Ok, Brainiacs.  So Nohas sons has wives.  Who did those children procreate with?  The only options are: Grandparents, Parents, Siblings, and/or cousins.  Incest, incest, incest.  Gross.  You are morons.

Yes....isn't it shameful?\n\nSahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:\n'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.\n\nSahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64\nNarrated 'Aisha:\nthat the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).\n\nSahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65\nNarrated 'Aisha:\nthat the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that 'Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death)."

No, it's not unrealistic.  My understanding of Jewish law at that time was that it was expected if him to marry and have children.  Why it's considered such sacrilige for that to have happened is confusing to me. Just because the Bible didn't mention it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

how dare you\n\nno its not the truth\n\nhe did NOT marry a six year old\nAisha was NOT 6, she was 9!!\nand that just shows the differences between the social structure of now and then. Now it seems weird to us that he married a nine year old, but then it was perfectly normal. If they were to look ahead at us and at what age we usually married, they would be SHOCKED that we married at ages 18-30\n\nI congratulate you for at least being a person of the book (Muslim, christian, Jew) But if you were a REAL christian you wouldn't believe or say any of this nonsense. if that is how you feel you should keep it to yourself OR why don't you just join all those other polytheistic non believers?\n\nWHAT IS WITH ALL YOU CHRISTIANS HERE!?\nWHY DO YOU FIND SUCH WRONG IN ONE OF THE RELIGIONS OF THE BOOK.\nIF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND JESUS, you wouldn't be saying any of this. Believe what you want to, think what you want, just don't Say things like this\n\nNO, the Koran DOESN'T encourage stuff like that, almost every Muslim in America has at LEAST 5 friends that aren't Muslim, and they don't go cutting their throats in the middle of the night!\nYou guys, Please learn the truth!!!!\n\nwww.thisisislam.islamacademy.com\nWatch this, its good for you.

Nah, I think it is crazy to think that you (or whomever!) would be punished for being raped by an underage person. It isn't as if you initiated the sex and it was non-consensual so you really couldn't be prosecuted.

Personally, I do not believe that we need to change the commandments for this. While the woman will have lost her virginity after being raped, the Christian religion is not supposed to hold it against them. This is what the Bible says about rape.\nBut if in the field the man finds the girl who is engaged, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this case. (Deut. 22:26-27)\nBasically the Bible indicates that there is no sin on behalf of the girl. This does not mean that the girl cannot marry after this, nor does it mean that she should start a life of promiscuity, though many do because they feel it doesn't matter anymore. The Bible states that the man who forces her should pay the consequences, not the woman. I would think that the church is supposed to treat them as a virgin since they really had no choice in the matter. I do not see a reason to change the commandments on this, the Bible says the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Absolutely, also a pedofile, some of his wives were under 10 years of age.  One was 8 years old.  He advocated a rein of terror.  Mostly towards women.

If you really love her, let her be the child she is and just leave her alone.\n\nIn the United States, we have Statutory Rape laws which indicate that sex, consentual or not with someone under the age of 18 is considered rape or child molestation punishable by prison sentence.\n\nConsider that they say that people who are sent to jail convicted of rape or molestation are beaten up by fellow inmates, or, worse, raped by them, that should be incentive enough to look for love elsewhere.\n\nSecond of all, cousins should not get sexually involved because, genetically, there is a high propensity for inbreeding and birth defects in their children.  This is why we have laws and cultural taboos against marrying within families.\n\nLeave this poor child alone and look for love somewhere else.  For her sake and for yours.

He married a girl (I think her name was Aisha) at six and consummated the marriage at 9. Because Muhammod did this, some Muslim men practice this today. \n\nThis should be condemned. A child's body is not ready for sex at that age. Poor little girl.

He was 57, she was:\n\n“the prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/062.sbt.html#007.062.064

I don't remember where, but I read a case where a few females held down this 13-year old and got on top of him until he came because one of them wanted a kid.  It was quite sad, and the kid suffered pretty extensive mental damage.\n\nRape means unwilling.  With enough physical stimulation, you can make almost anyone have an orgasm.  It's still rape, though.

Before God spoke to Joseph in a dream, Joseph had only three choices.\n\n1. Marry a woman who he thought got pregnant by another man. Joseph, being a just man, could not live with this perceived betrayal. \n\n2. Expose Mary publicly and have her stoned to death. It was considered adultery even though they were only engaged.\n\n3. Put her away quietly. People would assume that the child was not his but Mary would not be stoned to death. This was the lesser of three evils.\n\nWith love in Christ.

No, the Prophet did not marry 40 wives. He had nine wives and later were reduced to 4 after a command came in the Quran that 4 was the limit for those who can be fair, if not just one wife. Yes, his youngest wife was Aisha, and some reports imply she was 9 at the time but her age is a subject of debate amongst some Muslims. Many suggest she was older than that. \n\nNow, I don't understand why Mohammed's marriages are singled out when 1400 yrs ago this practice (polygamy and young marriage) was very common and accepted. You will not find any negative criticism even amongst his enemies of his time on this subject at all because he was very modest compared to them and the norms of society he lived in. Even Aisha had a suiter before Mohammed but things didn't work as planned, proof it was not uncommon. Mohammed's first marriage that is always overlooked was when he was 25 and his wife (a widow) was 15 yrs older than him. He had all his children from her and her death was one of the saddest moments of his life as she was the dearest person to him. \n\nHe remarried (10 yrs later after his wife's death) for the sake of spreading Islam .All his wives after that were a witness to the fact that no wife of his was more dear to him than his first wife (khadija). \n\n\nAs for Aisha she was the only virgin wife he had as the rest were either divorced, widows, older than him, had kids, ... We Muslims do not view Aisha as the (9 year old) she was young but you would have never guessed that as she was articulate, smart, and very mature, she became the first female scholar in Islam and contributed to the wealth of knowledge we know today in Islam for her contribution in narrating a huge collection of the hadith. She died in her early 50's and use to lecture men and women about Islam after Mohammed's death..she even waged a war in her lifetime.\n\nAlso, if you take a look at the bible, you'll get to know that Prophet David, Jacob, Moses, and Solomon who was said to have hundreds(1 Kings 11:3) , polygamy was common amongst messengers of God. Even when Islam allows up to 4 wives less than 1% in the Islamic world actually practice it, and majority are in monogamous marriages. \n\nHere you can read more on this subject:\n\nThe Prophet's Multiple Marriages: Why?\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503546160\n\n\nMuhammad's Wives (collective of links)\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/English/introducingislam/Prophet/ProphetWives/index.shtml\n\n\nGood day! and salaam.

No he wasn't a paedophile. It was simply the culture.  There are still societies today that arrange marriages when the girl is quite young and the man is older by like 20 years. It's normal for them.  If the girl is still very young then the couple doesn't consumate the marriage until she is more mature.\nFor instance, the reason why Muhammad didn't consumate the marriage to Ayesha when he first married her was because she was far too young and also she hadn't hit puberty. She hit puberty at age 9 and therefore was now accountable for sins also (belief in islam) wheeas before she wasn't. He wasn't a paedophile for consumating the marriage at that age because the culture was such.  In both Muslim and Jewish societies this practice was common and today in many villages it still is.
