Let's not forget the folks down in Waco...those groups come a dime a dozen in the deep south.

Then there was Berg and The Family/Children of God. I know they had a good 10 or 20 thousand followers. I think that Alamo's church was a lot smaller, probably a couple hundred from what I remember. Alamo is a straight up fire and brimstone dude. Berg was more on the hippy side of Christianity, no doubt. As for broader protestant sects, yes, there has been a tradition of church elders taking young wives. Toddlers? Not that I'm aware of. I'm also not aware of the fatwa of which you speak, so I don't know it's authenticity or it's weight. Not all fatwas are equal and many fatwas are counterindicated by other fatwas from other sources. As to ignoring scale and scope, that wasn't your question. I answered your question when you asked for christian ministers, providing you examples. I strongly suspect that you have a poor grasp of the scale and scope of the practices you speak of within the Muslim world. But I'm certainly not an expert on the nuances of Islamic culture and the practice of the law. There are also certainly large areas that I disagree with, I'm not one to support Sharia. But I do know enough to know that you are freaking out and letting ignorance and fear blind you to the diversity of culture and traditions within Islam.
