Mohammad was neither a pedaphile nor warmonger. That 9 year old girl never became his wife until she matured into womanhood. She was promised t oMohammad by his close friend Abu Bakr when she was 9, but they did not marry until she was grown.
The only war Mohammad fought was against attacking Jews who despised his message. They attacked first, he defended himself and won. Instead of killing the vanquished, he urged them to move to another city, and to leave Medina to the Muslims. They complied and stayed alive.

Correction!!
Yes what you say about Aisha is true but you have the fighting part wrong.
Muhammad (pbuh) did not fight the Jews he fought the pagan worshipers in Mekkah. At the time the people of Arabia were mainly pagan and would bring their idols to the Kaaba to be worshiped. The ruling clans in Mekkah did not like Muhammad telling the people of one God so they would tortured and harass the Muslim. Finally the Jew of Media asked for Muhammad (pbuh) to come to their city and run things there.
The people of Mekkah did not like this and would attach the Muslims of Medina there were 3 main wars. All of which the Muslims were out numbered.
The Battle of Badr fought was a key battle in the early days of Islam and a turning point in Muhammad's (pbuh) struggle with the Mekkan Quraish.
The Battle of Uhud was fought between a small Muslim force and a force from Mekkah. Uhud is near Medina. The Muslims had the worst of the encounter and retired after having lost some seventy-five men. However, the Mekkans did not pursue the Muslims into Medina, but marched back to Mekkah.
The Battle of the Trench was an attack by the city of Mekkah on the city Medina in 627. The name "Battle of the Trench" comes from the fact that the Muslims dug a trench north of Medina to protect the city (Medina was naturally fortified on all other fronts). Although Mekkah fielded a larger army it was not unable to overcome the defenses.
Finally the people of Mekkah and Medina would have a truce and the Muslims that wanted to were able to return home.
But the Muslims Christains and Jews lived in peace!

For one I'm open to discussion. Two throughout all of history Islam has never had unbloodied borders weather with each other or with another religion. Three the Jews did not attack Mohammad it was the other way around they kicked him out because he BLASPHEMED God and wanting to convert by force. O my isn't that what Islam means. I'd rather believe in a God who teaches peace than war and converting by war and terror attacks. But the peaceful part of Islam is silent because it is scared of the Minorities the Shiites and Sunnis and their attacks. Stand up and change the Stereotype that all Muslims are terrorist.

Ayesha was 6 when she married Mohammed, 9 when the marriage was consummated:
Read: THE HADITH OF SAHIH BUKHARI
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234 Narrated Aisha:
It starts:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years).

Mohammed fought many battles against all kinds of people, Pagans(idolators ), Jews and Christians
One verse from the Koran:
“Slay the idolators [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the last Day…. Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! (Sura 9:5,29,41).
Note most book store sell paperback copies of the Koran, they are less than $20. Amazon.com has it also, just read it for yourselves.

Then explain this!
A’isha was Abu Bakr’s daughter. Her moth was named Umm Ruman according to al-Tabari vol.9 p.129. She married Mohammed when she was (six) 6 years old, went to his house when (nine) 9. Bukhari vol.7 book 62 ch.60 no.88 p.65; Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 8 no.3309,3310,3311 p.715,716
Contrary to this marriage being important for political reasons, Abu Bakr was the first convert to Islam.
This wife of Mohammed is mentioned in many places, including Sahih Muslim vol.1 book 4 no.1694 p.372; Abu Dawud vol.1 no.1176 p.305; vol.1 no.1268 p.335; vol.1 no.1330 p.350; Abu Dawud vol.1 no.1336 p.351; vol.1 no.1419 p.373; vol.2 no.2382 p.654.
‘Aisha played with dolls while Mohammed was present. Sahih Muslim vol.4 book 29 no.5981 p.1299
‘Aisha was 6 (or 7) years old when she was married, and the marriage was consummated when she was nine years old. al-Tabari vol.9 p.130,131
A’isha was married when she was six years old, and nine when she went to Mohammed’s house. Ibn-i-Majah vol.3 no.1876
Assuming you understand English, you will know what consumate means in the sentence "‘Aisha was 6 (or 7) years old when she was married, and the marriage was consummated when she was nine years old. al-Tabari vol.9 p.130,131". Also he was a war monger, he attacked the Quraish Caravans in Suadi Arabia, he attacked Jews and slaughtered them (I provide refereces for this in my other questions) etc.
Read your religious books well before you make a claim.

