Someone said Islam used to promote slavery. The Prophet used to have sex with his slave girls etc etc.
I think this short speach shows completely the opposite to those lies. An educated man who is repeating what i've heard from others.

As i have already said to someone on this forum. I am NOT a muslim and NO i do not support Islam. I have my problems with Islam as much as the next person BUT I educate myself first unlike the other idiots.
I am fed up with all these bullshit lies about the religion. If u hate the religion make a good arguement. I protect Islam all the time from fucking Hindu idiots (i am Hindu myself) who dont know shit. They critise every religion in the world and then when i ask them how does any sane person worship a monkey god they can't even answer. They don't even know their own religion which makes me ashamed to even call them hindu.
Once we get these stupid uneducated voices out the way then i will make a thread (of an educated person) why i don't like Islam.

put it this way. If non muslims act like this and say we eliminate every muslim in the world and they are all gone.
who do u thinks next? and then what? say its hinduism or sikhism. Then those two religions will be crying for the lies that others are putting against their religions. Then we would of wished that we hated something for a real reason, not the lies and bullshit reasons that we are makng against islam.
Believe me. In UK they are already turning hindus and sikhs against muslims and once we get them out they plan to get us out. It's already started.

the BNP (british national party). They've been getting votes from heavily fortified asian areas by targetting hatred against muslims. Using us like fucking idiots and we're falling for it. they were targetting all asians at one point and then suddenly when its flavour of the month they switched to Islam and using us for support cos they know hindus and sikhs hate muslims. Its a fact loads hate muslims to the core.

Hinduism tells us to accept peoples way of life reagrdless. Of course if its barbaric then we can't but islam isn't barbaric. Truth be told if it was then hinduism and sikhism are.
Read the religion and see the similarities. There are loads between the three not saying that any are better or worse.

I'm not a fan of people who attack religion unprovoked. When there are a bunch of tolerant muslims around, it's wrong to go and bash their religion.
On rd, however, a lot of the people are reacting to ridiculous claims made by fanatical Pakistanis (examples of the extreme claims: rape victims are partially to blame for enticing their rapists, it is acceptable for 9 year olds to have sex with adult men, etc.)
I do not believe non-Muslims are at fault here.

Actually what ur saying is partially along the lines why i have a problem with the religion, BUT we should be attacking those members for being idiots not the religion. Also i agree with u but isn't it non-muslims making the threads?
All i know is I didn't have any idea about this 9 yr old thing before. The first i heard of it was on here. So then i went to look at it on the internet. There are many websites explaining the real age of his wife (forgotten her name). Now if i can find it then how come the people who make the threads can't ? Why they have to post it on RD?
Muslims on this website are ignorant as fuck. They know so little and they'll defend their religion at all costs making stupid arguments, but why do we (hindus) and other religions have to go and provoke them and fight them? What if they start bashing hinduism? I'd be pissed off cos a complete lack of respect (which is what we are showing) but you'd have loads of hindus not knowing anything talking shit.
The people who make the threads aren't intrested in answers. If they were they wouldn't come to a place like this to find them, Just intrested in creating problems.
Why cant we all just live and let live. Why all this fighting?

It is what Hanuman [aka "monkey god"] symbolizes that is being worshipped rather than the 'monkey god' itself. There's your answer.

in Hinduism it all started out with om
then there was one god split into 3 main forms
(not choosing my words correctly but hope you get it )
bramha: giver of life
Vishnu: supports your life
and Shiva: gives death
and you said how can hindus worship a monkey god
In hindu religion they say that whenever a great evil comes upon earth
or the world itself comes to a point where theres only destruction
god himself gives birth to himself therefore there is a new god
(i know i could say this better in hindi) by the way the "monkey god"
is Hunuman ji
:o
and no i dont have no problems with Islam
Just you have to remember that there are paki- muslims mostly in these forums - don't have anything against them either just believe that they do not have tolerance to other religions
and if you remember they have destroyed all the mandirs that were in pakistan
its just not right to destroy a place of worship
i know that was a long time ago
but i don't see their mentality changing
and that will only cause more problems with their country and they are taking Islam to an extreme

you're right but i don't know if ur from England or not. If u are i think u should read the independant. Its the best paper cos it tells the truth as it is.
I can't say specifically about the mandirs. I mean it seems like that was completely uncalled for, but i remember one article where they broke buddist temples. It was sick. All the news papers condeming it and rightly so. But the independant also included in their article how many muslim mosques are being broken down everywhere and no one article has been written about them. This was well before september 11th and all. Now i'm not saying it makes it right, but the newspaper (as it does brilliantly) poses the question.
If its not ok for buddist temples to be broken down then why is it ok for mosques to be broken down? And if its not, then how come they aren't being reported in newspapers?
All i could say is, "damn good point". It our temples were being destroyed and no-one said anything then they critisize us for breaking one of theirs then i would be mad.
Whenever i see a critizism of a religion i just turn it around and imagine if hinduism was in that state. That way i understand why theres alot of hatred in the world or how silly and violent people are.

