Part of the problem with the “child molester” angle is that back in those days, in that place, this was probably normal behavior. It has been pretty common in many times and places. It was definitely so in India, for instance, not long ago.

We can use modern standards to complain about the morals of historical figures, but thats pretty pointless. For the most part they behaved, personally, as their contemporaries expected them to.

The real issue here isn’t what Mohammed himself did. The real problem is the Muslim doctrine of the Sunnah, which is the perfection of the customs and social mores of Arabian society of the 7th century AD. That has been pernicious, destructive to Islamic societies, and probably has been the root of most of the modern worlds problems with Islam.
