What about Aisha? TO HARRAK

Harrak, I think you're forgetting that Muhummad is the one who consummated his marriage (as a 50 year old) to Aisha when she was only 9! He decided to marry her when she was 6!

After consummation, he played with her dolls with her. This proves further that Aisha was not even close to a post-Pubescent state of mind.

As for slaves, his wives were practically slaves in his own house, forced to stay concealed behind the "curtain" and eventually the veil.

You mention German tourists. Who allows this service in the first place? Who provides the young girls? An Egyptian system.

What about everywhere in Europe where old Muslim men import their teenage wives and lock them up in a third floor apartment without being able to go outside? Reports of this are extremely plentiful in Denmark, the Netherlands, and France; where justice is finally speaking out against it.

What about the old Muslim men buying young Hindu wives in Pakistan?

What about Ayatolla Khomeni saying that it was ok to have sex with children as long as you didn't hurt them?

Muhummad was no perfect being. His image is emulated by the Muslims, which is why there continues to be violence, subjugation, and unspeakable crimes in the world today.
