That's like comparing God and Satan; there's no comparison. Jesus is truth; Mohammad is a liar.

You can find similarities between anybody. I feel a better comparison would be with Hitler.Well let's see so far..
(1) both Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ sought solitude..
(2) both had twelve disciples...
(3) both were rebuked by the established religious order..
(4) both were reviled and cursed...
I feel this image is mandatory for this thread.
Have you see the "ConversationWithA" channel on youtube? A monthly compilation of atrocities from around the world committed in the name of religions.

Which will no doubt neglect the buckloads of good deeds carried out in the name of religions. Religion can be a force for good as well as bad.
Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:To allege "rape" in the case of Aisha is I think highly irregular and inappropriate. Her marriage with Muhammad was approved by her father Abu Bakr and after an engagement to marry another person Jubayr ibn Mut'im had already been broken because she was a Muslim.
If you'd like to seriously discuss the issue of the age of Aisha that is an area that is somewhat controversial...
People did not have birthdays as we do today in our culture and there was not a standard calendar ... there fore some of the ages of the persons at this time is largely questionable..
We do not know for sure when Prophet Muhammad was born...
According to tradition the first wife of the Prophet Khadijih was married to Him for twenty years and she bore Him it is believed at least three children...some believe she had three children from a previous marriage..but in any event having children after forty years of age would seem to be unusual when most had children quite early so the age of Khadijih is questionable.
and note the following Hadith re. the age of Aisha:
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 465:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I had seen my parents
following Islam since I attained the age of
puberty. Not a day passed but the Prophet
visited us, both in the mornings and evenings. My
father Abii Bakr thought of building a mosque in
the courtyard of his house and he did so. He
used to pray and recite the Qur'án in it. The
pagan women and their children used to stand by
him and look at him with surprise. Abu Bakr was
a Softhearted person and could not help weeping
while reciting the Quran. The chiefs of the
Quraish pagans became afraid of that (i.e. that
their children and women might be affected by
the recitation of Quran)."
(Hadith, Bukhari Vol 1)
The above tradition suggests that Aisha had reached the age of puberty while she still lived with her parents before the marriage with the Prophet. Since Muhammad left Mecca in 622 A.D. and all accounts agree that the marriage was not consummated until two years after the hijra, around 624 A.D. Aisha must have been older than supposed.
If you'd like to read further on the subject see:

Hadith traditions vary and were gathered a hundred years after the events in question hence they can only be taken as verbal traditions...
"So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves."
-Numbers 31:17,18
^^ Stuff like that and Muhammad's marriage to a minor were really common back in the day and both those examples are good reasons that we can't blindly follow everything we find in an ancient religious book or that might be attributed to a famous religious leaders.
that's really neat, but we aren't under the OT but the NEW, so invalid argument