Paradise/heaven is in your head. There is no right or wrong religion. If there is a God, there is only 1 & everyone worships divinity in their own way. At the end of the day it doesnt matter because no person has come back from the dead and proven that the heaven that all these people hope to go to does exist.

and growing up I was taught god was god no matter if what name you gave him, Ive been to madirs, gurdwaras, and churches i dont mind going to any place of worship because in the end its considered god's house and i think thats just the way most hindus are, we dont take our religion to extreme and any place of worship is considered holy and even though yes they did destroy our mandirs we wouldnt destroy their masjid because in the end we did look above that which is why I particularly don't like Pakis not all ,but some who are still ignorant enough to argue about whos better
That just shows are some still do not know how to be tolerant

... Which 'lies' are you talking about? ..... And it's the job of science to come up with explanations for the world around us. If anything it's been much more successful at that than religion. If you want to talk about 'evidence'.... religion by definition of 'blind faith' lacks evidence for pretty much everything it claims, including the existence of "god".
there has to be 1 right religion or they can all be wrong.
If they all contradict each other in some way then if one is right then the rest are wrong. If not then they can all be wrong.

You seem very brainwashed.
People did not know how to explain many things, so they attributed it to god.
Are you that stupid to believe in something you have never seen? How do people go to hell if god forgives everyone? why do people die of starvation if god can save them? why do people die fighting over religion when god can put an end to this by revealing himself? Enlighten me.

And the question of sex with minors... its only since people are being educated that they believe its wrong.. Sex with minors happend in EVERY country and in EVERY religion many years ago.
If people were really interested to know as to why/what does one religion do, theres books out there to educate yourself. Dont come on RD and ask a bunch of 14-20 yr olds. They are growing up themself's and they are still educating themself's.
Religion bashing doesnt make a person 'cool'. People should look at themself's first and then comment onto what they should tell others to believe.

The question wasnt a real one. It was like an example question. I used it cos this is the exact question that people used to shout at me in an abusive way. My point was that if u ask Hindus on the street this question most of them wouldn't know the true answer.
I'm just using it as an example. I'm all for peace between religions because every religion is guilty for hate crimes and killing and torturing innocents. Thats Hinduism, Sikhism, Islam, Christianity all of them.
and this doesn't mean religions are evil. I think if we add all the numbers killed in the name of religion and put it up against "progression of nations war" where 60,000,000 native americans were slaughtered, then i don't think that they would even come close.

But I haven't heard about mosques being broken down but that's just as wrong
and didn't get what you meant by the last part??
sorry but ur very missinformed. You think our hindu brothers and sisters don't do anything in retaliation? I think you haven't even heard what the non-hindus (as i call them) did in gujurat.

You seem very brainwashed.
People did not know how to explain many things, so they attributed it to god.
Are you that stupid to believe in something you have never seen? How do people go to hell if god forgives everyone? why do people die of starvation if god can save them? why do people die fighting over religion when god can put an end to this by revealing himself? Enlighten me.
you seem very brainwashed. People like Richard Dawkins is like the biggest idiot in the world. His arguement is you can't prove anything and then attacks god. Well u can't argue that because its a stupid arguement. He knows that he can't be beaten because he goes on even the thing u see and feel may not be real.
You ask questions like why do people die of starvation? or why they die fighting? Why don't you ask the question well why wouldn't they? Did God say to us, no-one will ever starve? or did he say he will not let anyone die in violence?
Why don't u answer that question? Have u ever thought maybe God neevr wants to get involved? Maybe he wants us to get on with it. If u look at what does these bad things in the world then just have to look at humans. We're the reason and we're the ones who are suffering. I never read anything from anywhere saying that God would come down and stop things like this.
As for belief in god. Let me ask you something. You happily ask all these questions so obviosuly u must be very intelligent and/or knowledgeable on this matter so....... u tell me why don't u believe in god? Where is ur 100% proof god does not exist? explain to me.

... Which 'lies' are you talking about? ..... And it's the job of science to come up with explanations for the world around us. If anything it's been much more successful at that than religion. If you want to talk about 'evidence'.... religion by definition of 'blind faith' lacks evidence for pretty much everything it claims, including the existence of "god".
Which shows you don't quite understand Hinduism yourself... And the rest of what you said didn't make any sense.
I understand hinduism. Hinduism never says all religions are right. It calls for acceptance of all religions. You accept them but you believe in hinduism.That doesnt detract from the fact that if they are all apparently from god and they contradict each other then either they are all wrong or 1 of them is the pure path.
again like i said to the other poster, wheres ur proof that u talk about for god not existing. You have no proof either so ur arguement is neither here or there.

Now if there is a right religion & God exists, why are we fighting about it? God should show the right religion. What the hell is up with all the divisions withing a single religion? And did I mention how blind faith has blinded your sense of being? When all the prohets were around, people belived that the world was a square; now we know that is not true.
This is something i do not understand but in the end of the day i'm human. I mean how can i even start to know everythign god has planned. We as humans are too arrogant to think they must know everything god has planned (for those who believe in god)
as for blind faith. BLind faith is for idiots. Blind faith is ok BUT it must be based on a facts and intelligent thinking foundation. Anyone who only has blind faith alone is an idiot cos they could believe in anything even 100 gods all looking like the teletubbies.
If you use intelligent thought and deep personal unbiased thoughts then u can see how there is more to religion than just a bunch of made up words to get people to follow blindly.

He never had sex with anyone who wasn't his wife and you cannot take slaves as wives until you have released them from their slave duties. Hence they failed to be slaves and then if they wanted they could marry their past owners, i they wanted.

It doesnt matter if your muslim/hindu/christian/jewish/sikh/parsi and so on.... No religion is better then the other and no religion is worse.
And the question of sex with minors... its only since people are being educated that they believe its wrong.. Sex with minors happend in EVERY country and in EVERY religion many years ago.
If people were really interested to know as to why/what does one religion do, theres books out there to educate yourself. Dont come on RD and ask a bunch of 14-20 yr olds. They are growing up themself's and they are still educating themself's.
Religion bashing doesnt make a person 'cool'. People should look at themself's first and then comment onto what they should tell others to believe.

