Dear Cute2904
I did not say anything is wrong with back and fourths, I merely said I am not here for back and fourths and that I have found it (from experience) to be very time consuming. I posted the links for people to benefit from if they desire to benefit and to be of those who benefit, but as is usual I see myself getting dragged into something I said I am not here for, i.e. back and fourths. Nevertheless, I will try my best to answer your questions, but if we are to engage in dialogue then I hope that some mutual respect can be shown, so that means you do not say disgusting things about the Prophet Muhammad (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), i.e. accusing him of paedophilia, and this is why I will start my answers to your questions.
As for the young marriage ‘Aa’ishah (radee Allaahu ‘anhaa) to the Prophet Muhammad (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) then it is worth noting that you will not find any objection from ‘Aa’ishah or any report from her (and there are in excess of 2000 narrations from her) that states anything derogatory about Prophet Muhammad (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam); rather, you will only find in the 2000 plus reports words of praise stating how well he treated her. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) had many enemies and many slandered him, but what is interesting is that not one of them ever mentioned anything about his marriage to ‘Aa’ishah, if you are willing then I wish to draw your attention to two links which will answer your accusation in greater detail:
islamic-awareness.org/Polemics/aishah.html (an article by a former non-Muslim)
al-meezaan.com/non_muslims/marriage_aaishah.mp3 (an audio by a former Christian preacher)
As for your accusations about Islaam and terrorism then if only you had read some of the links I posted all of your questions would have been answered. What one must do is realise the difference between Islaam and what it teaches and what some claimants to Islaam believe and preach. Imagine if I were to deem every Catholic a terrorist because of the actions of the IRA, and imagine if I perceived Catholicism as a religion which teaches terrorism because of their actions, not only would that not be fair or just of me, it would also show a lack of being balanced on my part. So I invite you to truly understand Islaam…
You will not find one verse in the Qur’aan legislating deliberate, violent targeting of non-combatant men, women, children, priests or rabbis, committing suicide, destroying places of worship or hijacking airplanes and flying them into buildings. In fact, Mr. Craig Winn, who I am sure you may know of due to the fact he is at the forefront at spreading misinformation and lies about Islaam, has been repeatedly challenged to bring fourth one verse from the Qur’aan to back his false claims and as of yet has not been able to do so. What one should do when quoting any verse from the Qur’aan is look at the explanation of that verse, the reason for its revelation and so on, why did you cherry pick verses but not make mention of the following verses:
“And fight in the Way of Allaah those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allaah likes not the transgressors.” (Qur’aan 2:190)
“But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in Allaah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.” (Qur’aan 8:61)
“If you do stretch your hand against me to kill me, I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear Allaah; the Lord of the 'Alameen (mankind, jinn’s, and all that exists).” (Qur’aan 5:28)
“Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity.” (Qur’aan 60:8)
So Islaam came to lift the veil of oppression and to give the people rights, and I am sure you know the state of the Pagans of Makkah when the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) started his mission, people would burry their female daughters alive. Having said all of this, if we are to continue in our dialogue then I would like to focus on one main issue, and that is the issue of believe in God, since this is the foundation of our beliefs that everything else is built upon, so if you are willing to discuss this issue and only this issue (at first) then I will be willing despite my reservations to have backs and fourths with you.
