She was married at 6...
Before Muhammed could penetrate her he would rub his member on her...
6 years old when he took her from her family she brought her dolls with her...
At 9 years old her penetrated her...
Not 12 or older...
I am not saying all Muslims practice pedophilia now or then...
But Muhammed did...
By today's standards even 12 is not an age acceptable to many at all...
Sure back then people are said to have a shorter life span....
People can make all kinds of excuses for why it was acceptable...
The most popular seems to be that she was 12 years old...
But she was married at 6 and had been penetrated at 9... Not 12 years old...
In waring cultures this average age was greatly determined by war I'm sure starvation and disease played their part...
But in these waring cultures that would kill looking into the eye of their enemies they overtook the domain of those who were successfully beaten in war....
There goes the majority of the healthy men of mature age... That would mostly leave the old and the young....
Perhaps the land was suitable for capture as a functioning new trade route or was suitable for desired habitation... That is if it was not destroyed in the war most likely by fire... Or if it was not simply destroyed after the battle as further sign of dominance and further insult or symbol of the Victor's power...
That leaves the young and the old and the riches...
You can be sure the riches were not destroyed except for written records these too were destroyed for many reasons but to rob someone of the treasured past to remove all traces of them was absolutely something that was done foolishly by all...But everything and anything else of value was taken as treasure...
The young and the old remain... Unless the old person was from a wealth or powerful bloodline or had a valued skill or great knowledge... Well they were not useful as slaves they were too old to even fight...They were then destroyed like the written history...
So the young remained...Now they could still be formed as the young mind is pliable and young they would have been... Far too weak to fight so they were no physical threat...
They would have been treasure in the form of slaves or possible future soldiers... And a good many of the enslaved would have been used sexually...
At any rate people bought slaves that were capable most wanted something in particular for their money... So these young children were raised for a time before sale... And the girls sold for sex slaves were sold also as breeding stock...And would therefore have been wanted to be fertile capable of giving birth...
This would be highly uncommon for the majority of 9 year old girls... Then even if the 9 year old was capable her body would have to be considered for if she was tiny she would most likely die in childbirth...
This would be seen as a waste of money and aside from the loss of the mother who could have numerous other children the child too may die from trauma...
Make no mistake they were savages in many ways but they were not retarded and the had their own beliefs of what was acceptable...
9 year old girls were not favorable for sexual relations except for by the those whom would be considered depraved even then...
What I'm saying is he was just as sick then as he is now...
Like I said I'm not calling all Muslims child molesters I don't see why everybody is lumping all the Christians from then into the same light...
Because sexual maturity was the passage to adulthood back then 12 years old is a good approximation...
Most muslims and Jews and the sparse christians would have been doing what was right for that time and taking 12 and up...
But not Muhammad and other sick individuals of the Era... Be they muslim Jew or Christian not to mention any other religions....Nope they were practicing pedophilia just like Muhammad...

But again, you're defining them as "children". Were they children according to the time they were born?
Also, 'paedophilia' is a sexual preference for prepubescents, something hopefully everyone agrees is not good. But that isn't what we're talking about here.
I'm just trying to dig into your reasoning. It is bad because they're children, and they're children because they're a specific age?
Is it simply a matter of a number in your mind? It can't be.
Or is it that "I consider a person of age 12 today to be too immature or childish to even possibly be capable of making a decision regarding such a thing, so it must have been the same throughout history"?
Let me put it another way- if we had some magical way of knowing if a person had already hit puberty, and of sound mind to such an extent so as to be able to validly consent to marriage/sexual intercourse, would it be immoral still?
Adult - Biological Adulthood
Although few or no established dictionaries provide a definition for the two word term biological adult, the first definition of adult in multiple dictionaries includes "the stage of the life cycle of an animal after reproductive capacity has been attained".[2][3] Thus, the base definition of the word adult is the period beginning at puberty. Although this is the primary definition of the base word adult, the two word term biological adult stresses or clarifies that the original definition, based on the beginning of puberty, is being used.

Yikes, this should be interesting:
All cases of an adult having sexual relations with a nine year old child is a case of child molestation.
Muhamed was an adult who had sexual relations with nine year old child.
Therefore, Muhamed was a child molester.
This is the argument. The only way to prove the conclusion wrong is to show that one or both of the premises is false.

