>"I believe Mohammed married a girl of around 6 but did not "consumate" the marriage until she was a few years older. In light of his times does that make him a pedophile? Technically not, but it sure is kind of creepy."<
The girl mo' married was Aisha, the 6 year old daughter of his "close friend" Abu Bakr, who succeeded muhammad as Caliph. Muhammad (pig excrement be upon him) did indeed consummate the "marriage" at 9 lunar years, which works out to 8 years, 8 months. In light of his times, and so on that definitely does make him a cretin, a twisted pervert who knew better and in his crazed lust, simply didn't care!
He had gone to Abu Bakr three times, pleading his case to have the child as his bride. Muhammad claimed a divine dream from allah in which the child was handed to him, swaddled in silk bundles. Abu Bakr, perhaps wisely fearing for his own life, agreed. Arranged marriages were commonplace back then, the prospective couples were usually at least 14 years old, but consummation at any age under 12 was highly irregular and not widely accepted.
There is no comparison between the true Jesus and the real muhammad. Christ was everything He said he was, all He had been prophesied to be. Muhammad was everything that "moderate" Islam has tried to conceal, whitewash, and worse.
