Ahmed mo2nis makes a comparison between Mohammed
and Solomon. How absurd. No where do we have evidence of
Solomon committing child abuse. Most Muslim clerics agree
that Mohammed consummated his marriage with his favorite
wife Aisha when she was 9 years old. Solomon admitted in
the end that most things(that would include polygamy)
are simply vanity.
Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.
Ecc 9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion in [this] life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
Ecc 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is] vanity.
It is no secret that 50% of Afghan Women are physically disabled
because of prepubescent sex.
One wife is more that any man should have to handle. Anything
more than that is Masochistic.
I Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!
9-5-6
EDIT: Just friends states in his 8th paragraph that the NT makes
no injunction against plural marriages.
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Tts 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Hope that helps.

So this means you really did not want to learn . You just want to confuse people .This question has answers in many history books . Every wife he had married were of importance . He is the reason for the world to be created.Billons of people follow him .What if he was such a man thinking about only women ? Nobody would follow him . It is not nice to ask such questions to lead people in the wrong way. I am so sorry to have read such a question . I belive it has been done mistakenly.If you do not mind I would ask you to read his life history to get to know him .
In the Holy Book QURAN all the important prophets mentioned .Jesus is one of them . We love Jesus and Mohammad deeply and accept what they have announced originaly.My closest friends name is Jesus and this was given him bt a muslim family.
People who live in crytal houses shouldnt throw stones to others .
Hope you will have a deeper understanding about other beliefs from now on .
May God bless you

Why did prophet Mohammad (pbuh) marry many wives??
When people hear that the prophet had many wives they conclude without much thought that the prophet was a sensuous man. However, a quick historical review of his marriages, proves otherwise.
When he was 25 years old he married for the first time. His wife, Khadijah, was fifteen years older than he. She remained the only wife of the prophet for the next twenty-five years, until she died (may Allah be pleased with her).
Only after her death, did the prophet marry other women. Now, it is obvious that if the prophet was after physical pleasure he did not have to wait until he was more than fifty years old to start marrying more wives. He lived in a society in which it was quite acceptable to have many wives. But the prophet remained devoted to his only wife for twenty-five years. When she died she was sixty-five years old.
His later marriages were for various reasons. Some marriages were with the view to help the women whose husbands had been killed while they were defending their faith. Others were with a view to cement relationships with devoted followers like Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Yet others were to build bridges with various tribes who were otherwise at war with the Muslims. When the prophet became their relative through marriage, their hostilities calmed down, and much bloodshed was averted.
Recent non-Muslim writers who had the opportunity to study the life of the prophet first-hand reach a similar conclusion about his plural marriages.
John L. Esposito, Professor of Religion and Director of the Centre for International Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, says that most of these marriages had "political and social motives" (Islam: The Straight Path, Oxford University Press, 1988, p. 19). This he explained as follows: "As was customary for Arab chiefs, many were political marriages to cement alliances. Others were marriages to the widows of his companions who had fallen in combat and were in need of protection" (John L. Esposito, Islam: The Straight Path, pp. 19-20). Esposito reminds us of the following historical fact: "Though less common, polygyny was also permitted in biblical and even in postbiblical Judaism. From Abraham, David, and Solomon down to the reformation period, polygyny was practiced" (p. 19).
Another non-Muslim Caesar E. Farah writes as follows: "In the prime of his youth and adult years Muhammad remained thoroughly devoted to Khadijah and would have none other for consort. This was an age that looked upon plural marriages with favor and in a society that in pre-Biblical and post-Biblical days considered polygamy an essential feature of social existence. David had six wives and numerous concubines (2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3) and Solomon was said to have had as many as 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3). Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines (2 Chronicles 11:21). The New Testament contains no specific injunction against plural marriages. It was commonplace for the nobility among the Christians and Jews to contract plural marriages. Luther spoke of it with toleration" (Caesar E. Farah, Islam: Beliefs and Observances, 4th edition, Barron's, U.S. 1987, p. 69). Caesar Farah then concluded that Muhammad's plural marriages were due "partly to political reasons and partly to his concern for the wives of his companions who had fallen in battle defending the nascent Islamic community" (p. 69).

Your last name is love but from reading all the questions you have asked makes me think you are nothing but full of HATE. All of the questions are against Muslims/Islam. Do your religion teach you to be like that, Are you insane?
