Muhammad's Marriage with Aisha is Biblical + James White's Dishonest Friends (Sam Shamoun and David Wood)

Here are two Christian missionaries propagating hateful lies about Islam. They are trying to convince folk that Islam allows sex with pre-pubescent girls. This is of course a falsehood. In this video you will see clips from scholars refuting these two Christian missionaries who were literally making stuff up. One of the Christian missionaries even went as far as claiming the Quran, the commentators and the Hadith allow sex with prepubescent girls. Sadly, lies of this nature are common on the internet.

Does Islam allow sex with prepubescent girls? Dishonest men v Scholars

Sharia (Islamic Law) does not allow a man to have sex with a girl who is pre-pubescent. Sharia is based on the Quran and the Ahadith.

In the video above you will see clips from Sheikh Imran Hussain, Dr Yasir Qadhi, Dr Jonathan Brown, Dr Bilal Philips and others to help refute the lies these Christian missionaries were propagating.
Sincere Christians will Apologise

Here we have it folks! Christian apologist: Biblical age of marriage is puberty

Christian evangelists and apologists, having attacked Prophet Muhammad (p) due to his marriage to Lady Aisha (consummated when she had reached puberty), are realising the marriage of Lady Aisha to Prophet Muhammad (p) is BIBLICAL. It's sanctioned by the Bible.

All this time these extreme evangelical Christian bigots who have been hounding Muslims due to Prophet Muhammad's (p) marriage to Lady Aisha have actually been insulting the Bible and Judeo-Christian traditions in the process.

Here is a quote from a Christian apologist who confirms the Biblical age of consent is in fact PUBERTY:

"...the Holy Bible makes a reference to the general age of a girl considered for marriage. The reference is found in a parable where God likens Israel to a baby girl whom Yahweh took in and then eventually married. The parable proceeds to liken Israel’s dabble with idolatry to a wife who commits adultery and prostitution.
Not only does this specific parable present the marriageable age of a girl, the parable also assumes that this is a fact that was already well known and observed by the peoples, specifically Israel.
"On the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths. No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised. Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, you who were naked and bare. Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine. I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was fine flour, honey and olive oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign LORD." Ezekiel 16:4-14
God mentions that the young babe attained the age for lovemaking after her breasts had formed and her pubic hairs had grown, clear signs of puberty. The reason we believe that the reference is to pubic hair is because a) the hair on the head of a girl grows many years before reaching the time of puberty, and b) the connection to nakedness suggests that the exposure of her body parts needed to be covered since it was shameful for them to be exposed for all to see. In other words, there was no shame for the hair of a girl’s head to be uncovered, but exposing one’s pubic hairs would be..."

"...Thus, we have a biblical text establishing puberty as the minimum age for marriage..."

Christian fundamentalists, the sincere ones to their faith, will all be eating slices of humble pie and apologising to Muslims for their co-religionists' anti-Biblical attacks against Prophet Muhammad (p).

I would also like to refer the readers to material from the Jesus scholar Geza Vermes, in which he highlights Jewish tradition at the time of Jesus was in fact to use puberty as a biological sign for consummation of marriage. See here:
http://thefactsaboutislam.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/age-of-consent-for-christians-and-jews.html

Conclusion

It's a classic case of Christians not knowing what their own Bible teaches them. To be fair, I personally have never come across a Jew had attacked a Muslim concerning Prophet Muhammad's (p) marriage to Aisha though I've come across numerous Christians who have been attacking such. Perhaps it's a case of Jews understand their traditions better than Christians and thus recognised the marriage of Prophet Muhammad (p) and Aisha was in fact normal and perfectly acceptable.

Maybe Christians in the West often confuse the age of consent laws in their respective countries (in the UK it's 16, America I believe it's 18 for most states) with the Bible. This is a problem for Christian communities.

I just hope there are sincere Christians out there who will apologise and admonish any other their co-religionists who may be throwing out such anti-Biblical arguments in the future.

