I appreciate your concern. I do talk to people about these things, don't get me wrong :) And I don't write to criticize, but I write to find discussion. I back my writing with quotes from the Quran itself, I don't write simply... All I'm saying is that certain practices which are generally perceived as Islamic, is not Islamic but a cultural practice. Here, I'm trying to distinguish between religion and culture. Too many times we get mistaken between the two. If you study Islam, the teachings were not revealed in one go but subsequently. And its teachings are not static - it is relevant to the space and time of which we live in. I touched briefly on history - we have to look at the Arab historical context to understand child marriages during that day which no longer apply to this day because of other options that were not there before. I hope I had clarified my point. Thanks for your comment, Mike! Hi Mike…

Orang-orang yang kononnya expert agama tetapi tidak meneliti sejarah dan situasi socio-ekonomi masa dahulu dan mahu orang turut kata mereka. Tetapi scholars yang lebih bijak dan berpengetahuan pula senyap...yang bersuara kena tangkap atau kena buang pulak. Masalah ini agak serius dan harus dibincang. Umat Islam sendiri kena teliti dan belajar dari non-Malaysian Muslim scholars. They provide a more holistic and relevant point of view. Terima kasih aebot.
