Paedophillia has to be diagnosed by trained specialists. A man of say, 21, having “consensual” sex with a 15 year old would not be a paedophile in UK law, but actually a rapist because a girl of that age would is not considered able to give consent. The same applies if an adult’s (16+) mental age is below 16 – this is to protect vulnerable people who may suffer from mental incapacities such as Down’s Syndrome.

Even in this purest form, a specialist told me that it’s more common than we’d like to believe. Unpleasant stuff. Makes my guts churn having daughters of my own.

So Mo wasn’t a paedophile, by our measure he was a rapist. Perhaps that was the intention? I stick by what I said earlier though and the point is that even moderate muslims are so easily offended (by what amounts to a poorly researched joke) they are actually part of the problem.

Also, surely “paedophilia” is just being sexually aroused by children. It doesn’t have to be criminal.

The material in the publication was gratuitously offensive to ordinary Muslims, equating them to rapists. He didn’t single out justifiable targets like Islamists, extremists, or those commited of rape, but just ordinary Muslims.

He is a lucky boy to still have a place at Cambridge.

Mo wasn’t a paedophile. The age of consent (as we know it) is quite a recent idea – 200 years or less old as I recall. Before that, seems like it was a bit of a free-for-all. Paedophillia also requires diagnosis by a specialist.

At best, Mo was (by today’s standards) a child molestor – and bizarrely, there is a difference. One does it for sexual pleasure (their own and cannot understand what they are doing is wrong) the molestor does it for control. Those priests who molest kids (boys and girls) appear to do so as some bizarre power trip. Go figure.

For these reasons alone we should be careful when referring to Mo as a kiddy-fiddler. A violent control freak who has inspired generations of violent control freaks would perhaps be more fitting.

Now, how about this, I just got censored for (and you’re ALL going to love this) quoting the Bible!

Some moderator elsewhere is so shit scared that I’ve broken the rules by quoting complete with citations (but no comments) just a few of the of the nasty bits from the bible and pointing out that SOME people want to teach it in schools. You know, the bits about hating gays, raping women, that sort of stuff. Funny how religious sensibilities can be so easily bent out of shape. But what’s really bizarre, this was a site specifically against pushing religion in schools!

“Comment is free(ish)” – how true.