A Christian Fundamentalist on Pakistan and Prostitution

I received a comment from a fundamentalist American Christian who was eager to tell me about the problem of prostitution in Pakistan. I'm like, wait a minute, are you a man who revels in misery? Where is your compassion? Why is it so important for you as an American fundamentalist Christian who dislikes Islam to present this information to Muslims?

Firstly, Islam does not allow prostitution and secondly Pakistan outlaws prostitution. Thirdly, the women who get involved in prostitution are generally doing so out of poverty:

Although they are legally outlawed, the number of sex workers in the country has increased over the past few years. Growing unemployment and inflation and the resulting rise in poverty have led many down this road. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8222222.stm]

You'd think this fundamentalist Christian would be focussing on his own country as there is a state within his country which permits prostitution:

The state of Nevada is the only jurisdiction in the United States where prostitution is permitted [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Nevada]

Furthermore, has this man not even stopped to think about the misery of prostitution? If he did so he would not be using the sad plight of some girls in Pakistan for his purposes of antagonism and argumentation. Think about the STDs and other problems that come with prostitution in poverty-stricken countries:

From a healthcare perspective, there is under-reporting of sexually transmitted diseases in Pakistani female sexual workers, because the topic in itself is a no-go area.

However, according to a study done in 2009, titled ‘Care seeking for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) symptoms in Pakistan’, over half of the female sexual workers, male sexual workers, transsexuals, intravenous drug abusers and truck drivers who had experienced symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases received treatment for their symptoms. The study also states that approximately one third of them did not report their symptoms to a healthcare unit. Most care is received from private clinics rather than public ones. Genital-related symptoms were the most commonly reported.
Female sexual workers could be the source of STIs like syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) and Hemophilus Ducreyi. A local study ‘Sexually Transmitted Infections in Pakistan‘ at an STI clinic in Faisalabad concluded the highest number of cases reporting treatment for Syphilis.

Also transmitted sexually are diseases like Hepatitis B and HIV;  unprotected sexual intercourse leads to the spread of these diseases. [http://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/18295/dha-the-hub-of-open-air-prostitution-in-karachi/]

Now you tell me if Christians are really allowed to trample upon the misery of these poor women in order to bash Muslims online? You tell me why this Christian is not focussing on the problem of prostitution in his own country and other countries rather than a poor Muslim country? What about all those Western sex tourists that travel to Asia to have sex with poverty-stricken boys and girls? Is this Christian fundamentalist only going to talk about a poverty-stricken Muslim country or is he going to actually develop a sense of context and humanity and begin to think about matters in a manner which is sensitive and mature?

This Christian's insecurity around Muslims?

I think it's also important to mention Christian fundamentalist misuse of Muslim misbehaviour - especially concerning those in poverty-stricken areas. These Christian fundamentalists almost appear to take delight in seeing Muslims behave in an unislamic way. Perhaps it's born out of their insecurities as I'd imagine in their hearts they really believe Muslims are better behaved than Christians. Here is an article which statistically shows Muslims to be the best behaved sexually amongst all religious groups:

We are constantly bombarded by Islamophobes (many of whom are evangelical Christians) who portray Muslims negatively. It's interesting to note this study which impresses the sexual purity of Muslims being better than people of other faiths.

Here we see Muslims are the least likely to have sex before marriage and are also the least likely to cheat on their partner out of all the faith groups studied. Ladies, find a Muslim man to marry!

Another interesting finding was that Muslim population increases actually decreases the rates of premarital sex in other faith groups too. So clearly more Muslims in your country means the other faith groups are influenced to be better sexually-behaved.

Can we expect the Christian evangelicals in America (who have a real problem with premarital sex within their community) to advocate Muslim immigration into Christian America to help American Christians behave better sexually?!

Snips from the article: Muslims Have Least Sex Outside Marriage, Study Suggests

Of all the world's major religious groups, Muslims are the least likely to have sex outside of marriage, new research found. And as a country's Muslim population grows, the rate of premarital sex declines for all residents, even non-Muslims, according to the study.
 
