BTW to all of you Islam does not mean "peace" as many a person thinks,
it means "Submission".
Do you know what, in all of this the one thing I truly wish, is that the most intellectually challenged amonst you, keep calling our beloved Prophet (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) a pedophile (May Allah guide you.)
The definition of this word is:
"An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children".
How dare any of you make such a vicious claim!
At the age of 25, he married Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her), who was 15 years his senior! Already cancels out your stupid claims.
Here is a list of the Prophet's wives
Khadijah-tul-Kubrah
Sawda bint Zam'a
Aishah Siddiqa bint Bakr
Hafsah bint U'mar
Zaynab bint Khuzayma
Ummu Salama bint Umayya
Zanyab bint Jahsh
Juwayriya bint al-Harith
Ummu Habiba bint Sufyan
Safiyya bint Huyayy
Maymuna bint al-Harith
Maria al-Qibtiyya
Aisha was the ONLY virgin and the ONLY girl of this age, so you will see your ideas are nonsense!
I can tell you that the Prophet(peace and blessings be upon him) was ORDERED to marry Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her). It is wisdom from Allah, Aisha had the mind of a scholar and an exceptional memory. She memorised SO MUCH hadith, that if the marriage had not of taken place it would have been a disaster for the Muslims, as we would not know what do do in certain situations! She used to teach men! She transmitted more than thousand hadiths!
The marriage between them enables us to know so much of the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)
It was normal in that society as with MANY OTHERS,(Greek and Roman to name two)
there is no evidence to say anyone was bothered by it. And if there was it would have been documented.
During the marriage of Aisha the Prophet married several other women, none of them being this age.
Do not judge the past on modern ideals, you will never understand anything if you do. (Plus you do not have any right to since this society is so far gone.)
Some Guy,
You claims are most amusing reads...
42 boys in Paradise? lol...Don't speak about Islam, your not a Muslim so you have no understanding of it. Read and then you speak, don't claim to know anything of something your not a part of...
You all speak of Jihad but you know nothing of it..You get your infomation from the media, making you both lazy and stupid, not to mention predictable...
(Join the club, there are a lot of them here, just follow the fowl language and basic English and maths and you will find you flock.)
Do you know what I have a problem with in MY MY MY MY country??
Extremists
You all claim to hate so-called "extremists, yet is is acceptable for You all to be extreme in your hatred of Islam.
Your extreme in your pride.
But most of all your extreme in your ignorance. And until you tackle this major flaw you have no right to say anything of the Muslims on this forum or anywhere else.
That stupid website you posted - muslimsout.org
(I fine intelligent solution to the fear of Muslims btw)
I read down the page about the BAATH party, btw their constitution states
"there is NO ***" so therefore this is a lie, they have nothing to do with Muslims. That just one of many lies.
This one however is the best:
"The oppression of women, a difficult topic. Most Muslim women will say they are not oppressed when they are restricted from driving and are forced to wear the hijab/burqa. This is because they have never led a normal life and don't understand because they are so used to it, and it is natural for someone to stick up for their culture anyway."
Lol...I will say this for you benefit one last time
I WAS NOT BORN A MUSLIM.
I AM NOT FORBIDDEN TO DRIVE
I AM NOT FORCED TO WEAR A BURKA
If you look at Afaganistans histry, you will see they have been wearing the burka for a LONG TIME. This was NOT imposed by the Taliban, they have always worn it, and they still do!!!
I used to do all that you claim to be a freedoms, and I wouldn't wish it back for anything.
No-one is forcing me to do anything, I have a free will and can do what I like when I like,
and I LIKE TO COVER
I LIKE TO AVOID PUBS AND CLUBS
I LIKE TO COVER MY HEAD
I LIKE TO BE A MUSLIM
I want all of this, and you can keep those days of ignorance, for thats what they are to me. Don't EVER tell me I'm oppressed, don't ever have the nerve to tell me what I am and what I should be.
This country and the USA are the way they are due to lack of moral guidance. You need Islam and you need to wake up and realise, we don't want to be like you, we don't want your rules and regulations, we have a higher authority and it is Allah.
Allah says:
"This is the Book (Qur'an) wherein there is no doubt."
"Have not the unbelievers considered that if it were from other than Allah, it would contain many contradictions?"
"Allah shall show them the Signs within themselves and on the farthest horizons."
"If you are in doubt about it, bring a book like it."
