Yes. Mohamed had multiple wives. But then, oh, so did Solomon, David, Abraham, and a whole host of Judea Christian prophets. Maybe you "Bible Thumping" individuals should actually read what you are thumping.
Secondly, no one knows Aisha's age, when she got married. It could be anywhere between 9 to 16. Sources vary. And this was in an era, where 30 was considered old. We can't judge what may have happened 1400 years ago, by 21st century standards.
As for the raping, pillaging bit. Lets see, in 3 years Medina got attacked three times. What was he supposed to say? "Come, Come, have a jolly good time!" or "Fight with honor".
The last few years of his life, as well as before he became a fairly wealthy trader, he had ample opportunity to indulge in rape, pillaging ,and so on, yet all sources, even though those hostile to him agree he did not.
Remember little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So think twice before coming out with ludicrous statements like the one you just made.
Idiot.

as for Aisha, the 9 year old wife, there was a question about her and it was answered amazingly by someone who understand islam very well, i'll try to find it for you
each wie of Muhammad (PBUH) had a certain purpose for marriage- widowed, divorced, etc which was a way of teaching muslims about that
concubines are not permitted in islam, you probably mean slaves which were permitted everywhere.. i dont know about that (although i doubt it) so i will not talk about it
lies, murders, rapes and pillaging?? i have no idea where you got this info
1- Muhammad was known as the honest, the honorable before islam in the first place, and no one dared call himm a liar even when he talked of islam, they said he was a poet or a crazy man but not a liar (the pagans said that btw)
2- rape is forbidden in islam (we're not talking about muslim women only) and it has the worst punishment
3- murders were also forbidden in islam except with reason (mentioned in Quran, u could read it) there was even a story from the life of the prophet about a man in another town that kept spreading lies and false talk about the prophet (much like what you are doing now) and the companions wanted the prophet to order them to kill him and he refused.. hardly murderous at all
4- about the pillaging part, in any of the wars of islam, it was forbidden to kill a woman, an old man, a child, or an unarmed man.. it was even forbidden to cut down a tree.. i hardly think that's pillaging
please manage your sources, make sure they're truly islamic (not fraud) and definitely not gossip

I think Cinnamon said what is right. Why do you care if you are so close minded. And if Islam is so bad, why 1/5 of the world are Muslims ? And why many people allover the world turn into Islam despite the bad image created by the media about Islam. It seems you are just affected by media and you don't have enough will to seek correct information. You rather accuse and show no respect to other religions ignorantly

I cannot prove you wrong. I am a Christian. I know very little about islam, but I do believe that the judgement of any religion should be left up to God. There are people in all forms of churches who have wrong ideas. they believe they are right , but are the meanest, judgemental and people condemning people. I ask the holy spirit to lead me in my quest for salvation because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. I am not going to go through this journey upon Earth condemning and maligning others.
I will not talk about something I know nothing about, especially insulting others belief.

Muhammad (pbuh) had several wives, several of who were widowed with no way of providing for themselves other than by marrying. Women in those days lost husbands to warfare, and didn't have another way of sustinence. Poly marriage in Islam isn't a sexual "free-for-all" for the men, and if you think this, you're dead dead dead wrong. The men have to provide for all wives and treat them all equally. That means that they can't have one living in a penthouse and the other in the projects, it doesn't work that way. If one lives in a penthouse, the other does as well.
Muhammad (pbuh) had NO concubines, this is false information. In other words, you are lying.
Murder: For 13 yrs the Meccans persecuted Muslims in many ugly ways. They beat them, stole from them, put them in jails, and even killed them. They could and did not fight back, because God did not give them the okay to do so. After it was revealed to Muhammad that they can defend themselves, they did so. They were to kill the Christians and Jews . This has been wayyyyyyy taken out of context, for example, by people like you. ONLY while in combat were they to kill. Of course they were to kill, the Christians and Jews and polytheists who were persecuting them were trying to kill them. I mean, it WAS combat! They were to defend themselves IN COMBAT. They were to treat POW's with the most kindness. Did you get that? With kindness. If someone surrendered, the Muslims were instructed not to strike them.
They DID NOT PILLAGE. This was forbidden for Muslims to do, as it's written in the Qur'an. Again, you are telling lies.
Muhammad and Aisha had a loving marriage. Did you hear that? It was a MARRIAGE. It wasn't a bf/gf relationship, bf/gf stuff is haram (forbidden by God) in Islam. There's NO hanky panky in Islam unless it's within marriage. They married when she was a child, they did not consummate their relationship until years later. Their love was true, profound, beautiful, that she never gossiped about him, never spoke badly of him, not even after he passed away. And she never remarried. EVER. She loved him through and through, he was super kind to her.
How many people nowadays <> they had this kind of marriage??? Everyone.

first of all we are not in a game we in life trying to stop the illusions of other religions we are trying to get people from the worshiping of people the worshiping of the creator of the universe .
i think you should go to Saudi Arabia and try to stand in the sun over there for 10 minutes you will find it a very hot land ,
and lets go the science of biology which says that the hot lands and deserts lands girls could reach the (sexual) maturity in less time than cold countries so when he married the girl that you say he married here in the year of 11 not 9 as you says she was (sexual) mature, so Apparently you didn't know that the mother of the one you call was only 11 when she GAVE BIRTH to her first child .this answer only to full fill your curiosity not for the defend of him. and you you should get matur this is life and religion not game.
