Islamist apologists have so many excuses for why Muhammad consummated his marriage to a 9 year old girl. They say "it was common to marry young in those days". But that is only a half-truth. It was more common for 14-15 year old boys to have arranged marriages with 12 year old girls. However, it has not been common in ANY culture, ANYWHERE on the planet for a man in his mid-50's to take a 6 year old wife and rape her at age 9 while she's still playing with her dolls and has no idea what sex is.
In the event Aisha had started her menses at this young age, this still would not excuse the disgusting behavior of a 54 year old man who would be in jail if he lived in modern times.
Other arguments that Aisha was much older or over 18 have all been thoroughly debunked.
How can this disgusting behavior be tolerated? What does this mean for the validity of Islam and Mohammed's repackaged pagan moon god "Allah" ?
