Mohamed has answered all of your questions in record time :) I’d like to say thanks to Mohamed for taking the time to answer them all quite thoroughly… I really do appreciate it as I’m sure many of you do as well.
Now, when you leave comments on Mohamed’s answers, please use some common sense and show a little respect. Mohamed knows he’s in the minority on this site, so let’s not throw blind insults. I want Just Ask! to be enjoyable and informative for everyone.
Thanks,

I was very much impressed with these answers, for the most part. The only one I wondered about was the last. As far as proving the Holocaust goes, for one, don’t we have people who were alive during the time and experienced it first hand? That, and the actual remains of camps, and the journals and other written evidence (like the Diary of Anne Frank, which I assume most of us have at least heard of) seem very heavily in favor of it being true. I mean, that doesn’t guarantee it’s true beyond any doubt, but really you could doubt all of history to some degree. But overall I have to say this Q & A was a very good idea.
I wanted to ask how he felt about Mohamed being a pedophile; sleeping with a 6 year old child and all. :\
Guys,
I answered these questions as you requested, and the questions brings more questions, I think you are smart people, if you need the answer you will find it.
I did that, just to reach the message, you are free to believe what ever you want. As I said I’m not going to judge you, I’m the same like you. I’m no better than any body and nobody is better than me.
I did as Gasnomo asked me and as I promised him, I didn’t dodge any question, but you have more questions and I work two jobs, I ngelected one of them for you guys, so I have answers for you other questions, but I can’t keep on arguing.
You all know the answer on the internet for all your questions, so if you do little bit research you will get the truth.
You can worship the apes, monkeys, the smoke or even ants, it’s your belief, I invited you worship god where there is nothing like it, but you are free in this life, so good luck.
To Rickler:
This is a good question and being a Muslim I did ask a few of the more serious Muslims about this question. From what I heard the age 6 isnt correct. I think it is 11. Anyhow – the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not sleep with the girl – the relationship was established to promote peace/harmony among warring tribes by reconciling them. Establishing relationships for the sake of peace is still popular today in places.
Anyhow – did the Prophet or didnt he? As an agnostic Muslim I have no idea. Who knows what happened a thousand years ago. One can construct a fiery argument either way.
FYI – I’m not the same Mohammed that answered the questions above. Mohammeds as you can tell are aplenty :)
right he slept with her when she got 14…
I’ll join any religion that let’s me sleep with children!!
Create your own, people do it all the time…
y pick only muslims? havent u heard The youngest reported parents were an eight and a nine year old in China during 1910? surely they had “slept” with each other to produce the baby… and while at it lets make this clear that ayesha was prophet Mohammed’s (pbuh) WIFE!! and she wasnt 6 when he started living with her. .
“y pick only muslims? ”
Considering we don’t only pick only muslims(look around the website a little). To be honest you muslims just give us SO much material.
“The youngest reported parents were an eight and a nine year old in China during 1910? surely they had “slept†with each other to produce the baby…”
So that somehow makes adults having sex with children totally ok?. You’re one sick bastard.
Well said, Irish! That’s always been one of my problems with Mohammed (the prophet, you see, not our various posters here). Particularly since the two translations I have seen regarding the Aisha controversy both indicated Mohammed had sexual desire for her.
in the name of allah, the all-merciful, the compasionate
i think the reason muhammed married Aisha (the son of Ubu Bakr, the first caliph who usurped ali’s right) was to reflect the oness of the future ummah. ubu bakr, umar and uthman all approached the prophet and asked to marry his daughter fatime. Muhammed refused every time saying it was allah’s choice. when ali approached muhammed accepted. now the shia sunni split is due to a few differences. both schools of thought share the majority of beliefs.
by marrying Aisha (not having a sexual relationship obviously becuse muhammed did not have children from her)muhammed is possibly trying to support the future ummah from coming together after the split. i dunno its just a thought.. but id like to make itclear they did not have a sexual relationship
Irish..
