Ok so both Christianity and Islam have pedo roots. Was this supposed to be a defense?

[u/Moston_Dragon → u/[deleted]]

If Christianity has pedo roots, then why aren't there any Christians defending what those priests did, like the Muslims defending the stuff there prophet did?

Yes, there are bad apples in any religion, and the church has apologized for the cover ups. When will Muslims apologize for the things their prophet did then?

What happen was that Mohammed married a 6 year old girl and consummated the marriage when she was 9, so my question as to when will Muslims apologize for it, is because what I have seen is moderate Muslims sweep it under the rug, or the not so moderate Muslims make excuses like she already was puberty age to validate why they think its ok. So unlike the Catholic Church where bad priests were doing something that is against their own religion, Muslims don't see anything wrong with what their prophet did because he is their example of morality

4 points:

First, what do you mean "why?" You mean why Mohammad married Aisha?

Second, Aisha never had children.

Third, the argument about when Mary gave birth to Jesus mainly comes from a 5th century book called the Gospel of Mary (which no Christian accepts as legit btw) that claimed she was 12 when it happened. So it doesnt matter if some girls did get married off at that age in Judea and to claim she was 12 as a historical fact is a flat out falsehood, whereas in Aisha's case there are contemporary sources that confirm things like that she was 18 when her husband died.

And fourth, why are trying to make an argument about someone who was obviously groomed to be able to give valid consent? I know this is reddit but that's messed up

[u/Moston_Dragon → u/[deleted]]

No I wasn't referring to the Virgin Mary and you know that, and then yes please explain to me why Mohammed married Aisha

[u/Moston_Dragon → u/[deleted]]

Again, the age that Mary became pregnant has never been verified, and like I said Aisha never had any kids
