Following are excerpts from a religious program presented by Egyptian cleric Sheik Abdallah Kamal, which aired on Safa TV on January 9, 2012:
Abdallah Kamal: I mentioned yesterday that the Prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old, and had sexual intercourse with her when she was nine years old. People might raise an eyebrow and ask how such a thing could be.
This hadith has been taken, by people with ulterior motives, and by people who hate the Prophet Muhammad whether Christians, Orientalists, or even some Muslims They, however, made a great mistake, and in their efforts to defend the Prophet Muhammad and although we think highly of them they made a very dangerous mistake, and attributed a falsehood to Imam Al-Bukhari, and made him appear to have made a mistake.
In an effort to ingratiate themselves upon human rights organizations, they denied that the Prophet Muhammad married Aisha, mother of the believers, at such a young age. Some of the malevolent people, like the deceiver, Zakariya [Boutrus] and [the prophet Zakariya] has nothing to do with him took that hadith and accused the Prophet Muhammad of being a child rapist. We say to him: Shut up. May Allah silence you, cut off your tongue, and destroy the very foundations of your being, for you are leveling accusations against the master of humanity, the beloved of God, the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.

This [union] was decreed by Allah, and therefore, the Prophet Muhammad only married Aisha because of a decree by Allah.
[ ]
The marriage of Aisha, mother of the believers to the Prophet Muhammad, was not her first marriage. She was betrothed, even before that, to Jubayr ibn Mut'im. Before the Prophet Muhammad married her, Aisha was betrothed to Jubayr ibn Mut'im.

The environment differs from one place to another, from one climate to another, and from one country to another. In some countries, a girl reaches puberty at the age of 8 or 9. Moreover, religious scholars have written, in the books of jurisprudence that a girl may menstruate and even give birth at the age of 9 years. She can give birth at the age of 9 years.
Okay. So where is this cruelty and barbarism they are talking about? How can they claim that the Prophet Muhammad only cared about his desire and his lust? What is this obvious deception?

In warm places, girls reach puberty at a very early age generally at the age of 8 years. In cold places, girls' puberty is delayed until the age of 21 years as is the case in some cold countries.

Where do you stand with regard to the wedding of Joseph the Carpenter, who, as you write in your own holy books, married the Virgin Mary when she was only 12 years old and he was 90 years old? Is it not written in your books? Read your own holy scripture. Joseph the Carpenter was 90 years old, while Mary was 12 years old. Why don't you denounce this?!

Perverts defending perverts makes Islam what it is.
Horrible so-called prophet. Horrible so-called religion. Horrible legacy. Islam will eventually have to be wiped off the face of the earth, or we will be.
Finally, a rational explanation for why Scandinavian teenagers are so sexually unappealing. /s
To those girls victimized by this ideology - I would say it means more than just “a thing”, nor would I attempt to convince them that it doesn't mean a thing.
But good luck with that!
It's over in Jude 3:21
9 years old?.....he had sex with a 9 year old girl?.....and that’s OK with them?.....they even defend it?.....unbelievable.
Moslems no doubt use it to subjugate women.
That should encourage Christian missionaries to arm themselves when dealing with these people. Anyone who uses child rape or stories about how good it is to keep women in line with such tales is a hopeless barbarian who cannot be trusted.
That's nuts right there!
This is not arguing both sides of the question- it is pointing out that your minority view is irrelevant to what a billion Muslims believe and practice.
i cant find jude 3:21
LOL. Yeah, I think that is the joke.
nice.
What they believe is more than irrelevant. It is wrong and leads to conclusions contrary to reality.
Haji is still trying to justify what Mo’s marriage. And I don’t mean Mo of Larry Mo and curly.
What Muslims believe is quite relevant to the prepubescent girls married off to old men throughout the Muslim world.
It is correct that cult leaders often sexually abuse the members of their cult - often children. The conclusion is that given the power some men would prefer to continue this practice - and that is in accord, rather than contrary, to reality.
Sorry your ‘Muhammed wasn't really a pedophile’ is not accepted by the vast majority of the Islamic world - nor is it likely to be accepted here - and even if true it wouldn't make much difference because a billion people believe it and practice it.
There's a good case that can be made for Mohammad not having existed at all.
If so then what is believed about a fictional character - based upon the writings about that fictional character - are WHAT and WHO that fictional character is - in this case a pedophile.
May as well try to claim that King Arthur, if he did exist, wasn't really the son of Uther Pendragon, and didn't really marry Guenevere!
That is ridiculous!
St. Gildas also existed ~ his church is just across the way from what amounts to our family ancestral home ~ which he also built about 1500 years ago.
Do you dare doubt King Ad?
This Mohammad guy has no contemporaneous accounts ~ the whole story was put together many years after his death in Damascus.
It wasn't about if King Arthur is actually real or mythical - it is your splitting the difference that you are not at all sure if Mohammed existed or not, but you are absolutely sure that if he DID exist - he didn't molest Aisha!
Similarly I could say that if King Arthur DID exist - he wasn't really the son of Uther Pendragon - that was all made up after the fact.
Do you see how idiotic and ridiculous that sound?
Apparently not!