"womanhood" = 12 years old. Still paedophila, another Muslim lie. [Just say that was their culture at that time and leave it, don't lie about it.]
"Despised message" = disagreed with Islam. So they were killed. Another Muslim distortion.
We are not 'bashing' Muslims, Muslims are bashing us with real violence.
Across the globe as you read this there are Muslims who are unable to live with their neighbors peacefully who are waging terrorists wars. In south-east Asia, Africa, Europe and all corners of the globe: killing Jews in Seattle and blowing up Jewish center in Argentina, we see Islam on a bloody march.

Thank you for offering to explain Islam. Perhaps you can help me:
.-- Do you approve of marrying 4 wives?
-- Divorcing a wife any time you want and only giving her back her own money with food an clothes for 90 days, even if you are a multi millionaire?
-- The word of a man counting the same as that of 4 women in court?
-- Cuting the hands of thieves off?
-- Stoning young girls and women to death for having sex outside marriage?
-- Of a blind, orphan, girl in Pakistan who was raped by her uncle and his two sons and became pregnant? In the absence of witnesses to the rape, she was sentenced to death by stoning for having sex outside marriage. The sentence was upheld by all the Sharia courts of the country. She was only saved by smuggling her to UK
-- Killing those who leave Islam?
-- Approve of Muslims accepting the hospitality of a country and then bombing its innocent civillians as in US,Spain UK etc etc?
-- The 99% of terrorist organisations all over the world
who all Muslim?
-- Have wild demostrations and behave like savage animals, when a small newspaper in a small country, published a cartoon of Muhammad?
-- Rich Muslims from Saudi Arabia praying 5 times a day and spending the rest of their time in gambling and prostitution? No stoning for them ofcourse.
-- Do you know that most of the richest gambling houses in Europe would have to shut down, were it not for the rich Muslims patronising them?
-- Do you now understand why in the West we say politely that we do not approve of Islam, while privately despise it and fear it?

idk who is bashing Islam, but i think your information is helpful.
quite honestly, i'm sick of people bashing Christians, too. everyone likes to say that God in the old testament is a warmonger and un-forgiving and yet they don't really acknowledge that it was under the law and there were a lot of different requirements going on in those days. a lot of the old testament can now be an example for modern Christians who are no longer under those demanding laws.
i'm sick of intolerence in general. who ever said we all had to be the same?? i think it's crazy and so long as we're not being insane zealots by killing other people for our cause or yelling at ppl because they don't agree, then we should all just agree to disagree and freakin' get along for once.

You make good points....but the Islam bashers do it, because Islam claims to be a "peaceful" religion. If this is true why are the killing their own people? I understand the fight against the military forces. But, why the car bombs that target innocent civilians?

You seem to be getting a lot of mean-spirited "answers" here. That's too bad.
I'm not a Muslim but I have a good Muslim friend who talks to me about his opinions. Those of you who ask why "good" Muslims don't protest "bad" Muslims. I don't see any proof they don't! Not even a statement like: I've never seen one. You just say that they don't. My friend hates Hezbollah! Because of them and Al Queada (sp) the world is getting really hateful towards Muslims. He understands why someone would feel that way, but he really hates it. He doesn't hate the people who blindly hate him, but the people who blindly ruin his religion.

yeah but you forgot to add that aside from the whole pervert thingy... that the scrolls he found in the pots in the desert were half burned up by his mom for cooking fire and he was completely illiterate and couldn't even read them. Your prophet didn't even know what he believed... He had to be told by someone else! How do you therefore know if your religion is based on truth or lies?
