How many people are aware that mohamed (writer of islam) married a 9 year old girl when he was in his 50's?

I am not going to answer about the 9 year old wife of the prophet Mohamed because I know nothing about it. Instead I would like to direct my opinion to AIRASAE. \n\nAirasae, this is an open public discussion and anything can be expected out of it except lewd and foul contents. Nobody is trashing or crushing anybody. If one man's truth can not be your truth just give them logical answers instead of paranoia. If some disturbing questions would rise up against Islam, every muslim would say that Islam is being crushed. Have you ever noticed the countless time Christianity have been crushed with words, thoughts and bombs. But what comes into our minds would often seek the answers to a belief different from ours. \n\nThey say Islam is a religion of peace, but look around you. Bombs here, bombs there and bombs everywhere not even the third world was spared. If western cable companies report what transpires in the muslim world, you say that they do biased reporting. Do you think respectable, world class cable TV stations stay a long time if the world will know that they are trying to do false reporting? They will be out of business in no time. \n\nIf Islam is really a religion of peace truth will surely come out and no one can ever stop it. So, why so worried, be paranoid and overprotective when you can't do anything about it because people have eyes to see, ears to hear and brains to analyze and finally decide. \n\nIf I were a muslim, the first thing I would do is to really try to understand why innocent people including women and children are being targeted. This is not Jihad, this is a crime against humanity. Just imagine the whole muslim world went crazy over a cartoon made by one dumb christian and yet nobody gets crazy over what suicide bombers are doing. How Ironic can it be?   \n\nIf christians would bomb public places with no exactly logical target but innocent people, I would voice out a loud cry to go against those who perpetrates such crime because it simply is not acceptable. I will protest against my fellow christian suicide bombers until my people will get the message and join the protest because to me they are not freedom fighters but mere criminals. Do you see why we don't have such martyrs? It is because to us they will never be martyrs nor freedom fighters nor jihad fighters because to the Christian world, it will always be a heinous crime if they will kill muslims that way and every christian soul knows that.\n\n\nTO BEYOND EVENT\n\nShould I believe because you said so? Read between the lines. If ever it really happened because you said so, then you have first hand knowledge not me. If you are a muslim, educate me for being so naive. Collateral damage was coined in the 20th century and made popular by Mr. Schwartzenegger and it was a nice movie. I just wonder what they call it during Napoleon's time.

It is very doubtful that Muhammed engaged in sexual activity with the girl until she was sexually mature.  It was not uncommon during that time make a marriage between and older man and a young girl, however; one of 2 things happened.  Either the girl was given a house with servants to take care of her until she was mature enough to take on the duties of her husband or she was married to her husband and then lived in the house of her father until she matured sexually.\n\nHow is that for an answer.

No, they are accurate.  Sorry, even back then 9 was still to young to have sex and 6 was WAY too young to get married.  I am thinking the age was 11 or 12 to be considered an adult and be married.

Safiyah was a 17 yr. old Jewish woman who was caputured by the Muslims. Her father and husband were killed by the Muslims. She was very beautiful and the prophet Muhammand took her into his tent and tried to make advances towards her.  The prophet was 57 yrs old and Safiyah rejected him several times. Upon trying again and again, Muhammand finally succeeded with Safiyah. The prophet then commenced to  proceed with the wedding the next day and they were married.

u don't know nothing about ISLAM or PROPHET MOHAMMED OR HIS LIFE FROM ANY SIDE ,,\nu have to know this  GREAT MAN be4 u talk like ignorant about HIM\nTHEN U READ QURAN AND HADITHS,,COUZ ALL U SAID IS JUST 100%IGNORANCE ,,\nFIRST MEET THIS MAN\nDo you know this man?\n \n \n \nEncyclopedia Britannica confirms: "...a mass of detail in the early sources shows that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were likewise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12) \n\n            George Bernard Shaw said about him: " He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness". (The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol.1, No.8, 1936) \n\n            He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come. \n\n            "HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD" May Peace of God Be Upon Him (PBUH) \n\n            He was born in Arabia in the year 570 C.E. (common era), started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One God at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three. \n\n            During this short period of 23 years of his prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES. \n\n            Lamartine, the renowned historian, speaking on the essentials of human greatness, wonders: "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls...his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words. \n\n            Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. \n\n            As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE? (Lamartine, Historire de la Turquie, Paris, 1854, Vol. II pp. 276-277) \n\n            The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two field, su

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)."

"the truth always remains as a minority view and grows only slowly" ... I totally agree with you .. because that's exactly what happened in Islam ..\n\nMuslims were very few .. one man (14 centuries ago).. and look around you .. how many millions Muslims are now (nearly one billion).. \n\nso if Islam was not a good religion it wouldn't have continued all these years .. at least its followers would have been getting less not increasing .. its followers would have left it .. but this didn't happen .. \n\nAnd about the growth of the Muslims due to High birth rates .. i think you may be right in case if you are talking about Muslim countries .. but i wonder if that is the case in European countries .. \n\nand please tell me if Islam is that desease you are talking about .. how come women, European women to be exact, are converting to Islam with big numbers .. is it because they want to be slaves .. or because they felt they will be more free within Islam ..\n\nI'm a Modern Muslim Girl and i assure you that there is no religion on earth treats woman better than Islam .. \n\nIslam equals man and woman in everything, duties, rewards and punishments .. Islam says that woman is free to use her money as she wishs .. that she keeps her family name and never be named after her huspand's family .. to work or not (as she wishs) .. to say her opinion when getting married (to accept or refuse) and if she refused , marriage is considered null or invalid .. and much much more ..\n\nif you want to know how Islam treats women follow these links:\n\nResources for and about Muslim Women:\nhttp://jannah.org/sisters/\n\nTHE STATUS OF WOMAN IN ISLAM\nBy Jamal A. Badawi\nhttp://www.iad.org/books/S-women.html\n\nAnd if you want to know why muslims believe so much that Islam is the true religion .. follow these links .. and tell me that these are lies:\nhttp://www.iad.org/books/S-women.html\nhttp://www.55a.net/firas/english/index.php\n\nI'm very religious .. but the last two websites when i navigated throw them and made sure that the information within them is true .. I had no doubt that i'm on the right way ..\n\nI hope i answered your question .. and i truely wish you find peace ..

Peace on you....He never once engaged in sex outside of marriage, nor did he ever approve of it, even though it was very common at the time. His only relationships with women were in legitimate, contractual marriages with proper witnesses according to law. His relationship to Ayesha was only that of marriage. He did not marry her the first time her father offered her hand to him in marriage. He married her only after she reached the age of puberty and could decide for herself. Their relationship is described in every detail by Ayesha herself in the most loving and respectful manner as a match truly made in heaven. Ayesha is considered as one of the highest scholars of Islam and lived out her entire life only having been married to Muhammad, peace be upon him. She never desired any other man, nor did she ever utter a single negative statement against Muhammad, peace be upon him. May Allah bless us.

Not at all. Forget about one year u can marry 20 years younger man. It is a matter of your choice. Most of Holy Prophet ( PBUH) wives were older than him. Allah ( God) gives u complete authority to choose your partner

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.
