>(6) I know many infidels call Mohammad (God forbid) that he is child molester. This really makes us very sad and erally hurt us. Do you know that in the middle ages in Europe a child of 10, 12 years old gets married?

Well let me see a 53 year old man who marries a 6 year old girl is a child molester. And no, we know of no Eurpopean that was Allah's rasul so we except more from Allah's rasul and I suspect that these 10 and 12 year old girls were married to a 14 or 15 year old boys and not to a 53 year old wannabe prophet with 22 other wives and concubines

>(7) Do you know that before Islam, they marry their sisters and daughters and the Greek even marry their mother????? –what do you have to say about that????

And what does this have to do with the fact that Muhammad was 53 years old when he married a 6 year old?

>(8) Do you know that Mary was 11 years old when she delivered Jesus

Well she was not 6 years old and as far as we know we have no idea about the age of the holy spirit but we know that Muhammad was 53 years old when he married a 6 year old girl

>(9) Do you know that Aisha (Mohamad's wife) Father was alive and a noble man and he consented to give Aisha in marriage to the Prophet.

That does not make it right. So you tell us would you allow your 6 year old daughter to marry a 53 year old wannabe porphet with 22 other wives and concubines?

>(10) Do you know that we do not have in History any record of any enemy of Mohammad accusing him of marrying a child – why??? Because it was customary to marry of young age.

You think that if they would have protested such marriage Muhammad would have sent one of his minions to kill them as he did in the case of Asma the poet who was killed, while suckling her baby, because she thought that he was an evil man?

>(11) Do you know that Mohammad married a woman 15 years older than him, when he was 25 years old?

Bogus logic. Muhammad was 24 years old when he married Khadija and he was an adult and not a 6 year old child

>(12) Do you know that he stayed married to her 25 years before she died. And during this time he never looked at or married any woman for 25 years?

And he ended by having 23 wives and concubines
