What does Muft'khathat mean?

I am confused, I think it is allowed in Islam, but need clarification.

Thank you.

Update:

I just found this discussion on video of a Muslim cleric describing an event with Khomeini, it should be of interest to all Muslims http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1IzQxa6m0M

If you disagree, please tell why.

Update 2:

Or this one, please watch and explain this to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz40Dj_-IY0

Update 3:

If you are Muslim, and don't know what this means, please GOOGLE it.

Update 4:

I see you are all too scared to Google this word, why are you so frightened to read and hear what Muslims say about this practice?

Update 5:

I'm not sure what is fuelling such annoyance, these are Muslim videos, with Muslims explaining this practise of sanctioned Child Molestation, in Muslim countries - I have merely asked for an explanation of why this is going on.

I am asking why is is considered okay for a man to put his private parts between the thighs of a baby, toddler or small girl (or boy), and why this is allowed in Islam, when the rest of the world considers this repulsive, abhorrent and disgusting?

I am asking what Muslims think of this. If you do not know, then say so. If you think it is okay, then say so. If you would allow some adult man to do this to your child (as the Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini did), then say so.

I am merely trying to understand this practice

Update 6:

Patrick - the difference is that we have laws which ban this behaviour, which prosecute those who do this, we protect our children from Pedophiles, Christianity abhors this, punishes those who do this.

Islam, sadly, bases their faith on a man who did this, who promoted this, and who's religion still permits this and does NOT protect children from Pedophiles.

There will always be those who desire small children, what people have to decide is whether they will follow a religion who permits this behaviours (Islam), or one which doesn't.

I am not making this up, these videos are by Muslims, for Muslims, and yet the majority of Muslims know nothing about this.

Let me hear again how Islam respects females!

Update 7:

PATRICK - again, you are missing the point - I am not saying that all Islamic men do this, but the WHOLE RELIGION is based on following a man who did this - and in the video, you say that the man who was telling the story disapproved, but (you say) he was in no position to disapprove, "he was in no position to challenge him so he said "If you say so then ok" because he probably would've been killed" which is also terrible!!!!!

They say, the only thing necessary for Evil to prosper, is that Good Men do nothing.

This video, according to you, is an example of that. That man listened to a four year old child cry and scream in fear and pain all night, while an old man had his way with her, and that man (in the video) DID NOTHING.

And do you know why, because it is okay for them to do this. It is what Muhammed did, an NO ONE can question his actions, so Muslim men and women, blindly emulate him, and the good men do nothing.

You may be an atheist, but I am thankf

    What's to understand? Their "prophet" set the example when he wed the six year old Aisha. Allah allowed Muslim men to marry any girl, whether menstruating or not. That is apparent in the Quran verses about divorce and iddah, the waiting period wives must observe after divorce or death of their husband. Allah instructed that those girls who have not yet menstruated wait 3 months before remarrying or whatever. Read this:

    Quran 65:4

    And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair.

    Tafsir of the Quran state that those "who have not had their course" refer to young girls who haven't yet reached puberty.

    The `Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses

    Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her `Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. ﴿see 2:228﴾ The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their `Iddah is three months like those in menopause. This is the meaning of His saying;

    ﴿وَاللَّـتِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ﴾

    (and for those who have no courses...) as for His saying;

    ﴿إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ﴾

    (if you have doubt...) There are two opinions: First, is the saying of a group of the Salaf, like Mujahid, Az-Zuhri and Ibn Zayd. That is, if they see blood and there is doubt if it was menstrual blood or not. The second, is that if you do not know the ruling in this case, then know that their `Iddah is three months. This has been reported from Sa`id bin Jubayr and it is the view preferred by Ibn Jarir. And this is the more obvious meaning. Supporting this view is what is reported from Ubay bin Ka`b that he said, "O Allah's Messenger! Some women were not mentioned in the Qur'an, the young, the old and the pregnant.'' Allah the Exalted and Most Honored sent down this Ayah,

    For those who use crimes committed by Christians to somehow excuse Muslims, I say that Jesus is a Christian's perfect example and He NEVER HURT A CHILD. It is not a part of Christianity. Muhammad is a Muslim's perfect example and he did! It IS a part of Islam.

    A total fabrication with just one objective, to malign Islam. To some how suggest that first the Prophet Pbuh married a 6 year old and then to molest her is beyond fantasy. Just because scrupulosity driven professional clerics (by the way not just restricted to the Muslim Mullahs) wish it so does not make it Islamic.

    "Scared" is not the word that comes to mind :) Ignorance, linguistic incompetence, trolling will do nicely. The Islam hater's eagerness to jump on the seriously flawed sources used by some scholars is not surprising. Not to mention the linguistically challenged translations of the Quran. Furthermore, the seriously dishonest practice of quoting out of context verses of the Quran is by now not only fully exposed but downright boring. In both cases the utter lack of pragmatic competence is shocking.

    Either you believe that the 100% verifiable words of the Quran are God's Revelations or not. There is no in between position.

    What about those christian ranches out in the deserts of Texas and the SouthWest where they teach that it's God's will that girls can be married and have sex at the age of 11?They do it all the time and the Feds are always cracking there weird azzes for even more bizarre shlt than that.Does that mean that all christians have to provide an answer for this strange practice?I'm an atheist and even I know you can't generalize based on one person's / group's statements and beliefs.And that's exactly what you're doing here.You found some dirt on Islam and now you're making muslims in america stand trial for it.In Africa christians sleep with little girls,or to make it sound extra heinous like you do I'll use the word babies,all the time.Do all christians have to answer for this?And don't try to slide the word boy in there because muslims don't openly condone homosexuality.Christian priests do all the raping of boys in this country.And they let gays in their clergy because they like boys.

    And I don't care what anyone says no one can convince me that the majority of muslim men sleep with infants and babies.It's christians,their enemies,doing all the reporting.So it's no surprise that it's being reported this way.And isn't it obvious that the man who was telling the story about Khomeini was in complete disagreement with his actions - he was making it obvious that he was disappointed in him and he said that he was in no position to challenge him so he said "If you say so then ok" because he probably would've been killed.I love the way the christian narrator makes it seem as if the man telling the story approves of fvcking babies,too.Why is he telling this story?Isn't it obvious that he's disgusted himself?I do believe that there have been cases where muslim men have abused babies but I think that those cases are rare and that the christians magnify it to the point where they make it seem that the majority of the males in their society are obsessed with fvcking babies.

    As an atheist I don't believe that there is any race,society,or even religion that is bent on having sex with kids/babies.I believe it happens but not on a general level the way this story reports.And since Jesus and Muhhamed are completely false ask me if I give a shlt who's better?Nothing either one of them said was true anyway.Believe me if we were to let christian fundamentalists run america we would have a society based on the bible and shlt that the muslims do would be done here too.Women would be treated like shlt,I'd be killed for not believing in christ,and little kids would be married to grown men like they did in biblical times.The only thing saving us from this terrible fate is the U.S. government.They keep those fvckers in check!We owe our moral development to logic and reason.After the U.S. government was established and rid it's self of religious dogma and championed reason we have developed very rapidly in a moral sense.That's because for the first time we were able to practice reason.You christians did not give us our high moral standards,we gave them to you.You behave yourselves because the government will fvck you guys up if you get out of hand.Just like they fvcked the muslims up.You christians don't want shlt with the government.So shut the fvck up and quit trying to be better than each other!You both(christians/muslims) are fake and weak as fvck!The government will thrash your sorry azzes!
