Re: Israel & Palestine
In any case you are WRONG regarding the age of consent for marriage in USA. There was no Federal Marriage Law that applies throughout United States as marriage was and is still under State Jurisdiction and each state have seperate Laws. The age of consent for marriage was generally 21 during the 18th century however children as young as 12 and above can marry with parental consent http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/Virginia_Law.html UK had similar Laws.
That explains it all more than i ever could.
Or it could be a respone to your attempt to divert the topic to jewish Torah's text from the issue such as Palestinian idolization of Hitler and his book or their slavery at the hands of Lebanese.sam04u said:I hate that one bullshit line which claims Muhammad (PBUH) was a pedophile, especially when they do not understand the context and the different hadith's meanings. $hifty, this is another attempt to divert attention from the topic and aggravate people. He tried calling us Anti-Semites but that didn't work. He tryed calling us terrorists, saying we're breaking Australian laws with our support, but we proved it needs to be financial support. He tryed calling us savages, pigs and other degrading names, only to be made out as an imbecile, who is gender confused and uneducated.
But that statement is one which is easy to defeat.
- Untill about 1910's it was legal for a U.S citizen to marry a 12 year old. (Age of consent was about 10 I think)
- Japan age of consent 13
- China age of consent 14
- Canada age of consent 14.

I do not need to answer this with my own words, but I will use a muslim woman's own words"Now, do you think that over 13 centuries ago it was so "radical" for a man to marry a woman who displayed biological signs of preparedness? (when it was not only the customs of the time, but widely practiced even amongst Jewish and Christian people.)
It also affirms this by saying the marriage wasn't consumated untill natural signs of preparedness. In the 19th century it was normal practice for the age of consent to be around the ages of 10-13.
The point I'm making is that the Age of consent is a modern day idea, as is pedophilia. Therefore, Muhammad (PBUH) was not a pedophile.

AYAAN HIRSI ALI: That in itself will have as an effect the modernisation of Islam because you're going to question Muslims, 1.3 billion of them, they may be different, they may speak different languages but there's one similarity - they all believe that we ought to follow the moral example of the Prophet Mohammad. Now, questioning the moral example of the Prophet Mohammed I've done in one interview. I've said if there are men who are taking 9-year-old, 10-year-old, 11-year-olds as their wives
GEORGE NEGUS: Which is what you've said about the Prophet?
AYAAN HIRSI ALI: Yes, as their brides.
GEORGE NEGUS: Despicable behaviour, you describe it as.
AYAAN HIRSI ALI: I described him, yes. First I said he was a paedophile, and then my party leader said, "No, no, no, we're not going to call the Prophet a paedophile, you'll have to find another word." So I said he's a pervert and he found that fine.
That explains it all more than i ever could.