Researchers analyzed the responses of over 620,000 people (ages 15-59) who were interviewed as part of the Demographic and Health Surveys in 31 mostly developing nations from 2000 to 2008. Most countries included in the sample had either a Muslim or Christian majority, except India and Nepal, which have Hindu majorities, and Cambodia which has a Buddhist majority. (The United States was not included in the study.)
 
They found that, overall, the odds of married Muslims reporting premarital sex are 53 percent lower than for Christians. Hindus are 40 percent less likely to report premarital sex, compared with Christians. Meanwhile, Jews and Buddhists have greater chances of having sex before getting hitched than Christians do, according to the study.
 
The researchers believe these results could be linked to Muslims' greater adherence to strict religious tenets that only allow sex within marriage. As many Muslim leaders place heavy importance on fidelity in marriage, it might be no surprise that Muslims also are less likely than Hindus, Christians and Jews to report extramarital sex, as the study found.
 
What's more, the religious values of a Muslim majority in a country seem to exert a big influence on the wider population's sexual norms. A 1 percent increase in the percentage of Muslims in a nation caused a 2 percent decrease in the likelihood of premarital sex for all citizens, regardless of their religious identity, the study found. (The researchers note that an increase in the Muslim population in a country did not further reduce the odds of premarital sex among just Muslims.)

Why do some converts to Islam later leave Islam?

I was recently alerted to this Kristiane Backer interview in which she gives her opinion as to the reason why some converts to Islam find it tough and eventually leave Islam:

Rohail (interviewer): One perception is that most of the converted Christians do revert back? Have you ever faced such a situation?

Kristiane Backer: The reason is that converts often feel isolated from their old circle of friends and are not really included in mainstream Muslim communities. This isolation is too hard for some to take. How are Muslims failing converts and what can be done about this questions every Muslims should be asking themselves.

A Question for Dr Ben Witherington and Prof. Dan Wallace

Have you ever stopped to think about all those Christians prior to the 19th century discovery of Codex Sinaiticus who used to believe the last 12 verses of Mark were inspired by God and part of the Bible (they had similar beliefs about John 7:53-8:11 and that version of Luke 23:34). NOW you and other modern day Christians will claim those Christians of the past believed in forgeries/errors.

You have no guaranty that this will not happen to you in your life time (i.e. a new MSS discovery is made and a passage is denounced as an unauthorised addition).

Jesus taught people to do the Will of God (according to Mark 3:35) in order to become his brothers, mothers or sisters. A Muslim means one who submits to the Will of God. Do you want to become a brother of Jesus? If yes, become a Muslim.

Tarek Fatah, self-hatred, porn and his problem with Pakistanis!

Tarak Fatha has recently appeared on Michael Coren's show and has spewed his venom once again. He shows signs of self-hatred as he attacks Pakistanis. Erm wait a minute, Tarek, you were born in Pakistan - in fact YOU are Pakistani by race too!

As for his use of the 'porn stats' concerning Pakistan, Tarek would do well to actually think critically rather than allowing his bias to manifest itself by accepting any negative news story about his fellow country men. Tarak, below is a more critical look at those pornography stats that you should reflect upon before using it unfairly as a whip to lash your own race. Perhaps Tarek Fatah will denounce America for producing porn?!

Tarak Fatah also speaks about the history of the name of Allah. Here's a little piece that he should read:
http://thefactsaboutislam.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/why-was-prophet-muhammads-father-called.html

Before you point the finger at Pakistanis read the following:


Click
Let’s be frank here. Pakistan  is never going to be the biggest consumer or producer of pornography for a number of reasons – the primary one being that it is NOT allowed according to Islam.

If you check Wikipedia‘s world map of pornography (18+) laws you will realise NO Muslim country is in green. Green represents “pornography legal”. Pornography is not legal in Muslim countries.

Islamophobes have latched on to unreliable stats from Google Trends and Insights and derided Pakistan and Muslims.Before moving onto the “stats” related to Pakistan and Islam’s view on such material we should present a few home truths

Who produces and profiteers from pornographic material? Not the Muslims!

