[QUOTE="JosephZ, post: 74077769, member: 396496"] Is this kind of talk really necessary? Muhammad's marriage to Aisha wasn't unusual at the point in history that it took place. Prearranged and Child marriages were common among all societies at that time and Christians and Jews were practicing this centuries before Islam existed. Child marriages continue even today in many cultures. Even in the US, my home country, marriage to children as young as 7 was allowed in the state of Delaware less than 150 years ago. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_reform']Over the course of American history, the most commonly observed age of consent was 10 years. In 1880, 37 states had an age of consent of 10 years while 10 states kept an age of consent at 12, and Delaware maintained its age of consent at seven years, having lowered it from 10 in 1871.[/URL] If you are going to label Muhammad a pedophile, you will also have to do the same with some people in the Bible and many within the Church throughout history. Once again, there was nothing at all unusual about Muhammad's marriage to Aisha and labeling him as a pedophile is not only unjust, it also damages our witness to Christ. [/QUOTE]
