My boyfriend is trying to convert me to Islam. HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP

It's not like she is likely to be promoting Islam to you as she's clearly not the best example of a Muslim if she's got a boyfriend anyway.

The only one lying here is you. You're doing your faith no favours by attempting to whitewash the nasty bits. If the Pope has the *******s to give a public speech apologizing for past wrongdoings (which he did, including the Crusades and the doctrine of holding Jews accountable for deicide), the least Muslims can do is acknowledge where their religion ****s up.

Do you know her? Any idea on what she's like? No?

Maybe if you tried not judging people so much, especially without even knowing them, the rest of us would take you religious people more seriously.

He told me different. He told me that Mohammed married Aisha because she was a pubescent child. He said that her parents agreed to let him marry her and she wanted to have sex with him aged 9. I was like fair enough, in that time period but that can't be justified in this day and age. He went on to say that if Mohammed had sex with Aisha back then then it is justfied in todays world. He siad that he would marry a pubescent child if she was pretty. I got so angry at what he said that i actually think hes a paedophile. Sex with children is WRONG!!!!

What about the whole dog thing. Doesn't it say in the quran that dogs are dirty?

He has 2 dogs. His excuse is that they are guard dogs. They're the friendliest dogs anyone would ever meet so he's making dumb excuses. smh.

Thanks for your reply

From this thread its very obvious she really needs to do research about Islam then make her conclusions.

Can't do anything about something which hasn't happened.

The majority of reputable sources on the matter conclude that Aisha's marriage with Mohammed was consummated when she was nine.

You clearly know absolutely nothing about about the religion.
If you want to comment about it, go educate yourself. Don't waste your life arguing over something you clearly know nothing about.

oh btw after looking up what a Ahmaddiyah is, no I do not believe in the ramblings of some guy called Ahmad. I believe in God and all the prophets up to the prophet Muhammed. They were simply messengers. He did not create Islam. God did and sent it down to him via the angel Gabriel. The Quran is the word of God not Muhammed. He was simply a messenger. War played a part yes. Women, children and the elderly (as it says in the Quran) were not to be killed. Unlike today where anything goes and the massacre of innocent people is tolerated whoever the perpetrator. Religion isn't the problem, people are.

Anyway this discussion has probably run its course!

Who said she hasn't already researched it? Researching a religion doesn't necessarily mean that you become more religious; in fact, in the case of Islam and Christianity, the more you research, the less likely you are to believe. They rely on masses of uneducated people who barely read their holy texts in order to survive.

Are you a Muslim?

Oh really? And where did you get these statistics from that 'the more you research, the less likely you are to believe' ? Or did you just make that up.

I'm not judging. Its clear that she isn't practising as Islam clearly states having premarital relations is forbidden. Its a fact. And lol as if you are not judging Muslims 'take you religious people seriously'. At least try to not be hypocritical.

Does it matter?

So in your opinion Islam has never caused anything bad. Ever. Really?

There's a funny anecdote about Winston Churchill attempting to educate his son in Christianity by forcing him to read the Bible. Unfortunately for Winston, this had the opposite effect to what was desired. Apparently, his son spent most of his time reading the Bible laughing out loud and exclaiming "what a **** God is!"

Or, you could do some research and easily find studies showing that the more educated a person is, the less likely he is to be religious.

I want to know what sources you've read and which scholars you have spoken to which have made you so sure that Aisha was 9 years old. You seem so certain when many scholars who have studied Islam are not even so. So yeah, care to list the sources?
