Sure!
Saudi Arabia has a serious child-marriage problem.
It's emblematic of the nation's struggle between modernity and traditional Islam. But the lives of thousands of little girls are being destroyed as the Saudi government ponderously debates a solution.
Child marriage has been acceptable, even encouraged, in many Islamic states since the religion was born. After all, among the prophet Muhammad's dozen wives was Aisha, who is believed to have been 6 or 7 years old when the two were married. But in Saudi Arabia, at least, the practice slammed headlong into modern values last spring, when a Saudi court refused to nullify the marriage of an 8-year-old girl from Unaiza to a man in his late 50s.

No, just like Blacks, Hispanics, women, LGBT, Trump is a racists, bigot, but he allows this minorities that can do something for him in his circle. All the ordinary minorities are beneath him. All ordinary people are beneath him, that’s why he has rallies and stands behind the podium, so he doesn’t have to interact with all the germer commoners.

He wanted a Muslim ban. In his own words: On Dec. 7, 2015, at a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump read a statement, “calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

If all Muslims were killers we would be in big trouble because there are a lot of Muslims on the planet. I could not walk down the streets of Houston. I could not leave my house.

Houston has the largest population of Muslims in the South.

I hope you have the ethical standing to apply the exact same principle to other religions, because Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism condemn and do not sanction, murder, mayhem, and the killing of innocents. And anyone engaged in those activities is acting outside the boundaries of the accepted and conventional religious practice.

English isn’t your first language, is it, Super Moderator? Your first sentence does not translate to what you probably meant.
Oh, the article “a” is singular. It’s “a racist,” not “a racists.” You’re welcome.
Before you accuse me of being a “racists,” my esposa is a Latina. Imagine that.
