four wives ...

Ms Angela - mohammad had eleven wives (through a 'special' arrangement with allah) - one of them was 6 years old when he 'signed' the contract and 9 years old when 'sealed' the deal - he also 'possessed' a number of concubines who were nothing but the booty of war - the widows or daughters of murdered 'enemies' - he frequently raped these women before taking 'possession' of his prizes. You have to give up reading Karen Armstrong and take a look at Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah for the real low-down on mohammad and islam and allah.
