There is something Biblical in this whole mess that Muhammed goes and marries a child and the same is going on in West Texas in the 21st century.

Haven't noticed that particular instance. I was referring to latest article by Balagangadhara (Stereotypes) and tying into Antonio de Nicholas (Left neocortex does not get direct sensory input). Infantilization and sexualization are the two main modes of Western stereotyping; there are plenty of such instances in western interaction with the far east, which have been ably explored under the postmodern rubric of the "colonial gaze" or fetishization.
Always we should remember Rosser's famous line about Indologists: that they love their subjects in the same way that a pedophile loves the child. We can always spot an aspect of 'forced familiarization' or rather the 'feigning of a false familiarity and closeness' in their interactions with their subjects. Balagangadhara even describes seeing the "professor's smile" in his hour long audio.
