Christians and Jews may not. However if you get enough Muslims, that may change. Muslims are very tolerant when they are not the majority, but when there are enough of them, then they become much less tolerant. Just take a look at Europe and especially the UK. As more Muslims come in the more they attempt to change the laws to follow Sharia.
Because I have learned that not everyone follows every part of their faith.
In our country and many Western countries no. However, you would be surprised at how many people from other countries follow their faith as closely as possible. To them it is as natural as breathing.
Because it is illegal here.
I know it is illegal here, but that wasn't the point, the point was that it is legal where they are coming from. They are legally married in whatever country they are coming from and are invited and encouraged to come to our country. Then when they get here, we treat them like criminals, that isn't very tolerant.
The government would, yes. Child marriages should not be allowed in the US.
They aren't getting married in the US, they are getting married in their home countries and due to the encouragement to migrate come to our country already married. Then people act all shocked as if they have never heard of this and want to treat the man as a criminal, when he did nothing wrong per his previous culture and laws.
Yea, if anyone tries to break our laws, treat them how we treat anyone who does.
Again, their culture and beliefs are so much more different than our own, when you bring in such a difference of cultures you have conflict and strife. It has to be organic and natural, not forced.
Bottom line, you can't have it both ways here. If you know that the person is not compatible with your beliefs you don't invite them into your country. You tolerate them in their own country, but you don't give them access to your country.
