The question is whether Ayesha was six or nine at the time of her marriage. But both accounts say he waited until she was nine to consumate the marriage. There is no controversy over when he molested her, just when he married her.

That is not what I heard. I don't think the texts reveal when he consummated the marriage, if ever. But maybe what I heard is wrong. My comment above remains applicable however in my view.

The Koran(Quaran) plainly states to go forward and kill the infidels. Even if the "enemy" surrenders, it states to kill the infidels for Allah. If anyone questions that, simply search and read it yourself. As far as whatever else is said, it doesn't matter. The so called "peaceful religion" has got some major internal issues.

It doesn't matter what was legal, now or then, because just imagine a 50 year old man having sexual relations with a 9 year old girl. Can you imagine how painful it would have been for her, how scary, how completely unwanted and invasive? A 9 year old! A child! It is not natural and is cruel, physically and emotionally. Any man who would satisfy himself this way is selfish, brutal and SICKO.

Well, that was very big of him to wait--oops, maybe I should have said, that was very nice of him to wait. I do not know if he was demon possessed or not, but whatever else Mr. Vines said, was dead right on. To he-- with the PC crowd.
