salam all
i noticed that a lot of non muslims weather they were christianes or jews or any anknown relegion hate muslims and prophet mohammad for
reasons that they asked and mentioned a lot ....
-1-As for Aisha being 9 years old? There is much debate as to the validity of the hadith b/c they were historic and thus not held the the same standard for accuracy as ones on religion; the age may have even been exaggerated by the society to make "her all the more virgin." There are many stances on this point; please see the wikipedia article to get an understanding of the different Points of View. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha%27s_age_at_marriage
-2-In this world today, Muslims are the most backward, uneducated, and violent people at times. There has been a terrible chain of events that helped cause this; the fault being Muslims' and on Imperialists etc. The leaders of the Muslims are often the worst among them, and reflect this sad sad time. The mullahs twist faith to try to get themselves political power, and unfortunately, many fall into their traps. Terrible atrocities have been committed in the name of religion; but if they didn't have religion...they would probably use some other excuse however weak to kill. Pan-Islamic sentiments just worked conveniently for them to twist given the circumstances. If in a different era, perhaps they would have used nationalism, ethic pride or who knows what else. I can understand with the current situation why certain verses in the Quran out of context may seem to explain the violence, but that is what the extremists want. If we believe their twisted words, we fall into their trap and turn an otherwise beautiful faith into a monstrous death cult. So is what they are practicing a monstrous death cult? Perhaps; but is that Islam as it was revealed? No.

I'm a christian and i don't hate muslims. Not all muslims are violent or agree with the terrorist attacks that have been going on. There are powerful sects out there that are brain washing muslims to commit these atrocities. The leaders tell them that they need to carry out a suicide bombing because of jihad or holy war. When really there is no jihad, only one that has been created in the minds of these brainwashed people who go ahead and do this. I have spoke to many muslims who have tried to apologize for these things happening, but it is just not their fault, there is no need for their apologies. Islam is a peaceful religion and always has been, these so called leaders have finally succeeded in turning people against each other and causing choas and mass hysteria Causing people to be too quick to judge a person just because they dare to be muslim.

I find other episodes in Mohammed's life far more troubling and disgusting than the his marriage to Aisha. In those days, child brides were common and we can't project modern more's on people who lived 1300 years ago.
And what you say in your second point is very true. But I wonder. Is the extremist message a co-opted, perverted Islam or true Islam? Is what the so-called extremists are doing and preaching today all that different from what Mohammed and the early Islamic leaders preached? But what is most troubling is the huge level of support from muslims all around the world for the acts of these so-called extremists. Other than a fair number of muslims in America, all polling has shown that the extremist views and acts are supported and celebrated by at least 80% of muslims world-wide.
The problem now isn't whether Islam has been co-opted. It's dealing with what Islam has become....and that is simply the most dangerous philosophy the world has ever witnessed. I fear more lives will be lost in the coming battles than in all previous wars combined.
Personally, however, I do not believe that Islam has changed all that much in 1300 years. America's first war against Islamic terrorists occurred some 200 years ago during the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson built a navy and sent a contingent of Marines to North Africa to stop Islamic pirates from capturing christian sailors and selling them into slavery. Hence, the Marine Corps Hymn cites the 'shores of Tripoli'...the first US foreign war.

OK, now why does the koran call for the destruction of the Jewish people? why does the koran call for the Jews and Christians to be killed? why do parents kill their daughters if the daughters are rape? Why can't the Jews and the Christians go up to the Temple Mount to Worship GOD (even though mohammad NEVER set foot there) but the Temple of GOD was there long before mohammad? why are artifacts from Solomon's stables being removed by the truck loads daily and destroyed? These artifacts prove Jews and Christians claims to the Temple Mount.
Why can muslims have those loud speakers blasting out calls to "prayer" but if I went up to the Temple Mount wearing a Cross or Star of David necklace or if I even closed my eyes and gave the appearance of praying, I would be rushed on by angry muslims and taken to jail( if I lived that long)
I really would like an answer to these questions. Honestly. I know that muslims get all offended so easily but I would like to understand the reasons behind these things.

First, I don't hate Muslims. I do not believe Muhammad was a prophet. What exactly has he prophesied? Islam twists Christianity and defies The Christ. There is no prophecy telling of Muhammad. Just the fact that Islam exists is an insult to Christianity, but that's ok with you. You don't mind telling the world that The Bible is distorted. I don't mind telling the world that Islam is a false teaching. The Holy Bible tells us to beware of false teachings and God's Word is absolutely right.
May God Bless you.

Aisha was 9. There is no indications that she had reached puberty. Muhammed married her when she was 6. Why marry a 6 year old. That in and of itself is perverse.
Islam has proven itself violent. 95% of the worlds wars involve muslims. Thems the facts.

i'm not a sturdy muslim now so i'm unable to be a hundred% beneficial that i might have. Nor am i able to assert that i might. I do purely not know, that's frustrating. i'm extremely truly puzzled on issues that I should not be puzzled on already so perchance i might have believed him as i might have considered/heard for myself or it might desire to have long gone any incorrect way as i might desire to be ignorant mind-blowing now. It actual scares me.

Good points made in # 2
Islamic culture is now at where Christian culture was about 400 years ago.

The really funny thing is Mary was only around 13 when she had Jesus. Is God a pedophile, too?
