Ah, I'm on kbin. For some reason, I don't see you were responding to somebody else. Guess some context was lost.

For reference, someone said this:

Several Islamic groups have also condemned the program in a joint statement, fearing it will favor “hypersexualization” of children.

Aren't these the same people that think marrying girls at 10 years of age is fine?

My argument is, no you can't assume that. I am not disagreeing that Islam has pedophilia in its teaching, just that these are probably mostly either mosque imams or parents that are not particularly smart with parenting and don't feel like kids should be "exposed" to sex ed (I am not defending them, just saying that they are probably not the select few Muslims who defend pedophilia and marry off their children). Yes, Islamic parenting has some issue with sex ed that needs to be addressed; these are misinformed parents but could easily also be stubborn stupid parents who let tradition and religion dictate their lives.

However, making that comparison doesn't help anyone nor enable anyone to understand the situation better.
