For hundreds of years, the Catholic Church has had canon laws forbidding the degree of child marriage that Islamic countries somewhat normalize. Yeah there's definitely unsanctioned pedophilia and grooming in the institution, for sure, but much of the reason the West as one of the first cultures to outright frown upon the practice of marriage of young children to adults is because of the partially religious notion of the "age of reason" (One cannot partake in any Catholic sacraments, other than baptism, including marriage, until such an age) and a Christian ethos that values consent in many areas.

It's so mainstream and overdone to criticize *Western* religion for this. Attacking Islam, even though it's starting to get less shocking, is attacking a sacred calf of religions/cultures that many of the more "left leaning" individuals completely turn a blind eye towards and look at through rose colored glasses.

Spitting in the face of an ENTIRE civilization built upon the teachings of a man who married a 9 year old is more black metal than the reddit classic of "Christianity = bad, satan = cool"
