Muhammad & Pedophilia
Hadith Confirms pedophilia of Muhammad, Despite Muslim ReactionsBack to the Radical Islam Page

http://bz.llano.net/baptist/pbc208.htm#MuhammadTwo former Muslims responded June 12 to complaints from Islamic groups that a speaker's comments at the Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference in St. Louis were "bigoted" and "hateful."
National media have widely reported that Jerry Vines, pastor of First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida, described Muhammad as a "demon-possessed pedophile" during a June 10 sermon and that Vines inferred that Islam teaches the destruction of non-Muslims.
Clarifying that Vines not only quoted from their recent book, Unveiling Islam, Emir and Ergun Caner said Vines also quoted from the Hadith, a highly respected source for Islamic teaching among Muslim clerics and followers worldwide. The Hadith itself verifies that Muhammad married a 6-year- old girl and consummated the marriage when she was 9, the professor-brothers said...
The specific Hadith citation concerning Muhammad's pedophilia is in Volume 7, Book 6, Numbers 64 and 65...
"The comments in question cannot be considered bigotry when they come from Islamic writings," Ergun Caner said.
A lengthy passage from the Hadith, Volume 1, Book 1, Chapter 1, shows that Muhammad himself believed he was under demonic influence; but it notes that Muhammad's wife is the one who deemed his experience as "divine," Ergun Caner said.
Concerning terrorism and Islamic jihad, Emir Caner noted variant interpretations by Muslims themselves. Some see jihad as a "spiritual war," and others, "physical," he said.
"Some Muslims want to allegorize their own scriptures because they don't want to defend jihad," Emir Caner said. "But if you take the Koran at its word, or Muhammad at his word, then you'll find physical jihad."
The highest level of Muslim heaven, which has 70 perpetual virgins on couches, is reserved for Muslims who "shed their blood," said Ergun Caner, referencing Hadith 135.
Islam's tilt toward violence, Emir Caner said, also is reflected in the Koran: "Slay the enemy where you find him, Surah 9.92."
"...But the Muslim who commits acts of violence in jihad does so with the approval of Muhammad.
"When 9/11 happened, we were all shocked. But where was the international outrage when jihad killed three million people in Sudan?" Ergun Caner asked...
The Koran says Allah "is as close as your jugular vein, which is a place of fear, not of faith," Emir Caner said. "As Muslims, grace was a foreign word to us," he said, having noted ... that the only way a Muslim can be assured of Heaven outside of dying in jihad is [if] his good works outweigh his bad ones.

THE CRUEL MAN:
Proof, from Hadith, Islam's second most important source:
"Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought, so the Prophet (Muhammad) exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed Bani Quraiza to remain at their places. He then killed their men and distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of 'Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other Jews of Medina."
(Hadith, Sahih Bukhari 5:59:362)
"Omar reported from the Holy Prophet who said, 'No man shall be questioned for beating his wife.'"
(Al Hadis, Vol. 1, p. 215)
"Prophet said: 'When the slave runs away from his master, his prayer is not accepted; he is an infidel.'"
(Hadith No. Muslim 32)
"Prophet said: 'Then go to the persons who do not join the congregational prayer and order their homes to be burnt...'"
(Hadith No. Muslim 234)
"Narrated Anas: 'Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine. They did so, and after they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophet ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they die.'"
(Hadith, Sahih Bukhari 8:82:794)
"Prophet (Muhammad) said: 'Do not stone the adulteress who is pregnant until she has had her child.' After the birth she was put into a ditch up to her chest and the Prophet commanded them to stone her. Khalid came forward with a stone which he threw at her head, and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and he cursed her. The gentle Prophet prayed over her and she was buried."'

THE PEDOPHILE:
He had dreams about marrying a 5 or 6-year old child when he was about 50 years old - how sick is that?

By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid
July 11, 2002Coverage continues of pedophile allegations and cover-ups by Catholic priests and bishops. But what if the founder of a major religion was a pedophile? Baptist preacher Jerry Vines, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, ignited a firestorm in the media with his claim that, "Islam was founded by Muhammad, a demon-possessed pedophile who had 12 wives, the last one of which was a 9-year-old girl." American Muslim groups have cried foul, and the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish group, issued a protest. Commentator William Rivers Pitt has said, "Imagine if someone called Jesus Christ a ‘demon-possessed’ individual who consorted with known whores."
At the very end of a long story about this controversy, the Washington Post noted that an Islamic holy book says that, "The Prophet [Muhammad] married [Aisha] when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old." The literal words say that he had sex with a nine year old girl. The Post quoted Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, as saying that many Islamic scholars interpret that passage to mean Aisha was 16 when she was betrothed to Muhammad and 19 when they wed.
By contrast, Myles Kantor, a columnist for FrontPage Magazine, says that Vines’ description "is theologically and historically grounded." Regarding the charge of pedophilia, he said, "one of Muhammad’s wives was betrothed to him at six years old. The marriage was consummated when she was nine. Enough said."
Demons were frequently cited as the cause of mental or physical afflictions in the days when people didn’t understand science or medicine. But in regard to the counter-claim of Jesus consorting with prostitutes, such a statement ignores his condemnation of prostitution and his attempts to convert them. On the other hand, the statement about Muhammad having sex with a nine year old girl can only be re-interpreted by completely changing the words and their meaning.
"We don't understand why this is a controversy," Dr. Ergun Caner told the Dallas Morning News. He claimed the statement is "in Islam's teaching – something we were taught as children." Dr. Caner, who was born a Muslim, is the co-author of the book, "Unveiling Islam: An Insider's Look at Muslim Life and Beliefs." On CNN’s Crossfire, Tucker Carlson asked Hussein Ibish of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, "Did Muhammad have a nine-year-old wife?" Ibish replied, "I have no idea and neither does anybody else. To be honest with you, that happened 1,500 years ago. Much of this is mythological ... It's not the point." Carlson asked, "Do Muslim scholars believe it to be true? Ibish replied, "Actually, I have no idea about whom the prophet married, and when, and why -- and it doesn't matter. The point is that this is part and parcel of a generalized attack on Islam and Muslims…."
It may be part of an attack on Muslims but that begs the question of whether the statement is true or not. If the Catholics should be held accountable for pedophiles in their midst, the Muslims should too, even if it is their founder.
