If you want me to "own" the other stuff, that's a completely different issue. As an adult capable of intelligent thought (I assume), surely you can raise those issues in their own context, without having to just lump them with whichever Islamic topic happens to be current?

I definitely won't be owning this. It has no basis in Islam at all, and is quite obviously practiced by peoples of many different faiths. I no more own it than a Christian does. As for staged and pressured condemnations, I've never believed in giving them any such legitimacy as to submit to them when they're demanded by the average garden variety Islamophobe.

So long as it's not forced, there's no problem with match making in Islam, just as there's no problem with it in ALL cultures.

Early is an ambiguous term, you'd need to be more specific.
