Seeing as how he enjoys stories about abuse of children, here's another one for falah:
You don't seem too adverse to them yourself. But Opus Dei (or Frances or whatever your name is) you haven't adressed the incredible fact that
children were molested in every Catholic Church
in a country that bothered to do a full investigation.
Not one or two, but
every church!
Would similar results be found in the Catholic churches of Australia?
These days though, one would hope that Catholics have woken up and realised that it is not safe to leave their children with men who belong to a cult that teaches them that they shouldn't be married.
Falah, do you think that the vow of celibacy causes the abuse?
The article you posted was about entire congregations over a long period of time. I put it to you that it would not even be possible to conduct that same process of information gathering in a Muslim congregation. Many Muslims, including Abu and probably yourself, still equate the low rate of reporting of sex crimes in Islamic communities with low rates of offence.
For example, does it make more sense that a legal and social system that permits old men to marry multiple prepubescent wives and requires these woman to wear tents and relies on the men's 'honour' not to rape them reduces the incidence of child sex abuse?
Deceptive of you to bring that up.
I have already explained that in Islam, a man is not allowed to live with the bride as husband and wife, until they have both reached puberty.
