first of all there is nothing called the book of hadith period
there are a numoreous number of books that each collect a different number of hadith
so you must mention which book that is youre quoting

second hadith are not all right meaning that some of them are really not said by mohhamed and didnt really happen it was in later periods than the first era of islam were added by people with bad intenions and the examples are very well known

there somithing for every hadith called the chain
it is like it was reported by **** who heared it from *** who hered it from *** so on until it reaches mohammed
now there are some hadith that have in the middle of this chain some peopel who are known to be lairs
and some other hadith that we dont have its complete chain so we dont know who really reported them

that why again you must mention in what hadith book this hadith is reported so we can make sure

third of all iran is not actually mus,im main stream thoughts they are a country not a relegion
and you have an example of one muslim country which belong to a minority of muslims "shi'a" what about the other 30 muslim countries!!!!

doctor no
the same notation
name of hadith book and hadith number so we can check i mean we wont take your word fo it!!!

oh doctor no so you know tons of muslims that marry nowadays a 9 years old girl
well how would you say that all sunnah muslim countries have laws agnaist that!!!!
 
vincent,

why are you disdaining muslims, and why do you refer to the qu'uran as "the devils book".

if you want to be a christian that is fine but dont go saying that someone who worshidps another god is evil.

until any of you can prove the existence of any of your gods you dont need to worry about other people praising theirs
 
i am not rubishing muslims there are some muslims i like
but the actions of the few thousand loonies out there are making islam a joke religion

maybe its about time the good muslims, started to hold a rally against terroism
funny i have never seen a muslim rally against terroism
yet i have seen many other faiths holding rallies against terroism and war

example the irish over 1 million irish held a rally against irish terroism after the omagh bombing

so i throw this question at you why do not muslims rally against terroism?
 
so i throw this question at you why do not muslims rally against terroism?

They do. Many moderate Muslims are constantly speaking out against terrorism.

India had been heavily influenced by Islam. I have no idea what was culturally acceptable to them before Islam, but I do know that their civilization was quite advanced at that time.
I'd advise you to read this article, titled 'Child Marriage in Ancient India. It gives a historical account of the practice of child brides in India over a 4000 year period. Here is an extract:

The Kama Sutra is attributed to Vatsyayana who wrote his "profound discussion of love and sex" no later than 300 AD and perhaps as early as 300 BC. The work wasn’t original, it was a summing up of ancient wisdom. Love and sex were considered as something a-moral, something which transcends ethics and has its own justifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

That the attentions are being paid to pre-pubescent girls is shown clearly by the concluding paragraph on Kama Sutra courtship, "A man who has seen and perceived the feelings of the girl toward him, and who has noticed the outward signs and movements by which those feelings are expressed, should do everything in his power to effect a union with her. He should gain over a young girl by childlike sports."

Later, in the Yajñvalkya Smriri and its contemporary literature, we find that the fear of post-puberty marriages became so great that the Smitris brought the marriageable age of girls still lower. According to the Parashar Smitri and Sheeghrabodha the marriageable girls were divided into five categories:

1) Nagnika or naked. A girl seven years old or younger. This was regarded as best age for marriage.

2) Gauri. A girl eight years old.

3) Rohini. A girl of nine years old.

4) Kanya. A ten years old girl.

5) Rajaswala. A girl above ten years old.

According to Vaikhnasa, a Brahmin should marry a Nagnika since that is the best match. According to Marici the best age of marriage for a girl is five years old. Brahmapurana also prescribes marriage in childhood. Failure to do this will condemn the parents or gaurdian to utmost degradation.
Hmmmm

DoctorNo said:
Now you know that even in ancient times such a practice is criticized: "Terentia apparently criticized Cicero for marrying a young girl"
Shame you left our the rest of that quote:
Although Terentia apparently criticized Cicero for marrying a young girl, the matching of a man with a woman young enough to be his daughter or even granddaughter was generally accepted ... For a man to marry a woman who was much older than himself was discreditable. A couple who were both old might also be criticized.
http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/consortium/ancientweddings6.html
And while you are right, it was acceptable for a 12 year old girl to be married off, that should not be stated with pride at how Romans were more civilised because of that 3 year difference. But prior to the age of consent being set at 12 years of age for girls, a child could marry once they reached puberty. So if the girl reached puberty when she was 8 or 9, as does happen occasionally, she could be made to marry by her parents.
Bride and groom must have reached puberty. Over time, examination to determine puberty gave way to standardization at age 12 for girls and 14 for boys.

DoctorNO said:
No one as of yet was able to show us the cultural practices of ancient arabia before Islam. But at least we know now that the romans were nearly as civilized as we are today.
I found this little article that might be useful in regards to this topic, which discusses the marriage practices of the ancient Isrealites and girls were of marriable age at the point of puberty or when they reached 13 years of age.

