Lol, you are an absolute joker mate

I bolded "King of Persia and Caeser" which you wrote, mainly cause I'm very interested to show how Caeser (who had been dead for centuries) and the Shah of Persia (who was too busy running an Empire to care) had any idea that he got married to Aisha.

I then commented on the utter irrelevance in your subsequent response which referred to the "emperor of Byzantium".

Ahhhh. Quite quick to judge, arent you? I wonder what Muhammad would say about that I wasnt aware I had disciples (lol) but my mind is very open and like the OP says this is an invitation to a debate Whatever helps you sleep at night.

People will often ask me what has the Quran predicted. And I will reply it predicted 1400 years ago that the galaxy is expanding which is what Edwin Hubble discovered in the 1920's, not even 100 years ago.
Chapter 21. Verse 30 says that it is God that created everything, such as the heavens and the Earth, which were once joint together, but seperated over time.
Some people don't find this convincing.

I then like to quote Chapter 75 Verse 8-9, where it says that the sun will one day collide with the moon. If we look at what science says, the sun will change into a star known as the "red giant", which will expand and collide with mercury and venus, and will become very close to the earth, taking the moon with it as well.

The reason why I have quoted this is because there are thousands of things the Quran has said which have been proved to be true, and I doubt that onw of the most important things the Quran talks about is false.
Please not another science in Quran topic, that has been debunked time and time again on this forum.

Haha thanks.

The emperors of the Byzantinian and Persian were both invited to accept Islam by the Prophet himself, he sent messengers to both of them, along with all the information of the person that claimed to be a Prophet of God, infact, Muhammad and Qiasar (Ceaser he was definitely called, this was reported with an authentic transmission) used to exchange gifts as Christians did have some level of respect for the early muslims. They found various information about each other, it is not a shock to find out Ceasar also knew exactly who Muhammad was married to.

That's the reason a lot of people think he married a 6 year old because there's a lot of unreliable sources out there. There was also a lot of anti-Muhammad/Islamic press back by members of other groups such as followers of other religions who suddenly had another religion come out of nowhere and claim to be following on from Judaism/Christianity - a lot of people thought it to be offensive. Also, the reasons why these sources got so much publicity was because they used heavily during the Crusades as war time propaganda.

It's very difficult to know the exact details on age back then and it makes it impossible given the conflicting sources available and calling someone a paedophile based on it is ridiculous when you don't the details. Also, nowhere does it say Aisha was abused. Every source which involves her she never says anything negative about Muhammad and frequently praises him in her own words/writings. Muhammad also had numerous marriages and this was by far the youngest indicating it was a special case rather than him having a fetish for young girls. If you include Aisha the average age of his wives is 31.

A prophet of what? God isn't proven to exist, no one knows. So what was so special about him if he did exist which he most likely did? He was just a normal guy who fought and believed in something and now millions for what he believed in.

I might do the same soon.

What! No it hasn't. The majority of the non-Muslims do not understand the Qur'an, not even a verse or a word! The problems lies in the translation which misled people like you.

The first accusation is pedophile. The best refutation to this is the behaviour of the Arabs who opposed Muhammad (pbuh). These people even made up falsehoods about him yet they forgot to use his marriage in their attack. These people were stronger in enmity than most, if not everyone after them.

Another accusation is murderer. Those people who broke treaties and covenants with the Muslims time after time and would take any chance to behave treachorously against the Muslims, even going as far as preparing for war. That is war, not murder.

Another one is assasination. The one who was killed planned to assasinate Muhammad (pbuh) and was openly hostile.

Another one is lecher. Maria al-Qibtiyya was given to the Prophet by the ruler of Egypt. Do you insult Abraham (pbuh) for his relationship to Haagar or David or Solomon (pbut).

The next one is torturer. The response can be found here:

http://muslim-responses.com/The_Kill...ling_of_Kinana

The next one is narcissism. I'm confident that most people who study Islam, Muslim or Non Muslim will testify that he was anything but narcissistic.

The next one is looter. One of the first paragraphs is just so wrong. If he wanted to take advantage he could have lived in palaces or mansions like any other powerful leader but he lived very simply, even his bed was absolutely bare. Also, yes, the spoils of war are permissable.

The one after that is misogynist. This one is not worth the read. Almost every person, whether they are an enemy of Islam, scholar, Muslim will disagree with the statement that "women had more rights before Islam than after it." After that i stopped reading, it's clear to me that this personis filled with hate and actually doesn't care if they are telling the truth, lying or presenting things fully and accurately. If you want to know more about the points he mentions, then i'll answer you.

Another one is cult leader. This is just one big attack. If you want to bring up an individual point the writer makes, i'll answer that.

Terrorist? The author is stretching it.

Notice i haven't given you a long answer. Short and simple.

If you want to discuss Islam, we'll happily discuss it but please don't use such extreme websites, it only weakens your position. You can ask about what you like, whatever objections they are but using websites like that breeds a really bad attitude, to the level that noone can debate with you.

Notice i haven't given you a long answer. Short and simple.
