Let’s forget about the twisted facts you present.

Would I be right if I say you are after a mono-culture for this world where all the references will be your values and standards (whatever that is)? Or, at least you would prefer your parameters to be the guiding light for most cultures and ideologies?

I am still hear posing questions and responding cos I am interested in understanding your psychology, and this discussion has been rewarding to that end.

Nevertheless for a 50 year old man to have sex with a 9 year old child is just wrong. Full stop. Whether ‘married’ or not. If she was playing with dolls she couldn’t have been that mature for her age. And in any case so what? A nine year old girl is a child. Sex with a child is wrong.

You Muslims think Mohammed was a perfect human being. Well this incident shows he wasn’t.

Are you tempted to say anyone over “18” years of age?

Well, may I inform you that the age of (sexual) consent in Japan for instance is still 13. And in the UK was perhaps as low as 10 a century ago.

Unawareness or education, to be charitable, is proving to be a factor here in this discussion. I know you will disagree, cos you always seem to know better.

Peace!

However, even if she was 9 years old, it was not something unheard of or immoral in the Makkan society of the time, and even in some societies today.

“Spare me your community-college based mutterings on logic and deductive reasoning.”

There is nothing wrong with a community college. Generally people who go to community colleges and transfer to universities do far better than those who never went to community college and went to university straight from High school.

“why would a fifty year old man WANT to marry and have sex with a child?”

It never occured to you Flanstein that thier relationship wasnt about sex? The degree to which you insist to know why he had sex with a nine years old shows your own depravity. You will not make thier relationship about sex and try to get the Muslims here to forget the fact that Muslims should marry for strategic purposes also.

Prophet Muhammed only married one considerably younger woman. The rest were older and war widows, making his marriage to Aisha the exception and not the rul. If this really were about an old man wanting to sex up young girls Aisha wouldnt be the only one you are pining about.

Doesnt his marriage have anything to do with the fact that he wanted to cement family ties between others clans of the Quarish? Abu Bakr being a respectable member of such tribes. This was so common in these days considering the nature of a tribal, desert society- marriages that formed bonds between tribes. He also married off members of his own family to members of other clans to cement the relationship between them.

Now if you can only consider the sexual relationship that went on, I wonder what your perversion is.

“A Woman is not married until she is consulted, and a virgin is not married until you have her permission.” They said, “O messenger of Allaah! And how do obtain her permission? He(Sallallaahu Alay hi Wa Sallam) said: “If she is silent.” (An taskuta)

[reported by Abu Hurayrah (r)] [Bukhaaree, Muslim, Abu Daawood, and an-Nisaa’ee]

Nonsense. The context doesn’t make right an act that is wrong. A 50 year old man having sex with a nine year old girl is just sick.

Aisha’s parents married her off themselves….she wasn’t kidnapped or forced.

I have a question to put forward to knowlegeable muslims. I have spoken to Sunni and Shia muslims and their versions of Aisha differ so vastly……….that she might as well be different people to both. Why is this?
