Christians as a whole do not raise objections to the marriage of Aisha. I was raised Christian, and never heard of it until after 9-11. The Aisha thing has only been raised in the past few years as war propaganda, and I think it is an unpopular with secular Americans as it is with Christians.

Masah Allah, the truth will always surface and drown all lies, from those unbelievers. Beautiful comment.

If you look up the wikipedia for Ramanujan, the famous Indian mathematician, you can see he was married to his wife who was about 9, and half his age. His wiki article notes that it was the normal cultural tradition of his place and time.

Beautiful sentiment of yours, and of Imam Shaafi. One of the problems with modern Christianity, is that the main push of Christianity has ceased thinking alot about how best to guide behavior(altho there's some of that) and has gone off the deep-end with what I call Membership card thinking. ie. "I profess Christianity, therefore I'm saved".

May alot of truth manifest from your efforts! We need it.

I'm glad there's people out there thinking rationaly, i think some people search for 'ammunition' when debating so they pick out things which are so ridiculous if examined.

Imam Shaafi who was a famous scholar once said 'i never debated with anyone except i hoped the truth would manifest from his tongue'. In other words i will talk to someone and i hope they can help me understand things better which will increase my knowledge as opposed to 'winning' the debate just to degrade your opponent.

Quran 29 46 PICKTHAL: "And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better........."

I kind of thought name-calling was outside the scope of speaking with people of the book for muslims...but perhaps I am mis-reading the words of Allah in the Quran?

Thank for your comments.
