which one of these facts is untrue:
muhammad was a blood thirsty warlord
muhammad had sex with a 9 year old child
muhammad belived in genies and magic
muhammad thought he was exempt from his quranic obligations and the revelations of allah, as evidenced by him having 9 wives at once
muhammad had evident difficulties discerning revelations from god and Satan
1. wasn't a blood-thirsty warlord, his entire city went against him and the few followers he had. He simply would defend himself.
2. in seventh-century Arabia, adulthood was defined as the onset of puberty (and was also the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême.)
Aisha may have been young, but she was not younger than was the norm at the time. Other Muslims doubt the very idea that Aisha was six at the time of marriage, referring to historians who have questioned the reliability of Aisha's age as given in the saying. In a society without a birth registry and where people did not celebrate birthdays, most people estimated their own age and that of others. Aisha would have been no different. What's more, Aisha had already been engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad, suggesting she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while. It seems difficult to reconcile this with her being 9.
In addition, some modern Muslim scholars have more recently cast doubt on the veracity of the saying, or hadith, used to assert Aisha's young age. In Islam, the hadith literature (sayings of the prophet) is considered secondary to the Qur'an. While the Qur'an is considered to be the verbatim word of God, the hadiths were transmitted over time through a rigorous but not infallible methodology. Taking all known accounts and records of Aisha's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19.
3. genies and magic? These are prohibited in Islam because they are based on lying, cheating, ill-gotten moneys, and neglecting reason and religion. Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) said, ‘He, who learns something of magic whether little or much, disbelieves…’
Imam Ali (a.s.) said, ‘A diviner is like a fortune-teller, and a fortune-teller is like a magician, and a magician is like an unbeliever, and the unbeliever will be in Fire.'
4. He had, I believe, 7 wives at once, but this is not exempt from Islam as Islam suggests that if you can love each and every one of your wives with the exact same amount of love, and they are all treated exactly the same, and all of them are okay with it, then there's nothing wrong with that. And there are hadiths of his wives at the time that suggest his love was equal. But who are we to compare with him - nowadays a man can't even treat his one wife properly lol.
5. I have never heard this story, and haven't heard this evidence. Enlighten me with this evidence, please.
And yet Islam claims to be a religion of peace. It's nothing more than a poor guise - to deceive with sweet talk and appeals for sympathy, despite this being the very diametric of their actions. Islam is the ultimate machiavelli.
...you're trying to tell me that the approx. 1.5 billion muslims in the world are just pretending to be nice to you for sympathy?
And that the Quran is just a prop that we all place in our houses that pretty much hardly anyone visits, in case someone non-muslim comes in, and that we have some secret one that only muslims know of or something?
Dude, we have no time for that lol.
Pretty sure if we were just machiavellis, all of the ones who left islam would've at least told their circle of friends or something.
Ctfd, this is starting to sound like that illuminati crap.
