It's Okay, If Muhammad Did It
Muhammad is held up by Muslims as a paragon of virtue. Someone that people should emulate. The question people have been asking is: Was Muhammad a pedophile? Many Muslims say "No!" But some Muslims like Hamas believe that Muhammad married a child and consummated the relationship. They believe it so much that 450 Palestinian men married 450 prepubescent girls in a public celebration. Why do they feel justified in carrying out such a thing?
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).” (Bukhari 7.62.88)”