You DO have a way of insulting people: quote… ‘you’re one sick bastard’… I agree with you that the whole subject is rather distasteful, however, pedophilie is widespread in all societies AND religions. It’s in our human nature to be attracted to the young, mostly in a matriachal sense. Nevertheless, the border between what we consider to be a healthy ‘protective’ attraction and one of sexual desire can be very thin!!
It’s a pleasure to read your postings, Kurt. You certainly are an ‘open-access library’ an horizon widener! Thanks for the time you put into it.
Is Kurt a pseudonym or are you, perhaps, of germanic origin?
“pedophilie is widespread in all societies AND religions. It’s in our human nature to be attracted to the young, mostly in a matriachal sense.”
Pedophilia is a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse or justification for committing a sexual act on an innocent child. Anyone who thinks otherwise IS a sick bastard.
@muslimboy
they did not have a sexual relationship? care to back this up? cause there seems to be plenty of evidence to the contrary…
@ boris,
i’ll try but im not sure myself.
since muhammed only had his daughter fatima from Khadija (his first son ofcorse qasim who died at a young age- hence muhammed’s kunya of ‘abul qasim’ meaning father of qasim). khadija , was the first female to convert to islam.
the holy prophet (saww) has said:
“Religion succeeded and became manifest only through Ali’s sword and Khadijah’s property.”
Muhammad hoped to strengthen his ties with Abu Bakr. therefore by marrying his daughter aisha he would be attempting to do so.
Aisha herself said:
“I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija though I did not see her, but the Prophet used to mention her very often, and when ever he slaughtered a sheep, he would cut its parts and send them to the women friends of Khadija. When I sometimes said to him, “(You treat Khadija in such a way) as if there is no woman on earth except Khadija,”
he would say, “Khadija was such-and-such, and from her I had children.”
and what about the battle of jamal (the camal) at bassrah when ali’s right of being calipha was stolen by abu bakr, umar and later uthman. ali kept quite in an attempt to maintain the ummah. when he did finally become the caliph (4th rather than first) the ummah was messed up.aisha wanted revenge for the death of uthman and blamed ali ibn abi talib for it.it was aisha who led an army against ali ibn abi talib.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bassorah
Aisha not only supported Umar, Uthman, and her father Abu Bakr, she also raised an army and fought against Ali.
may i ask what is evidence for aisha to have had a sexual relationship?
muhammed never married anyother woman at the time with khadija. when she died, the year was known as the year of sorrow as it was also the year when abu talib passed away.
if anyone is willing to argue against why ali ibn abi talib was not the rightful caliph then bring it on because i think history makes it ore than cler why his right was usurped.

Why thank you very much! I don’t post for praise, but it’s nice to receive it . . . may I return the compliment and say I enjoy your postings as well; very thought-provoking (and often very to the point)! I am not of German ancestry, but Kurt is indeed my actual name. My folks liked “K” names (my brother has one too).
Now, as to the whole “pedophilia” thing, I think I might see where the disconnect is between you and Irish. The dictionary definition of pedophilia doesn’t include “prepubescent,” just “sexual attraction to a child.” Seeing as how — for example — humans were seen as “adults” at age 13 in some ancient cultures, we would certainly define many marriages of the middle ages as “pedophilic.” It was common for a man, say in his 20′s or even 30′s, to take a wife in her early teens. The standard seems to have been “old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.” While this makes most of us cringe, it must be noted that women were often killed by their own pregnancies (in fact, most of the time that was the case), and low life expectancy was the norm.
Fast forward 500 years, and we consider men (and women) 18 and older to be diseased when they have sexual interest in these early teens. This is also, in other words, *technically* pedophilia (even though many might make a distinction between this and attraction to a prepubescent). I remember hearing a conversation which went something like this: #1: “Wow! She’s hot! Does she live around here?” #2: “Dude! She’s like, 13.” #1: “No way! She looks like she’s like . . . 20 or something.” #2: “I know. I blame the hormones in food. Kids today look older.” Is this something along the lines of what you were talking about, Eccles, or do you mean prepubescent as well? It would be true, but so would bestiality, which every early culture practiced at one time or another (just look at cave paintings around the world).