Islamophobes would do well to realise Muslims are not the big players in this sordid affair. Online Education’s pie chart of worldwide pornography revenues shows China (28%), Korea (27%), Japan (21%) and the US (14%) as the biggest players – in fact NO Muslim country is even mentioned by name.

The US spends over $13 billion on porn; companies like Time Warner, GM and Marriot make millions selling erotica according to Online Education.

Is Pakistan “number one for porn”?

I recently heard a Christian host from a missionary TV station claim such. This is obvious nonsense for two reasons: firstly pornography is ILLEGAL in Pakistan, secondly as a POOR country the people there are hardly going to be spending cash on copious pornography!

What about internet pornography in Pakistan?

Again, it comes down to LOGIC. According to Internet World Stats (2009) the number of internet users in Pakistan was estimated to be 18.5 million in total. Now, are you REALLY trying to tell me less than 20 million Pakistanis are topping the WORLD pornography statistics?!?!?

In fact, Pakistan is NOT even in the top 10 for keyword searches such as “porn” and “sex”! No Muslim country is in the top ten for the keyword “porn”. So what are the Islamophobes using to impugn Pakistan?

The Islamophobes cite SELECTIVE keywords to attack the Pakistani (Muslim)

They have used a “few of the least popular keywords when it comes to pornography” – these word searches would hardly yield the “most” pornography due to the nature of the keywords as well as restrictions imposed by Pakistan; the state “has often blocked access to pornographic sites and sites with anti-Islamic content” [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8691406.stm]

For a more thorough understanding of how Fox News has impugned Pakistan unfairly – please see:
http://propakistani.pk/2010/07/15/pakistan-or-pornistan/

The stats are NOT even reliable

The statistics the Islamophobes are using are unreliable. “Internet Service Provider Association of Pakistan declared the statistics regarding pornography in Pakistan as flawed” and Theresa Lim (Google communications) confirmed the stats are statistically unsound:

“May contain inaccuracies because the sample size is too small for the results to be statistically sound. [http://propakistani.pk/2010/07/19/pakistan-top-in-porn-search-google-denies/]

The Islamophobes are using such “data” in their attempts to deride and dehumanize Muslims. Somebody needs to tell them their data is unsound and thus they should stop insulting Muslims with such outrage. In any case, pornography is deemed unislamic.

Is pornography allowed in Islam? No.

Watching pornography is forbidden, whether a person is married or not. The one who does that has to repent to Allah - Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid [http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/12301]

Clarification - What is “pornographic” by Muslim standards?

“Perhaps most Muslims think that pornography is only that uncensored filth that is accessible through XXX movies and certain Internet sites, but in fact, by Islamic standards, much of what is considered normal in advertising is actually pornographic. The purpose of these seductive images is to arouse the lower desires of people and to weaken their self-restrain and taint their thoughts. It bombards the Muslim, especially the youth, with indecent and suggestively seductive images. Unfortunately, most Muslims are so oblivious of the presence and influence of these Shaytanic (Satanic) images, that they regularly view them through various types of media”

“The Islamic solution to living in a society where pornographic images are so visible is to lower one's gaze”
http://www.askimam.org/fatwa/fatwa.php?askid=344e080a78242d8589d27ad45481c36d

Solving the pornography problem

In the UK we have been discussing increasing controls on pornography. In the West, pornography has become a real societal problem which is affecting us in the workplace, homes and schools. Muslim countries have the right idea in prohibiting such a satanic tool. Sharia (Islamic Law) would theoretically solve the problem of pornography by making it illegal.

Can You Trust Nabeel Qureshi, author of 'Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus'?

The new poster boy of Christian evangelism to Muslims is Dr Nabeel Qureshi. One can clearly see why Dr Ravi Zaccharias snapped him up for RZIM. I mean, the chap is a medical doctor trained in Christian apologetics, claims to be an exMuslim, comes armed with a story mentioning dreams (fundamentalist Christian audiences lap them up) and intellectual inquiry.

