Muhammad Condemned Pedophilia

Muhammad Condemned Pedophilia

The Truth:

The legitimacy of "marrying" pre-pubescent girls who have not
yet had their "monthly courses" is established both in the
Qur'an and in the "perfect example" set by Muhammad for his Muslim
followers.

The Qur'an:
Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them
the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for
those who have no courses (it is the same) (65:4

)

The rule concerns divorce, which obviously implies marriage. Muhammad
wanted believing men to observe a three month waiting period before
evicting their wives, to make sure that they weren't pregnant.

Muhammad elsewhere encouraged his men to marry "young girls" for
sexual pleasure:

"Allah's Apostle said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I replied,
"Yes." He asked "What, a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "Not a virgin
but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young girl who would
have fondled with you?" (Bukhari 59:382

tml#005.059.382> )

Lest there be any doubt by what he meant by "young," Muhammad
set the example by marrying and having sex with Aisha when she was only
9-years-old:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: "Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was
admitted to his house at the age of nine." (Sahih Muslim 3309

ml#008.3309> )

This is confirmed in many other hadith as well.
According to the most reliable traditions, Aisha brought her dolls to
Muhammad's house for play (Muslim 3341

ml#008.3311> )

and he would fondle the little girl in the tub while
taking baths with her (Bukhari 6:298

tml#001.006.298> ).

Aisha was just a teenager by the time Muhammad
died, but she had already spent over half her life in marriage to him
Even worse for Muslims is that part of the Qur'an was actually
"revealed" while Muhammad was in bed with this little girl:

[Muhammad said] "…the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any
of the beds except that of Aisha." (Bukhari 47:755

tml#003.047.755> )

So, no... Muhammad did not condemn pedophilia.

Not even close.
