Wow. That's a big strawman ...
There are no sacred cows.

As someone born in Bosnia and Herzegovina(a country which this guy talked about extensively for an example), there are virtually no Albanian Muslims(less than 1% of the population) that live or have lived there in any semblance of modern history. To be fair, he was probably talking about the genocide in Kosovo, but if you're going to make that claim you better have your facts straight. Regardless, no one in Kosovo, Bosnia or the rest of the Balkans marries 8 year olds like this guy claims.
As for the rest of his argument, it's entirely flawed as well. I don't know where he's getting his facts from but a) women can't get pregnant by having relations with other women b) temperature does not dictate sexual maturity c) I've never heard any evidence of "most girl between 10-12 lose their virginity"
There is no excuse for an adult to have any sexual relationship with underage girls(most especially those who are 8 years old as he stated).
It just shows you how certain people have a warped perspective and have absolutely no idea what they're talking about so they just spew out a bunch of lies.

As for the video, I couldn't get into it. My thoughts and concerns turned to the child brides we have in this country. In particularly I wonder about the activities in the Fundamentalist Mormon stronghold of the Arizona Strip.

Not to defend anything .... but children have long married in this country ....
The American frontier had its share of child marriages ...... and that practice continued even into the middle of last century. It wasn't common ... but it wasn't a 1 in a million thing either.
Hell .. Loretta Lynn was married at 13.
I don't agree with the practice, but I also don't agree with as many 13, 14, and 15 year old kids in this country being sexually active, and kids having kids. (and being born outside of a stable family and marriage)
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.

But if the guy adopted her and wants to have relations, it would just be wrong if they wern't married. Besides, if she found someone that she liked, he could divorce her so that she could marry the other man.