However, the Christian should be asking can they trust Nabeel Qureshi. Sure Nabeel comes over as a sincere chap (a prerequisite to become one of the poster boys of Christian evangelism) but does he really care about scholarship, accuracy of information, truth and intellectual inquiry or is he just trying to catch sheep for his flock and/or build a name for himself?

Have a look in the Nabeel Qureshi section, here you will find Nabeel Qureshi to be unreliable when talking about Islam, unscrupulous when discussing Islam and perhaps even outright dishonest. Now there are, at the time of writing roughly 20 posts about Nabeel Qureshi which should be of interest for anybody conusiming Nabeel Qureshi's new book, 'Seeking Alla, Finding Jesus' as well as his lectures and what have you. Scroll down and view the older posts to see all of them:

Rabbi Itzhak Shapira Invited to Islam

People can be transformed. The opponents of the Prophet (p) were particularly vicious against Muslims. Hind actually bit into the liver of the Prophet's uncle, Hamzah, when he was martyred at the Battle of Uhud. However, she later became a Muslim, and hence became a Companion of the Prophet (p), a member of that special generation of humanity. In fact, she even narrated hadith which can be found in the well-known compilations. Repentance is a recourse that the Lord of the World's has given humanity.

Christians are Having Dreams and Becoming Muslims!

Christians are having dreams about Islam and converting to Islam. In this video, Robert Davila has a dream about Jesus (p) and becomes a Muslim. It's an amazing story, please listen to it.


If the video does not play, please see here

Robert saw a man in his dream, and the man says his name was Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him). Pointing at the cruicifix, this man says “God didn’t send messengers so they would worship the messengers. God sent messengers, so you could worship GOD. And Jesus (peace be upon him) was just a man, he walked in the market and he ate food – and the dream stopped. So Robert starts googling “Mohammed” (peace and blessings be upon him), he finds Islam, he takes SHAHADA

“There’s no God worthy of worship but Allah and Mohammed, salAllaho ‘alaihi wasallam, is His servant and messenger!”

Hand Chopping in the Bible and A Strange Argument Against It

We have mentioned the Bible passage teaching the amputation of any woman who defends her husband against his assailant via an attack to the his private parts.

"[11] When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, [12] then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall have no pity.” [RSV Deuteronomy 25:11-12]

Now, it is obvious that this passage is teaching hand chopping for any woman carrying out such a low blow. Dr Hector Avalos points out most scholars agree with the obvious reading of the passage (i.e. chopping off the woman’s hand):

Most scholars accept a literal interpretation. For example, Tikva Frymer-Kensky stated the following on p. 1033 of A History of Ancient Near Eastern Law (2 vols.; Leiden: E. J. Brill, 2003), which Dr. Matt Flannagan had cited before:


“The penalty for injury is talionic retribution (Lev.24:19-20). The exception is the woman who protects her brawling husband by grabbing the other man’s testicles with force...Her hand is to be cut off (Deut. 25:11-12). Intention does not count, even though she tried to save her husband rather than injure the victim.”  Underhanded Biblical Interpretation: Deuteronomy 25:11-12 in Context by Dr. Hector Avalos

As Christians are busying themselves in repackaging their religion some have proceeded to reinterpret their scriptures to circumnavigate the passages which do not chime with Western norms (i.e. the passages they find to be embarrassing).

Ridiculous: It means shave her pubic hair not chop her hand off!

 Dr Paul Copan, has offered an absolutely absurd explanation of Deuteronomy 25:11-12:

“...A more plausible interpretation of the passage is the punishment by depilation (‘you shall shave [the hair of] her groin’), not mutilation.”  Underhanded Biblical Interpretation: Deuteronomy 25:11-12 in Context by Dr. Hector Avalos

Dr Copan, describes his explanation as “more plausible”. Is he for real? Does he really think the Biblical term “have no pity” can relate to shaving a woman’s pubic hair???

Moreover, how in the world would shaving a woman’s groin be related to a punishment for her injuring of a man via a low blow???

Nevertheless, expect the new age Christian flock spouting such odd reasoning in their attempts to pre-emptively strike at  what some in the churches may feel uncomfortable