Again, if you knew anything about Hinduism you'd know there's no such thing as "purer path". And, the fact that all religions will lead to the Ultimate Truth means that all religions can be the 'correct path'. Which goes against what you said initially:
"Hinduism never says all religions are right."
Which is clearly wrong on your part.
What your saying is is that all religions are exactly the same and all of them are equal in good and bad and all religions believe in the same god (even though christianity speaks of the trinity and others speak of one god and no other).
I didn't say all religions are the same, I said all religions are equal and can be 'True'. Again, there's no such thing as 'pure path'.
They are all different but this just means there are better paths than others.
Hinduism never says that one path is better than another. It says it is up to the individual to choose a path that best suits them, while still knowing that all paths are equally valid. Again, this shows me you lack a basic knowledge of Hinduism. Instead of wasting time here, it would be best if you went and actually did the research.

Hence they failed to be slaves and then if they wanted they could marry their past owners, i they wanted.I think my main criticism with Mohammed's conduct is shown here:
Some scholars criticise the Islamic world for allegedly having allowed slavery to persist for some time after it was abolished in the West. Rodney Stark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Stark) points to the example set by Muhammad as a possible reason for this, saying that "the fundamental problem facing Muslim theologians vis-a-vis the morality of slavery is that Muhammad bought, sold, captured, and owned slaves." Although he does admit that Muhammad "advise(d) that slaves be treated well," he contrasts Islam with Christianity, implying that Christian theologians wouldn't have been able to "work their way around the biblical acceptance of slavery" if Jesus had owned slaves like Muhammad did.[53] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Muhammad#_note-42)
Muhammad is criticised for apparently having had a child by a slave girl called Maria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_al-Qibtiyya) or Mariyah, who was a present from the Byzantine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire) ruler of Egypt. By some accounts Muhammad did not marry her because she would not convert to Islam,[54] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Muhammad#_note-43) though other Islamic researchers claim that Muhammad was indeed married to Mariyah.[55] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Muhammad#_note-44)
Whether he married her or not isn't conclusive as to her treatment and function on the initial. She was initially a slave, and she did give birth to a child that was his -- evidence of his actions.

As far as Islam is aware Umm Maria Al-Qabtiyya(May Allah be pleased with her) was married to Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and had a child Ibrahim that died at a young age. She was a hand maid servant from the King of Egypt our Hazrat married her, if you notice he married many Women from different backgrounds some divorced.. widows..

You've already admitted that your conviction is through your feeling and faith and saying it's 'obvious' to you that he acted in a particular way.
I'm a little bit more objective minded, in that I'd assume that he'd have sex with a slave which was traded to him before his marriage to her (which is arguable), granted a child was born.

You are obviously set in your thinking, so it doesn't matter what she brings forth, or what I bring forth...you aint about to change your mind, so this is all a waste of time. All we can do is convey the message, which we've already done, time and time again...anything beyond that would be proslytizing...and muslims don't proslytize.
No, I'm asking you to provide sufficent arguments for your convictions. Althought I have crticisms against islaam as with any other religion, I also see its beauty.

Yes, and that's what makes me a muslim(one who submits), and that's ultimately what it's all about at the end of the day.
Bottom line, slavery was embedded into the fabric of every society at that time, to do away with it completely at that point wouldn't be a realistic scenario. Regardless, slavery in those days was an economic institution that wasn't NEARLY as de-humanizing as what you and I know as slavery thanks to european racialists. I mean look, out of all the things Islaam is about, and out of every episode of the Prophets(saw) life, why are we even dwelling on this?
So you're going to admit that mohammed had slaves? It's not about whether it was perfectly okay for a man to have slaves back in those days. This is a prophet, not just any man, he should be enlightened with timeless knowledge, not knowledge and action which is perverted by the worldly fashions and fads of the status-quo.

