Is it true that Islam allows for child molestation?

Question

When I read that prophet Muhammed had married a 9-year old child, I thought that might be just an exception, but I was shocked when I read in many Islamic books that a muslim man can have young sex slaves (concubines) and he can have sex with those slaves regardless of their age.

That horrible teaching is shown in many Islamic (Fiqh) books by very well-known Muslim scholars (all links are in Arabic):

http://quran.al-islam.com/Tafseer/DispTafsser.asp?l=arb&taf=KATHEER&nType=1&nSora=65&nAya=4

I could not believe my eyes when I read that. I have always thought that Islam is the religion of high morals.

Does anyone have any explanation for those horrific teachings?

Answer 1

My friend you are mistaking for judaism

Answer 2

Back in those times, the life expectance was about 30-35 years old, so it was necessary to marry younger. If you are christian, than you beleive in the Virgin birth, How old was mary when she gave birth to Jesus? only 14 and at that time, she was also engaged to Joseph who had children older than she was.

Answer 3

Yes it is very true. Their prophet said it was good that is why they do this. If you think that was surprising wait til you read the ones I have. http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/ayesha.htm

More and more information is becoming available on this religion. Yes it is called Anti Christ. They do not believe one thing about Jesus.

Answer 4

Allah or Jesus?
By Rick Mathes
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths who explained their belief systems. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.
The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn I directed my question to the Imam and asked: Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no disagreement with my statements and without hesitation he replied, "Non-believers!"
I responded, So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to heaven. Is that correct? The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, Yes.
I then stated, Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Pat Robertson or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to heaven! The Imam was speechless.
I continued, I also have problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question-would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and wants you to be with me? You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Chuck Colson once told me something that has sustained me these 20 years of prison ministry. He said to me, Rick, remember that the truth will prevail. And it will!
Jesus is the thruth, the way and the life!

Answer 5

Hmmmmm....

I read one of (leading Islamic cleric) Ayatollah Khomeini's books in college.

Here it says:

"A man can have sex with animals such as sheep¹s, cows, camels and so on. However he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, however selling the meat to the next door village should be fine."

From Khomeini's book, "Tahrirolvasyleh", fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990
