Aussie Cops Arrest Muslim Imam for Marrying Off 12-Year-Old Girl

How was he to know it was wrong? The Imam was from Pakistan where raping children is a routine fact of life.

Police have arrested and charged a Muslim imam accused of conducting the marriage of a 12-year-old girl in the Hunter Valley this year.  Imam Muhammad Riaz Tasawar, from Pakistan, will face court in April.

The Muslim cleric had come to Australia on an employment visa sponsored by The Islamic Centre of Newcastle. He worked at the center for four years before news of the illegal union spread.

Detectives from the Child Abuse Squad arrested the 35-year-old Pakistan-born man outside Parramatta police station about 4.30pm on Monday afternoon, police said.

Police will allege he agreed to conduct a ceremony after he was approached by a 26-year-old man, who was eager to marry the girl.

The 26-year-old, a Lebanese man who is living in Australia on a student visa, has been charged with 25 counts of having sexual intercourse with an underage child.

It had been reported the imam had gone to ground. “He was located outside the police station,” a police spokesman said.

“It wasn’t arrest by appointment or anything like that, just that we happened to find him outside the police station.”

Detectives allege the father allowed his daughter to be married to the 26-year-old at his house in a private Islamic ceremony on January 12.

The case of a father who allowed his 12-year-old daughter to marry ”for love” may be one of at least 250 similar incidents across the nation in the past two years, a legal expert has warned.

There will be a lot more cases like this if Muslim migration to Australia continues.

    Our elected leaders had better start waking up to the fact that Islam and its adherents are not compatible with our values. To have allowed this many Muslims into western nations has been and will continue to be an unmitigated, social, political and cultural disaster.

    I already smell Anti-Islam in this article. Unfortunately, child bride practice is conducted in other culture/religions too and not all Muslims follow this practice. Either this Imam is mentally sick or doing a favor to save “family dignity”. It’s a tribal culture ritual. I am glad police caught this Imam. If he is found guilty, his visa needs to be revoked deported back. The Australian immigration needs to be more vigilant in the future.

      It’s not “tribal culture” as you are trying to spin it, but vintage Mohammedan Islam.
      Your ‘prophet’ was 53 years old when he sexually assaulted his 9-year old ‘wife’ – Aisha.

      Your Hadith clearly states: “The Prophet (Mohammed) married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old” – Sahih Bukhari 7:62:64, 88; 5:55:236

      So, “child bride practice” is conducted in…Christian cultures? Where? Jewish cultures? Where? I smell a muslim who actually knows that his religion encourages child rape and is just the slightest bit queasy about what his beloved prophet practised with Aisha. Aisha was a child when Muhammad married and raped her. Who was the mentally sick imam who married the two of them? Was that imam anti-islam?

    It is time to separate Muslim states from those with Western values. If there are 57 Muslim states, then that need to be their universe, and leave the rest of the world alone. Time to send these seventh century heathens packing.

    Another reason we should not allow people to emigrate to western countries from countries controlled by Muslim’s, unless it is for religious liberty.

    Nothing new, it is allowed in Islam, and while the world has moved on they still go by 6th century laws and where they are a MAJORITY, they follow Sharia and in nations where they are a MINORITY , they still want to follow SHARIA. Be careful, while allowing more MIGRANTS from these countries, would not be surprised if in new FUTURE Australia gets partitioned like my beautiful India has been .

    • jakespoon

      I think,given the opportunity,that India would handle their muslim problem. And more power to them.

      • Sudipta Barat

        We have woken up, a bit late, but WE ARE NOW FIGHTING BACK

        • jakespoon

          Dang straight!.

  • jakespoon

    12!… by muslim standards she was nearly a spinster. Only about 1/10 of 1% of these people that are here should be allowed here… the rest,back whence you came.

    Can there be a more disgusting and immoral culture?