Title:
If Islam Wanted to Discourage Slavery, then Why did the Prophet Keep a Slave Girl
Question/Comments:
In your answer to "Slave girls as wives" you had stated that "Islam accepted slavery as a social vice and gave directives for its gradual removal and ultimate extinction". If this was the case, then why is it reported that the Prophet (pbuh) had sexual relations with his Coptic Christian slave girl and did not marry her until she delivered his child? Please clarify the authenticity of this report. If this were true, then the example of the Prophet is surely counter to the statement you made about Islam considering slavery as a social vice!
Answer:
To answer your question, it seems necessary that two separate aspects of the corrective measures taken by Islam, for the gradual abolition of the institution of slavery be clearly understood.
Firstly, the fact that Islam considered the institution of slavery a social vice is the obvious corollary of the various directives of Islam regarding freeing of slaves. Had Islam not considered slavery to be a social vice, there was no reason to promote freeing of slaves as a great virtue.
Secondly, the words 'Islam accepted slavery as a social vice' clearly imply that even though Islam considered slavery to be a vice against humanity, yet due to its deep roots in the world society, at the time, and due to the extra-ordinary social implications that could have followed any drastic measures of the complete and immediate abolition of the institution, Islam tolerated its existence till the time that the world was emotionally and psychologically prepared for its abolition. During this intermediary time, it was equally essential for the Prophet (pbuh) to promote the moral value of treating one's slaves with respect, honor, love and justice.
Mr. Amar Ellahi Lone, in his answer to a question regarding the marriages of the Prophet (pbuh) writes:
As far as the slave girl Hadhrat Maria Qibtia (ra) is concerned, the Prophet (pbuh) kept her as a slave girl because he was barred from marrying those slave girls who were not part of the booty of war, in the same verse that governed his marriage regulations. Hadhrat Maria Qibtia (ra) was presented to the Prophet (pbuh) by the ruler of Egypt[1]. He loved her very much and treated her very well, in order to set an example for the Muslims in treatment of their slaves.
It should be kept in mind that although Islam condemned slavery, it did not abolish it instantly. The institution of slavery was so deep rooted in the society that it was not possible to do away with it at once. In fact Islam adopted a gradual approach towards it by giving incentives to free slaves in return for reward in the hereafter or by treating them fairly and respectably. It was during this intermediary period that the Prophet (pbuh) set an example of good treatment of the slaves, in the case of Hadhrat Maria Qibtia (ra), for the Muslims to follow. The other example that he set in relation to slaves was in the case of Hadhrat Zayed (ra), whom he freed and made his adopted son. There is no strong evidence of any other slave girl in the household of the Prophet (pbuh).
It is clear from the accounts of the historians that the Prophet (pbuh) treated Maria Qibtia (ra) in a manner that was truly a socio-moral example for the society to follow. No difference can be seen in his treatment of Maria Qibtia (ra) and the rest of his wives (ra). She was given a separate living quarter, like the other wives and was never treated in a derogatory way by the Prophet (pbuh) or any one of his spouses.
The Prophet (pbuh) did not marry Maria Qibtia (ra) even after the birth of her child.
It should be remembered that the correction of all such social vices that are as deeply rooted in a society as was slavery in the world of old, clearly need a two faceted approach in their correction. Firstly, the society should be psychologically, emotionally and physically prepared to relieve itself of such vices - which can sometimes translate into a long-term corrective process. Secondly, during this intermediary time, the society should also be taught to deal with the prevalent situation in the best possible manner.
This may answer your questions.

I protect Islam all the time from fucking Hindu idiots (i am Hindu myself) who dont know shit.

Actually what ur saying is partially along the lines why i have a problem with the religion, BUT we should be attacking those members for being idiots not the religion. Also i agree with u but isn't it non-muslims making the threads?
All i know is I didn't have any idea about this 9 yr old thing before. The first i heard of it was on here. So then i went to look at it on the internet. There are many websites explaining the real age of his wife (forgotten her name). Now if i can find it then how come the people who make the threads can't ? Why they have to post it on RD?
because some muslims evidently believe she was 9 years old, and will defend acts of pedophilia when the topic is brought up.
Muslims on this website are ignorant as fuck. They know so little and they'll defend their religion at all costs making stupid arguments, but why do we (hindus) and other religions have to go and provoke them and fight them? What if they start bashing hinduism? I'd be pissed off cos a complete lack of respect (which is what we are showing) but you'd have loads of hindus not knowing anything talking shit.
The people who make the threads aren't intrested in answers. If they were they wouldn't come to a place like this to find them, Just intrested in creating problems.
Why cant we all just live and let live. Why all this fighting?
I've observed people making anti-islam comments in retaliation to derogatory remarks made by muslims about other religions.
all of this is probably immature, but it's all a little more complex than you're implying.

Title:
If Islam Wanted to Discourage Slavery, then Why did the Prophet Keep a Slave Girl
Question/Comments:
In your answer to "Slave girls as wives" you had stated that "Islam accepted slavery as a social vice and gave directives for its gradual removal and ultimate extinction". If this was the case, then why is it reported that the Prophet (pbuh) had sexual relations with his Coptic Christian slave girl and did not marry her until she delivered his child? Please clarify the authenticity of this report. If this were true, then the example of the Prophet is surely counter to the statement you made about Islam considering slavery as a social vice!
Answer:
To answer your question, it seems necessary that two separate aspects of the corrective measures taken by Islam, for the gradual abolition of the institution of slavery be clearly understood.
Firstly, the fact that Islam considered the institution of slavery a social vice is the obvious corollary of the various directives of Islam regarding freeing of slaves. Had Islam not considered slavery to be a social vice, there was no reason to promote freeing of slaves as a great virtue.
Secondly, the words 'Islam accepted slavery as a social vice' clearly imply that even though Islam considered slavery to be a vice against humanity, yet due to its deep roots in the world society, at the time, and due to the extra-ordinary social implications that could have followed any drastic measures of the complete and immediate abolition of the institution, Islam tolerated its existence till the time that the world was emotionally and psychologically prepared for its abolition. During this intermediary time, it was equally essential for the Prophet (pbuh) to promote the moral value of treating one's slaves with respect, honor, love and justice.
Mr. Amar Ellahi Lone, in his answer to a question regarding the marriages of the Prophet (pbuh) writes:
As far as the slave girl Hadhrat Maria Qibtia (ra) is concerned, the Prophet (pbuh) kept her as a slave girl because he was barred from marrying those slave girls who were not part of the booty of war, in the same verse that governed his marriage regulations. Hadhrat Maria Qibtia (ra) was presented to the Prophet (pbuh) by the ruler of Egypt[1]. He loved her very much and treated her very well, in order to set an example for the Muslims in treatment of their slaves.
It should be kept in mind that although Islam condemned slavery, it did not abolish it instantly. The institution of slavery was so deep rooted in the society that it was not possible to do away with it at once. In fact Islam adopted a gradual approach towards it by giving incentives to free slaves in return for reward in the hereafter or by treating them fairly and respectably. It was during this intermediary period that the Prophet (pbuh) set an example of good treatment of the slaves, in the case of Hadhrat Maria Qibtia (ra), for the Muslims to follow. The other example that he set in relation to slaves was in the case of Hadhrat Zayed (ra), whom he freed and made his adopted son. There is no strong evidence of any other slave girl in the household of the Prophet (pbuh).
It is clear from the accounts of the historians that the Prophet (pbuh) treated Maria Qibtia (ra) in a manner that was truly a socio-moral example for the society to follow. No difference can be seen in his treatment of Maria Qibtia (ra) and the rest of his wives (ra). She was given a separate living quarter, like the other wives and was never treated in a derogatory way by the Prophet (pbuh) or any one of his spouses.
The Prophet (pbuh) did not marry Maria Qibtia (ra) even after the birth of her child.
It should be remembered that the correction of all such social vices that are as deeply rooted in a society as was slavery in the world of old, clearly need a two faceted approach in their correction. Firstly, the society should be psychologically, emotionally and physically prepared to relieve itself of such vices - which can sometimes translate into a long-term corrective process. Secondly, during this intermediary time, the society should also be taught to deal with the prevalent situation in the best possible manner.
This may answer your questions.
This part is confusing with the rest.

