Is it normal for an oversexed old man (Muhammad had over 9 wives and concubines) to dream of a union with a 4-5 year old girl?
Muhammad was basically oversexed, his sexual relationship with Aisha is a special case,
which fits his strong need for a larger latitude to satisfy his sexual urge, as is witnessed by:
"The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the prophet was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Sa'id said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven)." [Bukhari.1:268]
When she was 6, Muhammad asked Abu Bakr, Aisha's father, for her hand. Abu Bakr thought it was improper, because, as he said "I am your brother"; Muhammad brushed aside Abu Bakr's reservation by saying that it was perfectly lawful for him to marry Aisha [ Ref: SAHIH BUKHAR I7:18].
What happened to " there is no compulsion in matters of religion ?" Anyway what compulsion did Muhhammad need being a prophet his word was law, he restricted men to only four wives when he himself had more than four, that was a convenient exemption for Muhhammad.
So, Aisha was betrothed to Muhammad, and 3 years later, i.e. when Aisha was 9, the marriage was consumated(they had sex). And Muhammad was "53" then [SAHIH BUKHARI
1991:236,7:64,7:65,7:88] .
The 3 year waiting period probably had to do with the fact that at that time Aisha had contracted a disease, she lost her hair. Aisha was then socially and psychologically still a child as is evidenced by the fact that she was still given to her toys, she was unaware of what was happening around her, and her playmates behave as would the children at present times
[Sahih Bukhari 8:151,5:234].
Aisha became Muhammad's favourite wife. And the sexuality in the relationship was predominant [SAHIH BUKHARI .1.270, 3:36, 7:6, 3:148, 3:149, 3:150, 7:142, IbnSa'd 1pg165 ]. Later, Aisha was to be called the "mother of believers". **If you are wondering, yes, the relationship was pedophilic.
When did the sexual relations between Prophet Mohammad and his child bride begin?
At the age of 10.** It is certain that she had barely reached puberty when she moved into Muhammad's house, which in itself, contrary to the prevailing social norms, is a tacit implication that he may indulge in whatever fantasies he may have had when he asked for Aisha's hand. And Muhammad did have sexual fantasies about Aisha quite often.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151: Narrated 'Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, and the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, and had reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Baripage 143, Vol.13)
It is, however, very unlikely that Muhammad would have waited for the onset of the menses; or at most it could have been just after the 1st drops. The evidence is necessarily indirect.
# His strong desire to "graze of the (tree) of which nothing has been eaten
before", as his other wives had not been virgins.
# Menses or fasting do not reduce Muhammad's desire and potency for sex.
# New additions to his harem lead to intensive sexual activity, e.g. arrival of
Maria lead to increased, initial spurt of sexual activity to the neglect of others .
# The intervals between prayers are used for quick stands "I used to wash the
traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it."
# Other wives try to please Muhammad by sacrificing their turns in favor of
Aisha.
# During his last fatal illness he cries: "Where will I be tomorrow? Where willI be tomorrow?", seeking Aisha's turn.
Prophet Say: Marry Young Virgins Volume 7, Book 62, Number 17: Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the young virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?'
Silent Children : Volume 7, Book 62, Number 67: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How can we know her permission?" He said, "Her silence (indicates her permission)." She was Silent because she was in a state of fear.
Where sex is akin to a crime, silence is admission of your guilt. What a corruption of "fitrah" (human nature).
What religion condones the destruction of childhood? What are we who daily avow our undying love for Allah to do against a system that ruthlessly oppresses its youngest and brightest ?
What was Aisha's age? I have heard other figures ... (A question also known as: How many of your own sources will you deny ? ) All the relevant sources (Bukhari, Ibn Hisham, Tabari, Ibn al-Athir, Ibn Sa'd, Ibn Hanbal, etc.) maintain that Aisha was bethroted to Mohammed when she was 6, and the marraige was consummated 3 years later.
'Mahommad - The Word of Allah' written by Anne-Marie Delcambre. (Anne-Marie Delcambre has a doctorate in 'Islamology', and taught Islamic Civilisation at the Saint Joseph University of Beyrouth in Lebanon). On page 69, it says that he was married to her when she was 9 years old.
Dates commonly accepted by scholars: Birth Muhammad(570), birth Aisha(614 or
1992). Bethrothal(620 or 621), Consummation of marriage(623 or 624). In particular the
"consummation" of marriage is said to have taken place after the hidjra in Shawwal 1 or 2.
Between 621 and 623 Asiha is said to have contracted a disease whereby she temporarily lost her hair. (Ref 1)
She could not have been more than 10 years when she went to live in Muhammad's house. The fact that she took her toys with her to her new home indicates that she was psychologically and socially still a child. And the fact that she was allowed to play with dolls indicates that she had already reached puberty by this time. ("The playing with the dolls and similar images was(is) forbidden, but it was allowed for Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, and had reached the age of puberty."Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13). Besides, there is also Aisha's own statement which implies that she had reached puberty when she moved into Muhammad's house[Sahih Bukhari 7.163]. I am sure she would have been able to recount accurately as to when and where she got her first menses. Most girls do
remember such events rather accurately. (Refs 2)
What is "sick" is that Muhammad had started to dream of a union with Aisha already when she was 4-5 years old: "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you...(and) I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen." He was to use a similar tactic when he wanted to marry his step son's wife. A tactic which Aisha later came to understand as fraud, as in: "Aisha said: O Allah's Apostle! I do not see, but, that your Lord hurries in pleasing you." (Refs 2)
Muhammad wasted no time in realizing what he had been dreaming. Already when Aisha was 6 "The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry." Here it does not seem that Abu Bakr consented to the marriage wholeheartedly.

**Would you let your daughters go through this ?**

Answer 2

I hate to say this because I believe in God but not organized religion.......I would have to say yes or at least it couldn't be any worse. Religions today are so bent on destroying each other, my religions better than yours, blah blah blah. The two worst offenders are Evangelicals and Radical Islamist, I wish these two would simply kill each other off and leave the rest of us alone.

As for having more education or health care, although some religious organizations do contribute, and in some cases a great deal, I don't know if not having religion would change the status quo much.

Oh and for mz's list, allow me to give you the nations in which religion is paramount:

Iran
Iraq
Israel
Lebanon
Syria
Saudi Arabia
Zaire
Nigeria
India
Azerbaijan
and too a lesser degree the United States of America

Need I go on..............

Answer 3

Let's consider some countries where religion has been officially done away with by the government, and then answer the question:

Soviet Union
Communist China
North Korea
Vietnam
Myanmar
Cambodia
Angola
Cuba
Eastern Europe before the fall of the Berlin Wall
Uganda
Laos
Nazi Germany

Need I go on!?

Answer 4

Not necessarily. There will always be a way to sell the public on war and aggression. Religion is just a very effective tool.

Answer 5

No. The world would be more peaceful if people treated others as they wished to be treated.

Answer 6

Not necessarily. I think if people followed the religions as they were intended to be followed (and not to push one's own personal agenda) then it would be much more peaceful.

Answer 7

Would the world be more peaceful without capitalism?

Answer 8

Maybe.. but the thing is, even if religions DO dissapear.. there will always be Sports, Politics....and so on.. there's always something to argue about...

Answer 9

nope. history always repeats itself.
even without religions, if there'r still greed, prejudice, injustice, discrimination and hatred among us, human will find other reasons to fighting each other.
if there's no religion, there'r still race, nation, color skin, etc and mostly resources as the reason to fight.

Answer 10

i think if we respected other people' views, opinion's and belief's then the world would be peaceful world to live in.
