Yes, that pretty much sums it up. The guy had sexual issues.
1. He marries a six year old.
2. He allows more than one wife per man.
3. He says it's okay to rape slaves.
4. He says you get 72 virgins waiting for you in heaven if you die for him. I'm sorry... I thought heaven was supposed to be about spirituality -- not sins of the flesh.
I wish people would open their eyes to this stuff.

JT-you are wrong on Rebekah's age. Issac worked for Laban for 7 years, to marry her. But, he was tricked and Leah was his bride. So, he worked another 7 years in order to marry Rebekah. So, she had to be 14plus how ever old she was when they met.
Why do people scream so about Mohammad marrying Aisha at a young age? The marriage was not consummated till she was a woman. And, the marriage wa to cement two families together, as it was done back then. Why are they judged by today's standards and ways? Usually then, people died young, so married young.

not all muslims agree what age muhammad married aisha.
some says six, nice, twelve and even eighteen.
but all agree that he didnot had sex until aisha reached puberty.
sex not allowed before 18 is a new thing. dont see the past with a present eye.

First of all she was 9 years old,secondly there is no provin fact yet in muslim culture that's true,cuz there is still a part of religious muslim that says that the story is not true,but it was true,at the ancient arabian time that was normal.
The people used to married young girl,and in american law it called pedofille,but till now(india,china,pakistan,malysia,saudi arabia..........)there r people who marries young girl...does that mean 3/4 of world population are pedofille!

Don't be so damned scared of "offending" someone. Let's all quit cowering and stand up for our rights to speak our mind! Yes. moe was a pedophile. He was also an adulterer, rapist, murderer, warlord, occultist and many other sundry evil things. He was certainly insane and the only way his "religion" spread was by force and death.

I am a Muslim.
Actually, The Prophet(PBUH) was married to Ayesha(pbuh) when she was nine. One of his most beloved companions arranged for the marriage, because he knew how good of a person Muhammad was. Ayesha still lived with her father when she was married. Once she passed puberty, she lived with Muhammad. It was allowed to marry a child bacjk then, but they can only live with you once they have past puberty. Muhammad passed away in Ayesha's lap.

it was 9 years old "nine" and she wasn't a kid .. in that's age when the women had the period that's mean she can marry .. and as all Arabs in that age doing the same so its a culture "its BEFORE1400 years" so why some people make this as a problem?

Abraham's son, Isaac, married Rebekah when she was 3 and he was 40, so are you condemning Jews & Christians for supporting pedophilia?
If not, why not?
