"'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old." [Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3311]
Aisha also reported these events herself:
"The Messenger of God married me in Shawwal in the tenth year after of his prophethood, three years before the Migration as I was six years old. I was nine years old when he consummated the marriage with me. [Tabaqat, 8:58; Abu Dawud, Nikah 34; Ansab al-ashraf, 1:410; Usd al-ghaba, 5:501] "Narrated Hisham's father: Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed in Medina for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha. At this time she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old." [Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236:]
Today’s western Muslims are not as proud of this entire story as they once were (for obvious reasons!) Some have even started trying to rewrite their holy books and play word games with the age of Aisha when the consummation took place. Regardless of the age, she was undeniably a little girl. Note this description. She was still playing with dolls when she became a 50 year old man’s wife.
Muhammad’s preference for young girls was very vocal. He ridiculed one of his followers for marrying a widow when he could have had a YOUNG virgin.
"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 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?'?" [Volume 7, Book 62, Number 17](Number 16 also preserves this story, I chose the shorter, “cleaner” version -JB)
Let me note further that these quotes are not from some Christian… these are the proud preservation of “moral” behavior for all the world to emulate!
"Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet and I used to take a bath from a single pot . . . " [ Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 6, Number 298:]
This is as far as I can go in good conscience. The account gets vile from here. A 50 plus year old man taking a bath with his nine plus year old wife is described by the wife in later years (after he has died.) She describes the two fondling each other somewhat graphically. I have given you the references you can look it up. Muhammad is a well documented pedophile from the seventh century.
None of these accounts are in the least bit ashamed. These writers are preserving the Hadith so that history would remember how we were to behave. Each writer conceived of us following what they considered the perfect example.
Male Muslims are looking forward to a perpetual sexual fantasy:
"055.071 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny? 055.072 Fair ones, close-guarded in pavilions 055.073 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny? - 055.074 Whom neither man nor jinni will have touched before them"
In the Muslim world view, obviously the idea of love, decency, and commitment are left way out in the cold. At least the Christian view of love, decency, and commitment is left out. But then. . . Perhaps I should ask. . . How would you define decency?
