What most christians seem to forget is that Mary got married to Joseph!And what does it matter if Jesus was not concieved through sex?Mary was still pregnant and she was a young girl!
Then they hav the nerve to condemn a man when his marriage to Aisha was legitimate!
Heck in America there are states that allows marriage for 12yr olds!
EDIT:to the person below me:AISHA was NOT related to Muhammad!Abu Bakr, Aisha's father, was Muhammad spiritual brother,his comrade!

nobody condemened mohammed from having a child bride. He was only being asked why the people should be put to death if not converted to Muslim (Jihad-holy war). On the other hand, Jesus promise of eternal life to those who believe in Him. who is expressing unconditional love here? The one who was brought up from a Virgin birth or the one who has a child bride? think about it.

Mary was not impregnated by mortal sex duo...She was overshadowed/a seed was transfered into her womb by the Holy Spirit for human flesh development for Jesus to live 33 years on earth for a mission...Why this special process ???
JESUS should be FREE from ORIGINAL SIN (inherited sin of humankind from the first parents from disobedience, of eating the fruit of knowledge, sex, reproductions of human race.)
While Muhammad choose a young girl for his lust?

One..the child the 'prophet' took was only 9...two he broke his own law in that she was related to him..three..the age of Mary is uncertain, she may have been as young as 10 or as old as 15..fourth..The impregnation of Mary was an act of God..not an act of lust!

It was an immaculate conception, no sex was involved.
However if you want to compare ages.....
There are several hadiths (said to have been narrated by Aisha herself) which state she was six or seven years old when she was married and nine years old when the marriage was consummated.

Keep in mind that the references in the bible and the Koran are mythological retellings of history, and should not be considered absolute fact.

There is a difference between a mature 16- 18 Old virgin who receives the good news of the gospel & between a man who lust a child & sleep with her! Why then there is something call a child molester?????
If you can read, then you may understand that God was talking about a pristine order not about a sex arrangement with a child!
Luke 1
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
34"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
35The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[c] the Son of God. 36Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37For nothing is impossible with God."
38"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!"
Mary's Song
46And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55to Abraham and his descendants forever,
even as he said to our fathers."

Because (A) God is God and Mohammed is not and (B) God did not have sex with Mary.

Why point fingers at others, that someone else did something wrong too never makes something that is wrong any the less wrong.