so whats ur point. I mean your basically saying that he had a child by a girl who was very possibly his wife. That fact that we can't prove if she was isn't really a issue. As for the whole idea of promoting slavery, i don't think uv seen the video in the beginning of this thread. This attitude of slavery has been told to me exactly the same by (trustworhy) religious peopleIt's arguable, and as the previous post indicated not all islamic scholars are in favour of that view.
Secondly, its not merely about promoting slavery, its going beyond that, and having sex slaves, having a female submit to you, powerless in her desire, to give her entire body to you without reason. And her body traded and used for political reasons. Any human nowadays can see how this is (both in action and in theory) wrong.
It's not a good method of argument for people to say that things were different back then, because morality and action should be timeless. Anyone with a higher mode of enlightenment to be claimed a prophet should see beyond this.
This is my main point.

Pedophilia or pædophilia (see spelling differences) is a preferential or exclusive sexual attraction by adults to prepubescent youths. A person with this attraction is called a pedophile or paedophile.[1] The ICD-10 and DSM IV, which are standard medical diagnosis manuals, currently describe pedophilia as a paraphilia and mental disorder of adults or older youths, if it causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
The term pedophile is also used colloquially to denote an adult who is sexually attracted to adolescents or youths below the local age of consent,[2] as well as those accused or convicted of child sexual abuse or child pornography related offences.
Obviously, you DON'T know the defintion pedophilia. Um, aren't you in medical school, or something?
Dude, even if a 9 year old has started her period, she still hasn't necessarily completed puberty.
And it is still unlikely she would he able to give birth safely.
A person is a pedophile if they are attracted to girls who normally are prebuescent. 9 year olds are usually pre-pubescent and do not magically start looking like 25 year olds even if they start their period.
they are mentally, emotionally, and physically children.

Also, if you're that quick to label Muhammad(saw) a pedophile, then you should be ready to label all of the semetic tribes (including the ISRAELITES) of that time and prior to as pedophiles as well, since this was COMMON PRACTICE, NOT ONLY AMONGST THE ARABS.
It's amazing how you peons are so quick to judge a man who lived 1400 years ago by present-day standards...wow.

Are you utterly stupid or something? She was not 9 years old. How man times do I have to explain this? The hadith writers lowered Aisha age to debunk shia claims, that's all it was. Aisha was actually 19 - 21 when she married Mohamed, in fact Aisha was engaged to another man, before the engagement to Mohamed.

And on the pedophillia issue,
The APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition, Text Revision gives the following as its "Diagnostic criteria for 302.2 Pedophilia":[24]
* A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years or younger);
* B. The person has acted on these sexual urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty;
* C. The person is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children in Criterion A.
With re: puberty, puberty is something involved in stages, typically a female is considered to have undergone full-stages on a pubic angle by the age of 14.
You cannot say a boy is past his pre-pubescent stage because he has pubic hairs. Boys experience pubic growth when they're 6 years old.
So if someone has a fascinationf or a 6 year old boy, he isn't a pedophile? Heh.

Its documented in the hadith, the same hadith which ,state she was nine, those same hadith state she also had reached her menses.

According to the hadith, (which have internal and external contradictions) she was 6 years old when engaged and 9 years old when the marriage was consummated. Now, the information comes 200 years after the death of Mohamed and Aisha. This was documented 200 years later when the Muslims where having a civil war. The sunni hadith compilers had lowered the age of Aisha in the hadith to debunk shia claims. Today there is loads of evidence proving some well meaning Muslims had tampered with the age of Aisha.
According to a narrative reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, after the death of Khadijah (ra), when Khaulah (ra) came to the Prophet (pbuh) advising him to marry again, the Prophet (pbuh) asked her regarding the choices she had in her mind. Khaulah said: "You can marry a virgin (bikr) or a woman who has already been married (thayyib)". When the Prophet (pbuh) asked about who the virgin was, Khaulah proposed Ayesha's (ra) name. All those who know the Arabic language, are aware that the word "bikr" in the Arabic language is not used for an immature nine-year old girl. The correct word for a young playful girl, as stated earlier is "Jariyah". "Bikr" on the other hand, is used for an unmarried lady, and obviously a nine year old is not a "lady".
According to almost all the historians Asma (ra), the elder sister of Ayesha (ra) was ten years older than Ayesha (ra). It is reported in Taqreeb al-Tehzeeb as well as Al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah that Asma (ra) died in the 73rd year after hijrah[2] when she was 100 years old. Now, obviously if Asma (ra) was 100 years old in the 73rd year after hijrah, she should have been 27 or 28 years old at the time of hijrah. If Asma (ra) was 27 or 28 years old at the time of hijrah, Ayesha (ra) should have been 17 or 18 years old at that time. Thus, Ayesha (ra) - if she got married in 1 AH (after hijrah) or 2 AH - was between 18 to 20 years old at the time of her marriage.

