Serious Humor

Mohammed,

Humor is my writing style and I realize that humor is not a great Islamic tradition, so I will be more direct... If Islamic law ruled America, then there would be fewer virgins because the age of consent for girls under Islamic rule is 9 years old. It is still criminal behavior for adult men to have sexual relations with 9 year old girls under federal and all state laws, and is also considered repulsive behavior by the citizenry. So, even factoring into the equation the supposed immoral sexual practices of American society, the numbers don't support your argument.

Also, you did not answer my simple question: Which Muslim country exhibits the social conditions you refer to in your post?
