Muhammad was not a good person, and it’s laughable to think so.

    In the Qur’an, Surah 68 verse 4, Allah states that “…[Muhammad] is a man of the highest moral excellence.”

    However, Muhammad married a six-year-old and had sex with her when she was just nine.

    As someone who believes that having sex with children is wrong, it is laughable to think that such a blatant pedophile is asserted by muslims as to be the standard of a good Muslim and indeed of a good man.

    Even if culturally it might have been less outrageous then, I still believe that a nine year old is not nearly mature enough to consent to sexual intercourse, especially not with a man nearly fifty years her senior.