I have not looked this up myself...but I remember someone telling me that back then in order for a female slave to be set free she must have a child.
I don't know how true this is but it's something I have been meaning to look into.
hey only educated muslims know that! haha but yea thats the truth... and thats why the prophet did. **editt.. i dont think she has to have a child.. she has to be married.. usually to someone of higher status*
i was gonna mention that in the thread about that.. but those threads full of islamically illiterate muslims and nonmuslims that saying the truth can be of no use. ignorant people.

You are doing nothing but parroting yourself now, just give up. For the umpteenth fuggin' time, you are using fairly recent criteria to judge a man who lived 1400 years ago for nothing more than the purpose of SLANDER. This is nothing more than FOLLY.
If you disagree with the SEMETIC CUSTOMS of the time, then thats fine, and that is your personal opinion. BUT, you should RETRACT your statements here, and in the other forum where you were/are accusing our Prophet(saw) of being a "pedophile." Are you ready to do this, or NO?

According to the hadith, (which have internal and external contradictions) she was 6 years old when engaged and 9 years old when the marriage was consummated. Now, the information comes 200 years after the death of Mohamed and Aisha. This was documented 200 years later when the Muslims where having a civil war. The sunni hadith compilers had lowered the age of Aisha in the hadith to debunk shia claims. Today there is loads of evidence proving some well meaning Muslims had tampered with the age of Aisha.
According to a narrative reported by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, after the death of Khadijah (ra), when Khaulah (ra) came to the Prophet (pbuh) advising him to marry again, the Prophet (pbuh) asked her regarding the choices she had in her mind. Khaulah said: "You can marry a virgin (bikr) or a woman who has already been married (thayyib)". When the Prophet (pbuh) asked about who the virgin was, Khaulah proposed Ayesha's (ra) name. All those who know the Arabic language, are aware that the word "bikr" in the Arabic language is not used for an immature nine-year old girl. The correct word for a young playful girl, as stated earlier is "Jariyah". "Bikr" on the other hand, is used for an unmarried lady, and obviously a nine year old is not a "lady".
According to almost all the historians Asma (ra), the elder sister of Ayesha (ra) was ten years older than Ayesha (ra). It is reported in Taqreeb al-Tehzeeb as well as Al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah that Asma (ra) died in the 73rd year after hijrah[2] when she was 100 years old.

Thus, Ayesha (ra) - if she got married in 1 AH (after hijrah) or 2 AH - was between 18 to 20 years old at the time of her marriage.

Look at y'all, this is unbelievable. Is this how y'all get your rocks off, I mean seriously? I didn't "TRY" to debunk anything she said, she debunked herself, and the way she's meekly replying to my rebuttal to her erroneous statements is proof enough of that fact. YOU, however are obviously a little more intelligent then she is, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in your attempt to continue this nonsense...
Let's take this step by step:
A) 2,000 years ago, according to semetic custom, a girl was considered to have hit puberty once she had her menses.
B) Pedophilia, regardless of the debate over when puberty actually occurs in totality, is defined as having an EXCLUSIVE ATTRACTION TO CHILDREN WHO HAVEN'T YET REACHED PUBERTY. Ayeesha(ra), disregarding your opinion on the matter, was considered to have hitten puberty at the time of the consumation of the marriage.
C) Our Prophet(saw) was first married to Khadijaah(ra) EXCLUSIVELY, a woman who was over 20 years OLDER then him, and being that there is nothing in our Prophets(saw) recorded life to suggest that he had an exclusive "fetish" for little girls, or teenaged girls even, HE CANNOT LOGICALLY BE CALLED A PEDOPHILE. If you have evidence that testifies otherwise, then please bring it forth. Show and Prove, or shut the fuck up, honestly.
You said:
it's just there is some universal etiquette and power-distribution between a man and a woman.
obviously this "etiquette" that you are over here lauding over isn't so "universal" at all, if the customs of an entire group of people obviously disagree with it, at least at that time. How recently was this "etiquette" that you are referencing developed, and by whom?
Would you support your prophet if it was customary to have sex with a baby? You probably will and for that, I feel sorry for you.
Why are you asking me questions if you've already answered them yourself to your own liking? I know you like to hear yourself talk (or in this case, see), but please, don't ask me stupid questions, it doesn't help you at all.
A) It doesn't matter, a prophet shouldn't be swayed to act on semetic customs, he should be beyond that.
B) That's incorrect. Pedophillia isn't an exclusive attraction. Fetishes can be coupled. For instance, a man who has a fetish for men and little children is classified as a homosexual and a pedophile. It's a preferential attraction.
C) I don't need evidence, nor do I want to state that he is a pedophile. However if he did have sex with a 9 years old girl then my contention would be that he is a pedophile. Pedophile is a fetish of the mind. You aren't born with it, it is nurtured. You can become a pedophile through circumstance, for eg) you can be slowly conditioned with the psychological belief that you are inferior to a woman and therefore you can only go for beings who are mentally/physically inferior ie) children.
Etiquette is as follows:
"the code of ethical behavior regarding professional practice or action among the members of a profession in their dealings with each other".
Read up on universal morality or jus cogens. You might better yourself in
knowing that there is a thing out there which lays out the underlying fabric of what constitutes a basic right and a human right.

