This short and concise book explores the subject of social customs of marriage of the past in various societies around the world – in which puberty signified adulthood and mental maturity coincided with, if not preceded it – and the modern day interest in pedophilia on the back of sexual liberation philosophies and revolutions in the Western world during the mid to late 20th century.
The book tackles the subject in a provocative, thought-provoking and table-turning manner, exposing ignorance, dishonesty, and seething hatred that is driving far-right and nationalist movements – after their failure to make the terrorism and violence label stick to mainstream Islam, to the Qur’an, to the Prophet of Islam and to practising, devout Muslims.

1. #Pedophilia involves adults taking advantage of children by purchasing sexual favors from them. #British and #German #sex #tourists being caught in #SriLanka, Thailand and the #Philippines are not seeking marriage but only sex from child prostitutes or #impoverished people willing to give their children away for a few pennies.
2. The #age of #consent for women set in the West varies from 14 to 18. These ages were arrived at by #democratic vote and have no actual relationship to the woman’s ability or inability for sexual relations or marriage. Consequently, what is considered #legal sex in France may be considered rape in England.
3. #Islaam sets the age of marriage at #puberty, as it is the natural dividing line between childhood and adulthood. #Menstruation indicates that a young girl has reached childbearing age. This age may vary from country to country, but it is #discernable and not #arbitrary.
4. Most societies around the world sanctioned child marriages up until this century. It was not introduced by #Islam but regulated.
5. Islaam #stipulates that a #girl or #boy married before puberty will not live with their #spouse until they have attained puberty. Furthermore, they have the right to cancel or proceed with the marriage when they #reach puberty.
6. #Aisha was seven when she was married off to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and she came to live with him when she reached puberty at nine.
#ChildMarriage = NOT = #AdultMarriage
7. #Women abused as children usually have difficult times coping as adults. They are often #unstable and #psychologically handicapped. ‘Aa’ishah became the leading female #scholar of her time and conveyed to the next generation an enormous body of #Islamic law. She was known to be the fourth most prolific narrator of the Prophetic traditions of all of the Prophet’s followers.
=========================
One of the most common polemic thrown against Islam is the prophet Muhammad’s marriage to Abu Bakr’s daughter Aisha. The #Islamophobes claim that the marriage was very wrong due to Aisha’s young age. I will give a short summary of points which refutes the entire anti-Islamic’s position.
1- If the marriage was so wrong, then why didn’t Aisha’s #mother object to the marriage? Instead she happily gave Aisha for marriage, and prepared her for the marriage #Islamophobia
2- Why didn’t #Abubakr the #father of Aisha object to the marriage? If it was so wrong you would expect the father to have not allowed such a marriage to take place.
3- Why did the #women who were present with Aisha when she was about to be given to the prophet for marriage wished her luck and were happy for her. If the marriage was wrong, the women present would have been sad, and they would not have been happy for Aisha, rather what we see is that they were happy for Aisha and had no problems with this marriage whatsoever.
4- Are we supposed to assume that Abu Bakr, and Aisha’s mother, and the women present with Aisha are all pedophiles and child molesters? Indeed such a conclusion with be very ignorant, and arrogant.
5- Why didn’t any of the prophet’s enemies use this against the prophet Muhammad? If the marriage was so wrong, then you would expect to find his enemies to be the first ones to start using this against him, instead what we find is that his enemies NEVER EVEN ONCE brought this marriage up in a negative way against him.
6- In fact why didn’t any of the Arabs around the Hijazi area object or talk against this marriage? It was not only the pagan Arabs in #Hijaz who didn’t object to this marriage, but the surrounding Arabs didn’t object to it neither!
7- Are we to assume that ALL these Arabs were pedophiles and child molesters? Indeed such a conclusion would make the one making this conclusion a very stupid man, because only a very stupid arrogant man would accuse an entire race of being child molesters and pedophiles.
8- Why is there not a #SINGLE hadith from Aisha showing her being displeased of the marriage? Why is there not one hadith from Aisha showing her to be like a victim, instead when you look at Aisha you find no symptoms of a victim. She became a great leader for Islam, a great scholar for Islam who would teach about Islam to many men. Does this seem to be the symptoms of someone who has been abused?
9-If Aisha was indeed a victim and so on, then why did she love the prophet Muhammad so much, and would sometimes get jelous around him because she loved him so much, does this sound like someone who is a victim?
10- from all the hadith literature we have, we can confidently say that if Aisha was alive today, that she would distance herself from these Christians making these sick arguments, and that she would want nothing to do with these people, this in itself speaks volumes since these people making this sick argument are supposed to be the good guys who are trying to be helpful.
>>All these points made here are enough to refute the Anti-Islamic’s entire position, and they themselves know this. I could show more points, showing that the age of marriage in the past used to be at a very young age, something history agrees with, but these Anti-Islamic’s are so hate filled and arrogant they will say ALL OF HISTORY is wrong but only today in our modern world we are right.
Yet if we look at our modern world, we are a disgrace, and the past is much better than us, look at us today in the modern world.
You have men marrying each other; you have late night television showing people having sex like #animals doing all sort of sick things.
You have people dropping Atomic Bombs on each other; you have countries invading other countries to take all their natural resources.
And this is just the tip of the #iceberg, much more bad things could be said about our modern world, but something which I do find interesting is most of the bad things occurring in our modern world is a result of western Christian influenced societies, that says it all.
