Although, to emphasize my earlier point- it is true that we can only know he married a 6 year old based on the hadiths alone. A Koranist could easily argue there is no basis for it. As you saw in my following posts- I doubt the man existed myself. I have a similar skepticism to Jesus, but I also...
What allegations are those? As for there being contemporary evidence for Muhammad: what specifically? The hadiths do not qualify, and neither do people far removed from Arabia who only had word of mouth that Muhammad was real. People like Sophronious of Jerusalem specifically.
I initially backed Clinton until Sanders announced. I'm backing Bernie first, Hillary second. I will vote blue no matter who, and even though there's several areas I don't agree with him in>>> if I were to vote Republican, Rubio is the most reasonable one in this year's lot.
If Muhammad existed, its quite probable he did marry a young girl by our modern standards. That hardly changes that the Bible is little better in this area.
A Saudi Imam does not speak for the whole of Islam. He speaks for the state of Saudi Arabia, its agenda, and its version of Islam. Again: where in the Quran does it say Muhammad married Aisha at 6? I am being serious that your criticism of Islam is quite shaky when the Bible contains pedophilia...
My question for the OP is if they think it would somehow devalue the Quran if it did copy from the Bible? Somehow make it less true? Doesn't the Quran claim the Bible is the divine revelation of Allah too? All religious traditions borrow. Borrowing and exchanging ideas is as human as it gets.
Right, so no evidence then. Yet you have no issue teaching a idea that damages people emotionally and even drives them to suicide while having no evidence. Don't expect my respect. Ex-gay conversion therapy hurts people, and telling gay people they are not who they feel hurts them, and the woman...
The Bible promotes pedophilia too by your standard. Genesis uses the Hebrew word 'Narah' to describe Rebekkah when she married Isaac. That means small girl prior to marital age. Its really not fair just to go after Islam, and that's not even mentioning that the only source for Muhammad marrying...
