Ignorance is bliss. It's alot easier to accept the propaganda than do actual research.

1) Mohammed married a 9 year-old... Can you tell me where it says it in Quran???
It's not in the Qur'an. It's in the history books.

2) Kabba is an idol... Actually it is not an idol, it is just a stone from heaven that is there in order for Muslims to have order when praying
Christians belief anything that one needs to help you pray, has the potential of being an idol. Maybe you do not pray to the Kabba, but many other certainly seem to.

3) Mohammed is not son of god like Jesus.... Muslims never say or claim he is.
True enough, but then the Qur'an says that Jesus cannot be the Son of God because God has no sons. Islam denigrates Jesus by lowering His role to that of a prophet, like Muhammad. In essence, that RAISES Muhammad up to the level of Jesus, who Christians believe is the Son of God.
From a Christian point of view, you have replaced Jesus with Muhammad, thereby honoring Muhammad as though He were Allah's son. (Just a perceptual difference)

4) Women are treated like objects wearing veils... Actually they aren't, a lot of women who wear mini-skirts are treated like objects, like sex objects
Also true enough. The difference being that women are not treated like possessions in most of the world. Islamic Laws require women to be second class citizens because Muhammad's words in the Qur'an have proclaimed women to be stupid.
Women are even required to use a separate entrance and seat area at your local Starbucks Coffee Shops!

Point #1 It says so in the Hadith. That is the teachings and actions of Muhammad as recorded by his followers and some of his wives and collected by Muslim scholars.
Point#2 I don't know about that one.
Point #3 I never herd any one claim he was.
Point #4 I've been to Saudi Arabia. woman don't wear mini skirts there, That's for sure. They have to enter buses thru the back door like blacks once had to here. They aren't allowed to drive. I saw a small pick up truck going down the road with two men inside and and two women sitting in the truck bed wearing veils and abias.

1) It is historically accepted that Muhammad's dearest wife (one of many), Aisha, was 6 years old when they were married, and they consumated their marriage 3 years later when she was 9.

2) The Kaaba predates Islam, and was originally an idol of the Meccan god.

3) I've never heard anyone argue over wheteher or not Muhammad was the son of God.

4) While wearing a short skirt or a low cut blouse may lead to a woman being "objectified", that is very different than laws being in place that, at the core, regard woman as little more than property of men. Qur'an 4:34 reminds us that "Men have authority over woman beacause God has made the one superior to the other" and also that "Good women are obedient, guarding in the scret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them."

5)There are many more examples of passages like this one.

1. Not all of history is printed in "holy" books. There is enough known history to fill a tractor-trailer - - the Koran is just one book.
2. The kaaba is not from heaven, it's an ordinary meteorite. Museums and scientists cases are loaded with them.
3. You're right. There is no proof of Jesus being the son of God, or even that there is a God.
4. We all know how women compare to men in the Islamic world. Way down the ladder.
5. Right, I know of many. Just listen to the world news.

1. Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.'

That's where the quote appears. I have not read the Quran, so I cannot say if that is in Quran or another book.

2. Never heard that one.

3. Never heard that one.

4. You are so right about the mini-skirts (and worse).

Prophet Mohammed married to Aisha is not mentioned in the Quran. It is mentioned in the hadith.
Women who wear mini-skirts wear it on their own choice. Just because she is wearing a mini skirt does not mean she is a whore. It is just fashion.

no 4 point was spot on, and its true. I think people attack islam because they don't understand the first thing about it.I don't know anything about it really, except to say that the muslim family in our street are no different than most people in society. they want the best for their kids,to be a family, to do the things other individuals like to do free from labelling them and victimising them because of the actions of a few individuals. people forget the likes of george bush/tony blair are christians, and their policies have resulted in the deaths of thousands of people. difference is they can stand behind corrupt political policies..the comments you mentioned above are made by ignorant and fearful people.

Islam is a scary unknown to most of us. Making it absurd, farfetched, or backwards makes us feel somehow better about ourselves.

This practice isn't limited to Islam. Similar prejudice and smear tactics have been used against ethnic and cultural minorities for a long time. It's called xenophobia.

Most hate is fear-based. Maybe that makes you feel better. Maybe not.

Be an agent of peace. It will be hard for people to hold on to extremist views about you if you present a normal, rational, and friendly appearance. Best wishes.

Yes so many people are ignorant and like to potray muslims as evil beings.
Extremists have nothing to do with Islam and are just a minority of people who are potrayed on the media to give a bad name.
