It shows Mohammed, 40, with his new 11-year-old wife, Ghulam. Taken by US photographer Stephanie Sinclair, it was named Unicef Photo of the Year yesterday.
Some 60million girls worldwide are married while still under age, according to the children's rights agency.
A picture of a boy lifting bricks on his head in Bangladesh, showing the life of one of the millions exploited as child labour, came second. It was taken by GMB Akash.
And third prize went to one taken by German photographer Hartmut Schwarzbach. It shows nine-year-old Annalyn celebrating her birthday by jumping on a sofa in the rubbish dump in Manila, Philippines, where she has lived for three years.
She looks thrilled.
Didn’t the so-called prophet marry an 11 year old too?
TROPedophiles
Looks like he put on his
best trousers.
No. She was six. Give the guy credit, though, he didn't consummate the marriage until she was 9...
Under what age?
That's why they can't ban the cruelty of underage brides. If Mohammad did it, it must be alright. (And conversely, if they ban it, they're saying that what he did was a sin. Blasphemy!)
I understand this was common around the world ... over a thousand years ago!
Doesn’t every 11 year old girl dream of marrying a 40 year old bearded freak?
Mohammed signed a marriage contract (with Aisha’s father) when Aisha was 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9.

Great points.
How can a star shine THROUGH a planet!
The men who did this to her ought to be horsewhipped.
they can name humans Mohammed but not a stuffed teddy bear
LOL! Excuse me while I clean my drink out of my nose!
Pervert Mohammed, like all the male muslim perverts need to be permanently locked up in a pig pen.
And the sound of NOW responding is....
the sound of crickets.
Aesha was only eight or nine years old when Muhammad took her to his bed. According to Hadith, she was still playing with her dolls. This facet of Muhammad’s sexual appetite is particularly distressing to Westerners.
Legalized child molestation. That’s all it is.
Infidel!!! You must think we are idiots. A star cannot shine through moon. The star is on THIS side of the moon.
diversity... diversity!!! wretched goathumpers.
Like WTF am I into.
That’s disgusting.
While in Islamic countries an eight-or-nine-year-old girl can be given in marriage to an adult male, in the West, most people would shudder to think of an eight-or-nine-year-old girl being given in marriage to anyone. (Although it is condoned by the Talmud).
This aspect of Muhammad’s personal life is something that many scholars pass over once again because they do not want to hurt the feelings of Muslims. Yet, history cannot be rewritten to avoid confronting the facts that Muhammad had unnatural desires for little girls.
All cultures are equal, and so I shall refrain from making any judgments about that disgusting, flea-bitten old pervert. The greasy, son-of-a-goat pedophile might be a nice guy.
I brought that up to a Muslim friend, that it was child abuse, her being so young.
The answer: “Nine years old back then had the maturity of a 12 year old now - maybe even more so, so it was acceptable.”
I don't think it stops at little girls. Camels and goats notwithstanding, I believe little boys are highly prized as well.
*sigh* yeah.
It looks like a 3D, topdown view of a circus platform. Fitting for this bunch of clowns.
I about barfed when I saw this picture. That poor girl. :(
So it does!
She was 6, but he magnanimously refrained from using her sexually, until she was 9.
I suppose she had a decent dowry—Burka Barbies and bomb belted baby dolls.Religion of peace my kafir kiester!
Religion of pedophiles,pederasts and populators of perdition is more like it!
Research has shown the younger a girl has relations the higher her risk of cervical cancer later in life.
I submit that other than “honor” murders and executions for being raped,caught with another man while married or showing a little skin,more Muslim women die from this cancer than from any other causes.
If only Bush were a Muslim—then all these abominations would cease.
Disclaimer—not all Muslims are Islamist bastards but all Islamist bastards are Muslims.
I never saw it that way before, Rorschach would be proud.
Frigging barbarians......
L
photo looks like it was taken near Haight-Ashbury in 67.
Actually, the backwards, barbaric aspects of Islam have been hitting the news on a pretty regular basis lately...the teddy bear incident, the raped girl/200 lashes incident, the ‘honor killing’ in Canada...All stuff that Muslims would have rather not seen publicized...
Maybe the elites have decided they had better start speaking up or get ready to wear burkas and grown long beards...
As opposed to a muslim-enabler?
Kill every turban headed taliban dead. Turbans in Afghanistan ought to equal a g$!@$@4 death sentence. Tough love is needed for these neanderthals. In fact they should treated thusly and systematically cleansed from the family of man. No patience with this. It’s obvious these cretins can’t be negotiated with. I think basically wars have been fought for women’s rights as much as territory over the course of history.
Do you remember the strategy Cassius Clay used on George Forman during the Rumble in the Jungle? Bush and his people do. Bush also has the basketball tactic of giving ground to a raging backing it in player to watch him fall on his rear.
Basically Bush speaks softly and carries a big stick.
I used to be able to convince myself of that too.
Here’s what I’m trying to say. Bush is convinced and supremely confident that our way is the better way. This is our culture war to win over time. The only way it gets out of hand is if we elect someone like Huckabee and he decides it’s time for the big one. I mean come on, that’s the risk with this gentleman.
No it’s true. He’s not selling it because like Chris Rock says, what Bush has sells itself.
Or St. Hillary!™ and she folds.
Living up to his namesake.
Yeah. Having an advanced civilzation really saved Spain’s butt when the Moors invaded, didn’t it?
Until the left allows us to use fully our own energy resources we have to kiss big Arab butts while killing their terrorists.
Total economic collapse or day by day national security?
Take your pick.
