That country? Yemen? The one which is home to the guy who advised Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, and the Christmas Underoo Bomber? Well it seems they’re having a hard time ending their history of pedophilia<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Some of Yemen’s most influential Islamic leaders, including one the U.S. says mentored Osama bin Laden, have declared supporters of a ban on child brides to be apostates.<\/p>\n

The religious decree, issued Sunday, deeply imperils efforts to salvage legislation that would make it illegal for those under the age of 17 to marry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah. It’s “unIslamic” to want your daughter to be grown and educated before she starts spitting out babies. I’m the father of three daughters and find this mighty uncivilized.<\/p>\n

In other Yemen news<\/a>, US ships in the area have been warned of a possible attack off the coast;<\/p>\n

“Information suggests that Al-Qaeda remains interested in maritime attacks in the Bab-al-Mandeb Strait, Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden along the coast of Yemen,” a “special advisory” on the website of the US Office of Naval Intelligence said.<\/p>\n

The advisory by the US Department of Transportation said although it was unclear how the attacks would occur, “it may be similar in nature to the attacks against the USS Cole in October 2000 and the M\/V Limburg in October 2002 where a small to mid-size boat laden with explosives was detonated.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Yemen declares that there are no US service members in Yemen<\/a><\/p>\n

Media rumors continue to circulate that U.S. military
\nforces are assisting their Yemeni counterparts in the battle against rebels, separatists and al-Qaida forces.<\/p>\n

In an interview with al-Arabiya, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh flatly rejected the allegations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