Well let's be fair...if you go back 700+ years , everyone's ancestors were pediaphiles. Including nearly every major figure from the bible.
Now I personally am in the camp that thinks we SHOULD NOT be excusing nor glorifying the immoral acts of previous generations.
Sure the founding fathers created America, but they were also mainly slave owning rapists.
That said I am quite sure the Jesus being transgendered is an insane stretch. About to read the site now.
According to YOUR INTERPRETATION. Biologically WHEN you hit puberty you are not a child anymore. SO its actually dishonest to call them pedophiles or child molestors.
Also Not all the founding fathers were slave owners. And Do you got any proof of them being rapist? Back that up.
You do realize you just said it was ok to have sex with a child, as long as they had entered puberty, right.....
Back in the past they were raised this way and they didnt see it as rape due to SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES. Death was very high back then. Youre not getting the distinction between Pre pubesent and pubesent.
Back in biblical times lifespans were very short due to disease,war,and social standing. To overcome the death rate it was each persons duty to procreate. Your people back then were way way smarter than todays versions. A 12 year old of intelligence back then will be mentally older if they were tested by todays standards.
You are so hung up on the laws of today you refuse to see. THEY DID NOT SCREW AROUND WITH GIRLS WHO WERE NOT BIOLOGICALLY READY BACK THEN. (caps for easy comprehension)
In MODERN TIMES though its NOT OK. but your saying it was wrong back then is just wrong because times and circumstances were not equal.
I'm hung up on laws?!?!
I'm the one saying that the law is irrelevant, and that right and wrong persist reguardless of whatever random laws were the flavor of the month....
Your the one saying since it was legal, it was cool...
We haven't needed to bang 12 year olds (some women start before then, some as young as 8 or9...some earlier than that.)
"For the survival of the species" since cave man days. Yet we continued having sex with children until what? 100/150 years ago???
So banging children for the "survival of the species" stopped 10,000 plus years ago, but it was still cool if you did last century.????
Oh and how do we know Mohammad's wife wasn't an early bloomer? According to you "if she bleeds, she breeds". So what if she had already started at 9? Then it's absolutely cool, huh?
Oh nope, it was cool for all your ancestors to rape children, but if the Muslims do it, they are evil and must be destroyed..
The hypocracy of some people is truly astounding...at least be consistent in your beliefs...

Actually, biologial adulthood has always meant the onset of puberty.
A simple search brings up the wikipedia article on it:

If you don't trust that, feel free to check up the references it mentions: The International Dictionary of Medicine and Biology, and Churchill's Medical Dictionary.
But again, to clarify further, given your new post. It seems your issue is then with whether the person would be physically harmed (organ damage or some such thing) through sexual relations, and THAT is why it is immoral?

The problem here is that it was 800 AD or there abouts. And the middle east. Pedophilia was still an unformed concept back then. You can't judge a historical figure by today's standards. It's a bit like giving Doc Brown from Back to the Future a speeding ticket for 90 mph.. When he was in the 1800's . Before there was a law or even public disapproval on the subject.

You MISSED my final sentence. I said IN MODERN TIMES its not right as in "against the law" Back in the anchient times THERE WAS NO LAWS PROHIBITING IT.
And according to most witnesses to Thomas jefferson He would not had forced his slaves to do anything they didnt want to do. Strange i know. I dont fault all of humanitys ancestors for keeping the species alive.
Also Im not advocating for muslims to die either. now terrorist can go die in a fire but average muslims are all right by me so where you claim hypocracy there is none. MOdern children are not as smart as ones from back in the past.
Modern children are lazy,weak,and woudnt know real work if they were slapped with it. Is this mean? yes it is but its true.
Also I do not appreciate your insinuation of me being OK with pedophilia. Im not. I do not fault the past peoples like you are doing because back then it wasnt a crime and as such I will not convict the dead. get off your high horse,theres a log in your eye.

The problem is a lot of people who belive in Islam belive in "if it good enough for him its good enough for me"

What's the point of a period?

I'm not debating your source, but I'm still calling BS.....
A 12 year old is OBVIOUSLY not a physical adult at the onset of puberty. Puberty is the starting line, Not the finish.
Also might be an issue of technical term vs implied meaning...
A scientific theory is totally different from, if I tell you my favorite conspiracy theory.

The problem I have is choice. A child entering puberty has no way to understand the ramifications of having sex.

So if he raped her the day after she started her period it would have been cool?
Is it somehow better to rape a 12 year old, rather then a ten year old???
That's what your post is saying....

Oh dear...this isn't going to be one of those "Evolution is just a theory" things, is it?
A biological adult, is literally, yes, defined as someone who has hit puberty. That is the definition. What you are referring to is the legal or social concept of an adult. And that has changed regularly throughout history.

Alright, that's fine, that is exactly what I was asking you before you shifted over to the biology of it all. So repeating my previous post, putting the point about biology behind us,

Also, as a side note, as I mentioned before, paedophilia is a psychiatric condition- a sexual attraction to prepubescent children- i.e. someone who has not yet hit puberty. This is again, the hard science, not a made up definition.
