I know one major source of anti-Mohammed sentiments on this forum has been the fact that many (including me) view him to be a pedophile. That is only natural since he married and had sex with a 9-year-old girl, Aisha, when he was in his 50's.
I have questioned Coach several times about it. Satjas has unleashed countless attacks on Mohammed solely for this reason, saying that it's never justified to have sex with such a minor. TM even started a discussion about this issue, where he asks about "The pedophilic relationship at age 53 with Aisha, a 9-year-old child!!!!!" and goes on to write that "Muhammad lived a less than holy life. His lust for sex, his affairs with his maids and slave girls, his pedophilic relationship at age 53 with Aisha, a 9-year-old child". Clearly this issue of Mohammed's pedophilia is a big issue for him. The discussion is at:

Coach has written endless paragraphs defending Mohammed, from saying Mohammed didn't have sex till Aisha was way older, to those days marrying a girl that young was acceptable or it was okay since Aisha had started her periods by the time they had sex.
Now, I just read that Mary was 13 (THIRTEEN) years old when god impregnated her with Jesus. Thirteen!!! And some accounts have her as young as 11 or 12, and others put her maximum age at 14. This means that it was both acceptable and right to marry and have sex with such young girls those days. One can also correctly assume that there are girls younger than Mary who used to get married and impregnated. So this proves that (1) it was not a sin to impregnate a girl that young if god himself could do it, and (2) Mohammed did nothing wrong by marrying Aisha at that age.
If that's the case, then I dare say that Christians have no right attacking Mohammed as a pedophile - unless they want to level the same claims on god (for impregnating her at that age) and Joseph (for marrying her at that age).
Coach, props to you for sticking to your guns. Lets see what spin the Christians put on this one, since they'll have to vindicate god while still comdemning Mohammed for doing the exact same thing!
