I once saw a guy ask if muhammed married a 6 year old girl when he was 50 and had sex with her when she was 9.
After the question about 500 people wrote that he was spreading hate, was a racist, and making things up.
A well meaning muslim posted on another question that this was a good site to learn about Islam, so I went there:
http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?ref=12708&ln=eng
2 – It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married her when she was six years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine, and she stayed with him for nine years.
Feel free to look around the site and find more crazy stuff, as there is a lot.
Do muslims think they should denounce this guy and al-Bukhaari and al-Tabari also the same way they did with the muhammed cartoons?

Oh, ya. this guy says all kinds of freaky stuff, and he seems to be able to back it up really well. I would like to see a moderate muslim debate with him......but the Silence on this question is pretty deafning

People in the past rode horses all the time.
If you see someone right now riding a horse to work, you will call him crazy, why is that??
It is because life has changed.
It is the same thing, people in the past used to get married young. Old people marrying young women was something normal.
Right now, it is not.
Prophet Mohammed didn't do anything wrong.
When he got married to Aisha, no one said anything about it. Not Muslims, not Christians, not Jews, not Romans, not Persians.
In Mohammed's time, he was accused of many things. He was called crazy, magician, but not Pedo.
If what he did was wrong, why didn't anyone say anything?? If his enemies didn't say anything.
Do you know that in California around 1890, the age of consent was raised 12 years old??
Were Americans Pedophilia at that time??
My grandmother, who is American, got married when she was 9 years old to an 18 years old man in the US. No said anything about that being wrong.
Right now, try to get married to a 16 years old. You will be thrown to Jail.
In summary,
Life changes. Normal things in the past became crazy now. And normal things now, will become crazy and wrong in the future.

Most muslims don't know islam. They are what I would call "cultural muslims". However, islam as recorded in the Quran and the sahih hadiths are far from tolerant and is definitely not a religion of peace.

Just because you marry someone it doesn't mean you have intercourse with them.
this is just the American mentality that if you marry someone you HAVE to have intercourse with them.
because all these hadiths and narrations that you're quoting say that she MARRIED him Nothing say that she had intercourse but we all assume that because of our mentality.
