      Elvis married a 14 year old. Name your favorite rock band and I’ll find you a kiddiefucker. I’m not going to bring that up in every c/music thread.

      There’s an argument that Muhammad married a few of his wives out of charity. That a misogyny driven culture such as pre Muslim Arabia just didn’t have options for some women.

      Aisha also later turns out to be a pretty powerful figure in her own right.

        How about instead of excusing both, they’re both fucked up

      I’m guessing from the replies that your original comment was about how disgusting Muslims are because of Islam having a pedophile prophet, as this comment doesn’t pop up in your modlog.

      You haven’t seen what the Hebrew Bible says about child war brides have you?

      Numbers 31 (NRSVUE)

      This is not just for kids, though still relevant:

      Deuteronomy 21 (NRSVUE)
