Just because this is socially acceptable does not make it a social norm. I'm sure that every child taken under the wing of the "loving male" does not do so willingly. They are children who fear adults and cannot make their on decisions. This is child sexual abuse plain and simple and cannot be winked at regargless of what flag or religion it happens under. To call it anything else is naive.

Excellent point. It's definitely a social issue, not a religious one.
Sociologists and anthropologists say the problem results from perverse interpretation of Islamic law.
I don't see why the religious aspect needs to be brought up...
Because that's the only way to spread the fear of "Islamification".
And if the OP is going to blame Islam for pedophilia, they better take a good look at the Christian priests who have a well-known penchant for little boys and girls.

Let us not forget how Catholic priests have a penchant for kids as well.

heres an example- im not sure if its media bias or not, but I see probly 10x more female teachers having sex with male students than the opposite. just something I had noticed.
Paedophilia is not confined to Islamic countries, it is a global problem lest we not forget and the RC church are quite possibly at the top of the league in this dispicable activity.

In Palestine we saw the "marriage" ceremony of hundreds of 9 to 12 year old girls.
