There is no church coming to the aid of these children, contrary to an earlier post. There are two known charities helping these kids:

1. Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN)
2. Stepping Stones Nigeria

So, a call for civility is alien to your psyche? Alright, I just thought some people will prefer debates that were not muddled by attempts to score off-topic points.

What was the lie in my post? You posted a video on Mut'ah marriages (recognized only by a sect of Shia Islam but haram to the majority Sunnis). Legally, in Bahrain, it is not a crime. I discouraged entering the legal turf and remaining on the moral turf. I agreed that some aspects of Mut'ah marriages (e.g., sexual molestation of children) are evil. Where is the lie?

On the "Child Witches" video. The pastors use the fear of witchcraft to exploit the people, accusing the vulnerable children of witchcraft, and doing nothing to prevent parents from torturing and killing their own children. Where is the lie there?

You're no more Christian than I am, but don't allow your hatred for Islam blind you to the fact that many children in Akwa Ibom state are homeless because of Christianity.

You have a moral argument, not a legal one.

From the video you posted, Mut'ah marriages are legal in Bahrain. However, in Nigeria, the actions of Emeka Ezeugo (Reverend King) were criminal.

The 50-year old mallams marrying underage girls will not be prosecuted because Nigerian law (a composite of English common law, Islamic law, and customary law) grants them that right.

You don't have a legal argument, only a moral one.

and a religion that makes one amoral is called?

Na you biko!You take your sophomoric posts to a whole new level. Supposing someone in 1987 was condemning slavery in Mauritania,how would it be a valid rebuttal to state that slavery is legal under Mauritanian law hence the person is only waging a moral argument and not a legal one?

Lets say I condemn apartheid in South Africa in the 80s,a white person retorts,''. . . . . . . but your argument is only a moral one for racial segregation is legal in S.Africa''

Nwando says mutah marriages are appalling,your retort is that what she finds appalling has been elevated to a lawful act in Bahrain. . . . .this of course validates her point that not only does immorality occur,but the state has given its backing to such immorality.

Telling us that it is legal will be like telling us that segregation is legal,hence her argument is invalid.