We're not scholars of religion here so we don't have access to documents that properly answer questions about Islam. From what I have learned, there is only one hadith narrated by one person in Bukhari that marks Hazrat Aisha's age as 9 when her marriage was consummated. There are other hadith by many eyewitnesses that mark her age as higher. However, the Quran supersedes the ahadith and it says to marry someone only if they are mentally and physically able, and consent to the marriage. That should be enough. And that is enough for most Muslims. If it were hard and fast rule that we must follow all the particulars of the Prophet's practices, then I'm sure the religion would have lost following a long time ago.
Slavery is not allowed in Islam. After Islam, people who were originally slaves ended up becoming servants by our definition since their owners/ masters were supposed to provide them with shelter, food, clothing, and an education if necessary. The slaves of the time were also allowed to pay off their owner and be free. If you haven't read the Quran, then there is no way you would know that slavery is not condoned by Islam. You'll see a progression of commandments concerning slaves which starts out by first telling owners to treat their slaves humanely and it ends by telling owners that their slaves are like their brothers who deserve to be treated the same way as them.
Sex with slaves is not allowed in Islam either. The Prophet never had sex with any of his female slaves outside of wedlock. Majority of Islamic scholars agree that even though she was given to the Prophet as a slave, he choose to marry Hazrat Maria and make her his wife.
A simple education of Islam and common sense will show that Islam doesn't order us to do inhumane things, and neither did the Prophet do such actions.

A person who does it occassionally, has comitted homosexual acts.
A person who prefers to be attracted to the same sex is homosexual, hence sexual preference.

YOUR definition of what a Prophet "should be" is absolutely useless, as are your definitions of "right" and "wrong," "deceny" and "indecency." This is nothing more than a convenient cop-out, which thereby enables you to slander our prophet(saw) any way you wish, and from any angle you choose. Clever Echelon, very clever, but I see through your little game.
Lets look up three separate defintions of "pedophilia." Here's the first one I quoted initially:
1) Pedophilia or pædophilia (see spelling differences) is a preferential or exclusive sexual attraction by adults to prepubescent youths. A person with this attraction is called a pedophile or paedophile.(wikipedia)
2) Main Entry: pe·do·phil·ia
Pronunciation: "pe-d&-'fi-lE-&, 'pE-
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin
: sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object (merriam/webster)
3) Pedophilia
Definition
Pedophilia is a paraphilia that involves an abnormal interest in children. A paraphilia is a disorder that is characterized by recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies generally involving: nonhuman objects; the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner (not merely simulated); or animals, children, or other nonconsenting persons. Pedophilia is also a psychosexual disorder in which the fantasy or actual act of engaging in sexual activity with prepubertal children is the preferred or exclusive means of achieving sexual excitement and gratification. It may be directed toward children of the same sex or children of the other sex. Some pedophiles are attracted to both boys and girls. Some are attracted only to children, while others are attracted to adults as well as to children.

LOL@ you "dont need evidence," get the fuck outta here man...I've already proved you to be wrong, so me looking up and researching "universal morality" is not, and has never been the issue here. The issue here is that you and the rest of your filthy contingent here seem to be hellbent on labeling our Prophet(saw) with vile names and accusations with absolutely NO BASIS. Why don't you go attack Socrates, Aristotle, and all those other greek personalites whom you most doubt revere for fucking little boys in the ass ON A REGULAR BASIS.

What the fuck more do you need, Mr. Echelon? If you want to etch your own definitions of already established truths and principles, then that's your business. But please, don't sit here and run off your own personal opinions and tout them as fact.
You accidently mis-quoted the definition for paraphilia over pedophillia and then used that to debunk my logic. I'll give you the opportunity to re-edit your arguments before I reply, since I'm so sympathetic.

Was Socrates a pedophile Echelon? If so, was he more of a pedophile than Muhammad(saw), according to your standards? Please explain.
I'm not much of a fan of Socrates.
If at the time mohammed prefered her, then at the time he was a pedophille.
Considering for an adult human being to have sex with a 9 year old, its not just a quick absence of the mind which led to the action. It takes something of consideration for a man to have sex with a being that is under-developed.
A girl at that age would be entirely different psychologically and physically to a fully matured young-adult. It'd take some persuasion on his part to be sexually attracted to her.

Well either way:
Many Muslim sources say that Muhammad later freed and married Maria, but it is not clear if this is historical fact or historical apology. Some Muslim traditions claim that Muhammmad offered to free Maria, but that she chose to remain a slave.[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources)] To further complicate matters, slaves were to be automatically freed upon conversion to Islam, so it is not clear why Maria would have to be explicitly freed if she had already converted.
The fact that Maria was not housed with Muhammad's other wives argues that she was a concubine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concubine). Muhammad lived in a mud-brick dwelling next to the Medina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medina) mosque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque), and each of his wives had her own mud-brick room, built in a line next to his. Maria, however, was lodged in a house on the edge of Medina. Maria is also not listed as a wife in some of the earliest sources, such as Ibn Hisham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Hisham)'s notes on Ibn Ishaq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Ishaq)'s Sira (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sira) (Guillaume 691 – 798).

