You are trying to justify pedophilia so that your prophet doesn't appear bad.

Just let that sink in.

"Children can instigate sexual acts" They can out of curiosity, not out of lust.

2. This is just a stupid point to make. Aisha wasn't royalty and you are appealing to delusions of grandeur.

Check out any children's psychology textbook where it mentions sex and age.

You make two easily defeated points here.
1. Comparing a "big no no" to an illegal, federal offense.
2. Illegal = wrong to these people you are claiming think it's ok. (what a dimwit).

I am only making the argument because I think the premise is sound. Obviously, if it isn’t then my argument fails.
You haven't stated a formal argument this entire time.
-Stating "i think the premise is true" without having a premise is a pretty fail.


As far as I can tell your formal argument so far looks like this

P1: Muhammad(40+years old) lusted over Aisha(9 years old) who was at the time playing with dolls.
P2: If you don't have education, then the acts can't be morally wrong.
P3: "Because neither children nor adults had sex ed back then, you can’t justify those sexual acts to be wrong"

C: Muhammad being a pedophile is not wrong.



P2 being your entire argument, fails.(for two reasons actually)

1. The lack of education is not a justifiable excuse to commit morally wrong actions. We do not excuse slavery, we do not excuse genocide, murder, or any other serious crime, we do not excuse pedophilia either.

2. The all-knowing all powerful God didn't inform Muhammad.



So the fun part is that you are both wrong according to logic and Islam.


So that's what, 4 arguments now?

This is really easy:

No. An individual can be incarcerated for pedophilic crimes without actually engaging in pedophilic acts, i.e. owning anything considered to be child pornography, this is not limited to actual depictions of children. Forceful rape of any individual, regardless of age, should be met with lethal injection in most cases.



I think it’s a pretty big leap to suggest that children instigating sexual acts don’t understand what they’re doing. Can you prove this?
1. You can't say one immoral act is wrong but not another. Special pleading.

2. Ok so you are basically equating two crimes. Committing pedophilic acts(which Muhammad did) and possessing illegal items.

3. I think it's a pretty big fucking leap to say that children at the age of 9 instigate sexual acts with 40+ year old adults, especially with relevance to this topic.

You are saying that Aisha instigated the sex. Which is a boldfaced lie due to Muhammad pursuing her the entire time.


Honestly, this kind of argument makes me sick. Because you are either a pedophile yourself or you are so desperate to defend your prophet you'll suggest the "children really wanted the dick".


It's vomit inducing to be sure.
