Who are those scholars and why do they agree that Aisha was no longer a child? These must be the questions we must answer next.
But, we now know that such practices were and are wrong. Just because they did that heinous stuff because they were primitive doesn’t grant us permission to accept their heinousness. We have come a long way and people like Muhammad were perverts. Islam should come along with the rest of the enlightened world and reject such behavior. It’s inconceivable that you would defend such behavior in light of modern understanding. Muhammad was a bad guy. Come into the present and join those of us who understand how vile Islam is.
Ehh? Let me remind you of what I said: scholars agree that Aisha was not a child when she went to Muhammad’s house. Maybe when they were engaged. I have not ever heard this story you’re telling, so I am initially inclined to doubt its authenticity. I am not aware that Aisha even had a nurse. Soo… again. When the marriage was consummated she wasn’t a child, and it was certainly not anything strange in that society, and it DEFINITELY wasn’t child molestation–proven by the giant of a woman Aisha came to be, as I’ve said, one of the greatest women who ever lived.
Muhammad was not a bad guy. If he was as bad as you think, how did Aisha become as great as she was? Just think about it.
Again, this video becomes most relevant at 2:00 to the end:You live in 2009; not then. To YOU its sick. To a women then it was natural.
Does that mean that this girl’s heroism came from her husband, too? She couldn’t possible be heroic unless her husband didn’t beat and abuse her?
So far you have said that she wasn’t a child even though she was only nine years old by most accounts. I assure you that by the morals and laws of contemporary western societies she was a child incapable of consenting to sex with an old geezer like Muhammad. It was, according to enlightened standards, child molestation. Enlightened societies understand something about human development and and we understand that sex with children is very wrong. Islam defends sex with children.
A child and favorite wife of 12 to a powerfull man, daughter to his best friend who gave her to Mohammed at 6 yrs old, and her dad became the next leader of the Muslims after Mohammeds death. Called ‘mother of believers’ who was never a mother.
And the reason this is an issue for we, the non-Muslims of the world, is that Muhammad is still the paradigm for relations between the sexes in Islam today. It is culturally still accepted in Islamic countries for old men to have “brides” as young as 9. This is why this is so troubling, and why we can see that Muhammad is not a man for all times and all places.
Muhammad had sex with a child of nine years of age. That’s a very bad guy. Muhammad wrote things about Christians and Jews that are unacceptable. He wrote, in the Q’uran that women are not equal to men. And lots of other nasty stuff. Muhammad was a really bad guy and his religion infects the world with evil. Take a look at the 9/11 attacks all in the name of the god of Islam.
Actually there is a concept in the derivation of Islamic law (fiqh) call URF. Funny looking word, huh? 'Urf. Anyway, it means the cultural situations of a particular place. What is the law in some places is not the law in other places because there are different cultural norms. Some Muslim sheikh once asked a Jewish rabbi at what age Jewish girls could be married off. Most will wait until she’s at least 12 but they would actually often arrange the marriage before that. And there are some opinions that the girl can even be married before that. I say this only to prove it’s not something strange in Islam, but something that was permitted even in Judaism for young girls to be married.
Just try to make that look real with regard to the many situations in Europe wherein Muslims have gone berserk over cartoons. Just try to make that case for England where Muslims are demanding their own legal system.
Controlling the whole world? Bwahaha? Come on. Be serious.
Which means he is inferior to Jesus.There are other matters of higher importance when deriving rulings, but some things that Muhammad did were customary in that society–and in that case, might not apply to all peoples at all times as some people have suggested.
Really? Because every single person is supposed to live exactly like Jesus? Be born of virgins and crucified in their 30s, never getting married…?
Of course, Mohammad was inferior to Jesus. Not only to Jesus of the NT, but also to the Issa of the Koran. Issa was always a righteous believer and knew the scripture perfectly well whereas Mohammad had remained a pagan and known nothing about scripture or faith until he was 40!
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is no comparison. You should research what Jesus taught. It should make Muhammad hide in shame.
And look at the Muslim leader saying she deserves the death sentence:
