Islam: Religion of pedophiles?

Despite efforts by human rights activists to end the barbaric practice of child marriage, Muslim men will continue to marry girls under the age of 15 in Saudi Arabia.
The push to raise the legal age of marriage to 15 was crushed after the Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh, the most senior religious authority in the country, ruled that Islam supports men marrying underage girls.
The Grand Mufti ruled that it’s acceptable for men to marry girls under the age of 15, despite strenuous efforts by human rights activists and the Saudi justice ministry to set 15 as a minimum age for brides in the kingdom.

Grand Mufti Abdulaziz declared there is nothing prohibiting Muslim men from marrying girls under the age of 15. Abdulaziz is president of the Supreme Council of Ulema (Islamic scholars) and chairman of the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Issuing Fatwas, which makes him the final authority in Saudi Arabia on Islamic teachings.

In Saudi Arabia, Muslim clerics have been fighting a successful battle to preserve the legal right of men to marry underage girls. In recent years reformists have been working to prevent and prohibit the abhorrent and barbaric practice of child marriage sanctioned by so many Islamic scholars. However, attempts to prohibit child marriage has met strong and sustained resistance by many Muslim scholars.
For example, in 2011, Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, issued a fatwa asserting that there is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.”
Most Muslim scholars in support of child marriage note that nowhere does Sharia (or Islamic law) set an age limit for marrying girls.
However, perhaps most significant, and the biggest challenge to those attempting to reform Islam, and put an end to child marriage sanctioned by so many Islamic scholars, is the fact that Muhammad, Islam’s role model, married Aisha when she was only six or seven, and “consummated” the marriage when she was nine.
[size=18pt]For many Muslims, to condemn child marriage is to condemn Muhammad.[/size] In Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere in the Muslim world, this is simply too much to ask. Bottom-line: underage girls continue to suffer.

Pastor Led Son’s Gay Wedding, Revealing Fault Line in Church

References from Islamic sources offer “four lines of evidence” to fortify the fact that Aisha was nine.



Mention of the precise age: These hadiths explicitly and repeatedly specify that she was nine years old, when Muhammad had sex with her.
Playing with dolls: Hadiths also say that Aisha was playing with dolls when she got married, and only children would play with dolls, not full-blown adults. Moreover, Muhammad did not allow playing with dolls beyond the age of puberty.
Waiting three years to consummate marriage: Hadiths also repeatedly affirm that Muhammad waited three years before having sex with Aisha. This again proves that she was as young as 6 or 7, and was not yet ready for intercourse. So, Muhammad, being a considerate prophet-like person, waited three years to consummate the marriage.
Thighing: The fourth line of evidence comes from the prophet’s practice of thighing on Aisha, as issued by the Iranian scholars committee. To the query, “What is the opinion of scholars [on thighing] knowing full well that the prophet, the peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, also practiced the "thighing" of Aisha – the mother of believers – may Allah be please with her”, the committee carried out extensive research and issued this fatwa: “After the committee studied the issue, they gave the following reply: “As for the prophet, peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, thighing his fiancée Aisha. She was six years of age and he could not have intercourse with her due to her small age. That is why [the prophet] peace and prayer of Allah be upon him placed HIS MEMBER (i.e. penis) BETWEEN HER THIGHS AND MASSAGED IT SOFTLY, as the apostle of Allah had control of his [male] member not like other believers...”

Sheikh Ahmad Al Katani gave Aljazeera T.V. the following facts and figures: “In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity.” (note that even two professors and Imams of Egypt’s most prestigious Al Azhar University, Dr. Mustafa (now Mark Gabriel) and Dr. Mohammad Rahoumy (now Dr. Samuel Paul) have left Islam, because of the unacceptable teachings of the Koran.)

Annunaki:


[s]You seem like a decent little boy if not for your obsession with islam. I know you must have been brainwashed from birth that islam is the right path but after you grew up and discovered that your 'prophet' (whom the quoran lied to you is the best of man kind) was a armed robber, paedophile, rapist, murderer, adulterer, sex maniac, liar and psychopath. why did you choose to still accept such a vile character as a prophet? Is it just pride or arrogance? Or is it fear of rejection and apotasy by your islamic community? Why do you choose to remain in bondage and satanic oppression when it's so glaring that mohamed and islam is a fraud[/s]

true2god:
While the bible condemned homosexuals, lesbians, sodomy, effeminate and all forms of sexual impurity, any so-called christian doing that is doing so in complete violation of nature and the Judeo-christian scriptures. On the other hand, any muslim that marry a 6 year old is in compliance with the sunnah of the islamic prophet. Hope you get the difference.

Are you now placing way-ward people and mohammed in the same moral pedastal? Anyway, there is no much difference between mohammed and the gay pastor you just mentioned.
