Ah...but that's opening up a whole new can 'o worms...is it ethical to genetically fiddle with a child?
Artificial insemination is essentially what the 'Virgin birth' describes, (even holy artificial insemination is what it is) yet today, we would feel that to be as unethical as having outright intercourse with a young girl wouldn't we?
Yeah, I think you and a couple of other people need to go make a thread on what an utter piece of garbage/trash the Christian God is. Maybe it will may you feel good, knowing you have moral superiority over God.
While you are vilifying God, you can point out how super cool Mohammed was, and deserving of all the billions of worshipers who follow him to this day.

Well this was a good while back in a time when life-expectancy was very short... if you think you're gonna die at 25 you'd also be eager to get on with it
But in all seriousness.. Ghandi was a child molester, so was tons of people throughout history... maybe your neighbour is one?
Who cares? All this proves is that if Muhamed existed, he was only a human with self-control problems. Nothing new there.
Lets be glad he's dead and get on with our own life's.

I used an analogy to demonstrate that judging Muhammad's behaviour at the time of his existence by today's standards of morality is illogical.

Considering i have killed nobody, accidentally or deliberately...in that regard at the very least, I AM morally superior to anyone, or any deity who has murderd people...wouldn't you agree with that?
That goes equally for any religious organisation or the deity they worship.
It's an inescapable fact, if one considers murder to be morally and ethically wrong of course.

How come no one is getting it.
There are people around today who claim he did no wrong, BY TODAY'S STANDARDS.
They all follow the same belief set. And have killed people for so much as drawing a cartoon of the man.
Unless you're saying it was ok to rape a 9 year old and hold the opinion that today it is still acceptable, then No, he was a pedophile.

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.

Hi Muslim Here , you can chose to believe me or not , Scholars are in agreement that she was around 16 years of age.
So if you chose to take info from a website that is anti Islam then i would say bask in the ignorance.
but keep in mind 100 years ago or less here in the USA it was common to marry at the age of 16 .
this argument has been debated over for years on ATS , stop spreading rubbish .
And if you chose to debate me on this ill be more then happy to provide the evidence but even then i doubt you ill take note .

A child in most Western countries is determined to be any person up until they reach the age of 16, then they are determined to be 'mature enough to understand and appreciate the ramifications of having sex' or put another way, 'are able to offer informed consent to sexual activities', (know what they're doing sexually and can agree or decline sexual advances)
In some scandanavian countries this drops to 15 years.
So if Islam believes their prophet had sex with a child of 9 years, or 10 or 11 years..that then according to the overwhelming majority of Western countries would be considered definite child sexual abuse, as the child would not be mature enough to offer informed consent to sex, or put another way, was being sexually abused by an adult.
But...centuries ago, in a Middle eastern region things were probably a lot different in this regard...as they were obviously not as sophisticated in their laws and appreciation for Human rights back then.
There is an argument as to whether they are still, certainly in the treatment and appreciation of Women and girls they are certainly much less sophisticated than the West and the East, and still have a long way to go in terms of overall Human rights.
The conclusion is basically, it's not really anyone's business how middle eastern people treat their own people but their own...if the people don't like it, they can rise up and kill their oppressors and change their own systems...it's not any of our business.