If you look at it through the light of Quranic verses then it's obvious that he married her.
Her house being further away might have had to do with how the other wives treated her rather than the Prophet's attitude towards her. They didn't like her because she was very beautiful (more than them) and she was an outsider (not from the Arabian tribes). I forget which Surah it was but a verse in it was revealed warning the Prophet's wives not to heed rumors or spread them. Hazrat Maria was a part of these rumors.
I'll have to ask my mom about the Surah's name and post it later.

If you look at it through the light of Quranic verses then it's obvious that he married her.

I think it seems rather wierd to me, that he'd be given a concubine and marry her before fornicating with her, granted the circumstances and her origins.

It might have been weird according to Arab customs but not according to Islamic guidelines.
When she was given to him Muslims were to marry before they had sex. As I said before the rule of "what your right hand possesses" as pertaining to slaves was no longer applicable by then since Allah had declared that you can only have sex with your wives.

nah IM from New York
Im a Hindu
and growing up I was taught god was god no matter if what name you gave him, Ive been to madirs, gurdwaras, and churches i dont mind going to any place of worship because in the end its considered god's house and i think thats just the way most hindus are, we dont take our religion to extreme and any place of worship is considered holy and even though yes they did destroy our mandirs we wouldnt destroy their masjid because in the end we did look above that which is why I particularly don't like Pakis not all ,but some who are still ignorant enough to argue about whos better
That just shows are some still do not know how to be tolerant
But I haven't heard about mosques being broken down but that's just as wrong
and didn't get what you meant by the last part??
lol@ your ignorance don't act like your all innocent.I guess you missed it when extremist hindus demolished the oldest mosque of india live on TV causing one of the worst riots in indian history :rolleyes:

Paradise/heaven is in your head. There is no right or wrong religion. If there is a God, there is only 1 & everyone worships divinity in their own way. At the end of the day it doesnt matter because no person has come back from the dead and proven that the heaven that all these people hope to go to does exist.
WOW!

Science was used to try and turn people away from god and come up with an explaination for everything, but sorely failed due to lack of evidence in many fields, and hence use lies with no basis to cover their own deficiencies.

I saw her post. But I have no idea which website she got it from, and the man quoted there is a Mr. Amar Ellahi Lone. I have no idea who this man is and the title of Shaykh is not attached to his name which shows he's not a scholar.
Quranic scripture doesn't contain names of the Prophet's wives so I can't provide holy scripture for it. I'm pasting a link to a website I trust because I know some of the scholars who answer questions on there personally.
http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-AAbout_Islam/AskAboutIslamE/AskAboutIslamE&cid=1123996015510
I am not sure if I quoted a Shaykh but here is the website I got it from: http://www.understanding-islam.com/related/text.asp?type=question&qid=371
I just vaguely remember my Teacher telling me...that at that era...female slaves had to give birth to a child before they can free themselves of a slave status. And I do not remember her telling me that he married her...possibly he did so after she gave him a child. Personally I found the whole subject hard to digest - I am still unsure about this whole subject area...I certainly need to look into it more...as I can't find any hadiths on it.

Someone said Islam used to promote slavery. The Prophet used to have sex with his slave girls etc etc.
I think this short speach shows completely the opposite to those lies. An educated man who is repeating what i've heard from others.

As i have already said to someone on this forum. I am NOT a muslim and NO i do not support Islam. I have my problems with Islam as much as the next person BUT I educate myself first unlike the other idiots.
I am fed up with all these bullshit lies about the religion. If u hate the religion make a good arguement. I protect Islam all the time from fucking Hindu idiots (i am Hindu myself) who dont know shit. They critise every religion in the world and then when i ask them how does any sane person worship a monkey god they can't even answer. They don't even know their own religion which makes me ashamed to even call them hindu.
Once we get these stupid uneducated voices out the way then i will make a thread (of an educated person) why i don't like Islam.
nobody has da right to hate any other religion
i would advice all of u to JUST LOVE AND RESPECT UR OWN RELIGION
and please stop hating

First of alll nuff respect going out to the guy who med dis thread
second of all im a muslim and yes im a paki 2 i dont giv a fuk abw a hindu, sikh or a christian hating on me jus cuz am a muslim. Most people are fucking thick they believe wot they see on the tv and not realising before they broadcast the news they have to let the goverment know what they are broadcasting so obviously the dont broadcast the truth do they?
i had a family until a bunch of hindus and sikhs attacked us and shot my brother da dont mean i go round critisising hindusim and sikism or it dont mean i go and judge evry1 the same cz dats agains my religion to critisise another religion. I tink you should all go n check out the meaning of islam which means peace not fukin war thats wot pisses me off is people spread shit you tell some1 1 story da piece of shit will go and telll sum1 else and will exagerate the story abit more. Most ppl critisise my religion over the net and its da holy month 4 us muslims but if i ever get any1 tekin the piss out of my religion infront of my face i swear2 god i wouldnt giv a fuk who they are i will cut the fukin throat. There are thousands of muslims dyin everyday in iraq and wen ders 1 fukin british or american gora die its all over the fukin papers and the news dont believe wot you dont see.
So im fed up of ppl puting some of us muslims in the same category as the fucked up young muslim youths were not all the same so go out there and see the truth rather den sitting at home wv a drink or a burger in your hand watching the tv and letting the shitty goverment brainwash you.

Has anyone noticed that it's usually the guys who say "once you got your period, you're already a young woman." It's like those guys who say "Girls shouldn't get abortions." Let the ladies decide how their own bodies and sexuality work, since they're the onex experiencing it..not you fellas.
Once guys get their first grey hair, they're already gramps. :(
