead. For nearly a month, the commandos had monitored every move of Abdul-Rahman, the spiritual adviser, whose locations had been revealed by an al-Qaeda operative captured in May near the Iraq-Jordan border. When Abdul-Rahman surfaced near Baqubah last week--apparently in the same location as the Jordanians' Mr. X--the commandos moved in for the kill. "We had absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Zarqawi was in the house," Army Major General William Caldwell told reporters in Baghdad the day after the strike. The Jordanian security official told TIME that the bombing killed Abdul-Rahman and Mr. X, in addition to al-Zarqawi's 16-year-old wife. |

| #20 Mo was 53 when he married 6 year old Aisha, though Old Mo waited till she was 9 before she was moved in with him. Two years after he married Aisha, he is said to have had his eyes on a toddler. Guess the waiting for Aisha was getting to him: "The Life of Muhammad" by Ibn Ishaq In the riwaya of Yunus I. I. recorded that the apostle saw her (Ummu'lFadl) when she was a baby crawling before him and said, 'If she grows up and I am still alive I will marry her.' Also from the Bukhari hadiths: Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?' Ever why Khomenei and other mullahs say it's OK to soddomize a toddler? There is strong Islamic president for it. |

| #19 Oops, it was Aisha. Mohammed's wives - detailed with references. Something to save for those little debates... Excerpt: "Aisha played with dolls while Mohammed was present. Sahih Muslim vol.4:5981 p.1299 Aisha was 6 (or 7) years old when she was married, and the marriage was consummated when she was nine years old. al-Tabari vol.9 p.130,131 Aisha was married when she was six years old, and nine when she went to Mohammed's house. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3:1876 p.133" |

| #17 What, you're worried about whether Aliyah should've been in the 3rd Grade, instead of the 2nd? I'm just saying... |

| #16 When a 52 year old man has sex with a 9 year old girl it is considered criminally wrong in the western democracies. It's one of those cultural things the decadent west tends to be very definite about. |

| #15 OK guys which was it? One of you said Mo' had it wth a 9-year old, and another said it was an 8-year old. Lets get out facts straight here. This IS Rantburg, after all, and we have a reputation! Cause remember, with the Islamoratz, pervert is in the eyes of the beholder. |

| #14 What's there to "interpret? The koran says Mo'hamed (mo problems) had it away with a nine year old girl. |

| #13 In the 21st century in the West, anyone tagging a 14 year old would be arrested and have to register as a sexual offender. And that would be if someone doesn't knock them off first or become someones girlfriend in jail. But then that would be culturally insensitive would it? This interpretation of Islam never ceases to amaze me. |

| #9 According to Aljazeera his 18 month old son was killed along with his 16 year old bride in the air strike. So how old was she when they were married? |

| #7 Well if Allan was doing an 8 year old and they try to emulate Allan - yes, they are children before any acceptable age of consent being blown up with them. What sort of screwed up guy needs a wife young enough to be playing with dolls. Major retuning of the brain is called for. |

| #6 I think these wives are the "children" they talk about being killed in the attacks. ;o) |

| #5 Reading the entire Time article linked to above, I came away with the notion that if the gov't of Pakistan gave the USA the same level of cooperation Jordan has then OBL would have been dead years ago. |

| #3 Why would we want him alive? We've gotten a lot of intel from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, reportedly. While I think this punk was a lot more like Saddam than like KSM, it's one reason to capture him if we could. Also, if he's known to be dead, his network will proceed accordingly. But if his situation is not clear, his people might be uncertain and either take no action or make mistakes ... either way, it fosters more likelihood of catching them. |

| #2 With darkness approaching and lacking enough forces to storm the house, the surveillance team calls for an air strike. The article suggests we wanted to take Zark alive, but screwed up. Why would we want him alive? Yeah, there'd be some publicity, but I think we were better off wacking him. I especially like the part where he lived long enough to know he'd been had. |
