event horizon wrote:Indeed, and that verse has been discussed several times.

Namely, "marriageable" age isn't defined.

"Marriageable" age must mean prepubescent because Muhammad married a prepubescent child and the Koran gives divorce proceedings for prepubescent wives.

Marriageable age has been different in different times. But there is marriageable, and Islamic scholars in the past have defined it when a person reaches puberty.

As for the age of Aisha, hadiths are have weak source of transmission. Here is a detailed discussion on the issue http://forums.understanding-islam.com/s ... phet-(PBUH)-and-his-marriage-to-Aisha

And whilst you're waiting eh - care to answer Nucleus' question on a Biblical verse prohibiting paedophillia?

Any passage that prohibits underage marriage or pedophilia?

The Koran *does* allow underage marriage and consumation of the marriage based on mainstream interpretations of two of its passages. So, if any one can find that passage in the Koran that prohibits pedophilia, then they'll just have to contend with the verses which allow underage marriage and pedophilia.

Thankfully or unfortunately, however, it appears there doesn't seem to be any contradiction in this case.

Anyways, the Koran is a complete book. I shouldn't have to go outside the Koran to interpret its verses. Otherwise calling it a complete book would have an empty meaning only used by spokesmen for Islam who have no desire for truthful conversation. And we all know that these spokepersons who deliberately misinterpret and invent verses in the Koran don't post on this forum.

Sure, right after you provide the verse in the Koran that prohibits pedophilia and start addressing the backlog of questions in this thread you keep avoiding.

Nucleus - good luck. Whilst eh has been provided Quranic, Hadith and scientific references - I predict he won't provide one Biblical verse. I may be proved wrong.. but let's see.

So where does the Koran prohibit pedophilia and underage marriage?

Did the Muslim commentators I've posted on this thread "misinterpret" this verse?

Nucleus - see, he won't provide a Biblical verse that prohibits paedophillia, but will continue his denials.

The quran condones pedophilia and child rape through the glorification of muhammad, who is a proven pedophile and child molester of his own admission. I dont remember reading such admission in the Bible.

Are we going to find a passage from the Koran that contradicts the ones which allow for pedophilia and underage marriage?

What about those Muslim scholars, are they "misinterpreting" the Koran?
