    It’s crazy that in the modern day there are still places on Earth where failing to adhere to a religious dress code results in immediate public beatings or arrests. Crazy but also not that surprising unfortunately.

      Muslims hear a story about a man who marries a six year old child, but doesn’t actually rape her until she is nine, and they say that he’s the ideal man.

      Muhammad clearly knew that having sex with a six year old that he married was rape, because otherwise he would have “had sex with” Aisha right away. No, he managed to hold out until she was nine.

      I’ve heard Muslims try to defend this story saying that times have changed. But that’s just a lie, isn’t it? Otherwise why would they follow a “holy” book written from that time?
