It is clear that Muhammad had intercourse with Aisha when she was 9
years old. Since girls at that age are not fully mature either physically,
emotionally, or psychologically, we know that it is wrong for a man,
regardless of his age, to engage a child in sexual relations. No other
conclusion can be drawn. No one would expect a real prophet of a
righteous God to engage in, justify, allow, and prescribe for his followers such
an malignant act.
Muhammad established a appalling precedent for Islam, Muslims, and
young girls. This was not based upon wisdom, knowledge, or science, but only
upon his culture, desires, actions, and teachings. He should be judged as a
man who established child abuse as a norm in Islam.
Does an Arab CUSTOM of having sexual intercourse with young girls
after their first menstrual cycle, mitigate the action of a 52 year old man
who claimed to be a Prophet of God? Or is the fact that Muhammad followed
these customs and had sexual intercourse with Aisha at the age of 9 years,
while she is still playing with toys to be overlooked? That's for you to
decide.
Jesus said, "You shall know them by their fruits", Matthew 7:20.
We see that one of Muhammad's fruits was allowing young girls to be subjected
to a brutal custom.
