He is a man for all time.

cue the trolling about pedophilia or 20% war booty or something.

As I've said many other times, if the prophet was a pedophile, he would have jumped into bed with his 6 year old bride as soon as they were betrothed - as well as had a long list of other pre-pubescent brides that he regularly raped.

Instead, he waited 3 years before consumating the marriage - waited for what? Puberty perhaps? And yes, puberty can happen at 9 - but more likely, aisha's figures are off, and she was actually much older.

The Prophet broke many moulds - including marrying an older woman, and particularly, remaining happilly married in a monogamous relationship for 25 years.

Other moulds that he broke was treating his wives with respect and dignity, and most shockingly of all, using them as key advisers in military matters, and highly esteemed community leaders (over both men and women) in their own right.

The Prophet had many brides towards the end of his life, all of which were arranged in the interests of alliances and political stability. There is no shred of evidence that he was some kind of a sexual predator who raped/abused his wives.

Throughout most of history women were married as soon as they reached puberty.


So does this mean that most of men that ever lived were pedophiles?


The modern western standard of 18 is arbitrary and not based on science.

The shia claim Mohammad was "thighing" Aisha before he consummated the marriage.The ayatollah Khomeni said thighing(its like a tit bugger yet 6-9 year old children dont have breasts so the penis is rubbed between the thighs) young children is ok becuse Mohammad did it.
I accept there are serious doctrinal differences between the shia and sunni over whose hadith is reliable yet Khomeni wrote a book saying it was ok and he was the Supreme Leader of the Islamic republic of Iran.

Did Mo have a wet dream or was it a revelation from Allah that he would marry the child of his neighbor Abu Bakr?

When muslims realise how repugnant pedophilia is today then out come the she was older excuses which contradict the saheeh hadeeth of Bukhari and Muslim which said she was 9 when that dirty old man porked her.
The Islamic texts say she was 9, do you expect us to believe muslim spin or what is actually written?

Mohammad  had sex with his 9 year old wife, the Quran tells you to follow the example Mo set.

Khadija was a businesswoman,today she would be called a filthy rich cougar for having a white fat dwarf who was much younger for a husband.
Khadija would have kicked Mo's ass to the kerb if he thought he could take another wife while he was with her, she was a rich woman and he had nothing.

Muslims are only allowed to have 4 wives, why was Mo allowed to have twice as many wives as the rest of the muslims, is it good to be a self proclaimed profit?

When Mohammad got busted having sex with his coptic christian sex slave called Maria he promised his wife he would not have sex with his slave girl ever again, when he was busted shortly afterwards having sex with his slave girl again and accused of lying Allah was there in the nick of time with a verse to get him out of trouble with his wives
Quote:

That Quran verse is Allah telling Mo it is halal to have sex with your female slaves.

Mohammad had a coptic christian sex slave who gave him his only son Ibrahim who died before 2 years of age.
The Quran tells you to follow the example Mohammad set which means owning christian slaves and having sex with them is halal.
Does the Universal declaration of human rights outlaw slavery?

Throughout most of history women were married when they reached puberty. Were most of the men who ever lived pedophiles?

Just because some government says that people can't be married before 18 does that make it right?


The prophet did not live with Aisha until she reached puberty.


This was nothing unusual. Women all over the world would marry and live with their husbands when they reached puberty until very recently.


And those who think that puberty starts at 18 are wrong.

If you would like to look at it in a scientific rational manner then you will find that girls reaching puberty at 9 is considered within the normal range.

Baron, Khomenei's "thighing" claim seems to be a fake.