The wife was to be taken from within the larger family circle (usually at the outset of puberty or around the age of 13) in order to maintain the purity of the family line; but she could not be too closely related as is shown by Leviticus 18.
http://www.theology.edu/marriage.htm

And here's another on the fact that girls became women at the age of puberty:
A father could not sell his daughter as a slave, according to the Rabbins, until she was at the age of puberty, and unless he were reduced to the utmost indigence. Besides, when a master bought an Isrealitish girl, it was always with the presumption that he would take her to wife. Hence Moses adds 'if she please not her master, and he does not think fit to marry her, he shall set her at liberty.' Or according to the Hebrew, 'he shall let her be redeemed.'
http://history.furman.edu/~benson/docs/grimke2.htm

Doc, I would dearly suggest that you read The Young Marriage of Aishah which discusses the marriage rights and customs in ancient Arabia before and during the time of Mohammed. One of the articles I quoted above is also mentioned in there. It's a quick read and if I was to post quotes from it, my post would be too long (it's long enough as it is now), so it's easier for you to just read through it.

DoctorNo said:
None, but they do marry 9 yr olds.
Who? You claim not to know any, and you claim that Muslim parents today are trying to prevent their children from marrying young. So who are they? Ah, here, I'll give you a hand:

"In many parts of Africa, Asia, and South America, young girls are often engaged by the age of eight, and leave their homes to join their husbands by twelve. In many cases, the younger the girl, the more her family receives in the form of a dowry. This program travels to the most rural and poverty-stricken regions of Ethiopia to expose the common practice of child brides and the consequences for the young girls who often give birth before they are out of childhood."--

DoctorNo said:
I told you, actions that violate personal liberties and basic rights trancends the bounderies of time & culture.
Mmm hmmm, so why aren't you protesting about these actions as they happen today? We live in an enlightened world, where we supposedly know better than the ancients did. Yet, instead of trying to stamp out the problem in our own time, people such as you continue to harp on about the practices from the 6th century, all because you hate their religion. Maybe it's time you concentrated your hate on other things. But then again, I forgot this little statement from you:

What's your point Quasimodo?

I see you are a fan of John Donne.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions


However Vincent, if you're going to post sermons, at least have the decency to not plagiarise it and give the source of the sermon. But here, I shall provide it for you:
For no man is an island.
And in the midst of life the death bell tolls.
And you and I and the whole of humanity –

So the bell tolls for you and me

A sermon preached by Rev Andrew Sails
Hmm astounding, you didn't even bother changing the punctuation. Tsk Tsk.

Now as to that little sermon. You do realise that it applies to you don't you? I'd suggest that you look at your hatred of Islam and apply that sermon to yourself.

LOL! A common mistake when dealing with this issue is the immediate assumption that Aisha at age 9 had already entered puberty.

However there are strong evidences that such assumptions are wrong.

  • "Aisha was still playing with dolls at the time of the battle of Khaibar when she was at least 14 years old. Your great Islamic scholars all maintain that according to the strict interpretation of Islamic laws and the hadiths, and in particular in Muhammad's time, ONLY PRE-PUBESCENT GIRLS were permitted to play with or own dolls, thus proving that when Aisha owned/played with dolls she was pre-pubescent.

    Aisha was still playing with dolls at the time of her nikah, the same day that Muhammad first had sex with her (according to Tabari).

bells

hells bells
a small poem i wrote and dedicate to you




Hear the loud alarum bells ---
Brazen bells!
What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!
In the startled ear of night
How they scream out their affright!
Too much horrified to speak,
They can only shriek, shriek,
Out of tune,
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,
In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,
Leaping higher, higher, higher,
With a desperate desire,
And a resolute endeavor
Now --- now to sit or never,
By the side of the pale-faced moon.
Oh, the bells, bells, bells!
What a tale their terror tells
Of Despair!
How they clang, and clash, and roar!
What a horror they outpour
On the bosom of the palpitating air!
Yet the ear, it fully knows,
By the twanging,
And the clanging,
How the danger ebbs and flows ;
Yet, the ear distinctly tells,
In the jangling,
And the wrangling,
How the danger sinks and swells,
By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells ---
Of the bells ---
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells ---
In the clamor and the clangor of the bells!



Hear the tolling of the bells ---
Iron bells!
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!
In the silence of the night,
How we shiver with affright
At the melancholy meaning of their tone!
For every sound that floats
From the rust within their throats
Is a groan.
And the people --- ah, the people ---
They that dwell up in the steeple,
All alone,
And who, tolling, tolling, tolling,
In that muffled monotone,
Feel a glory in so rolling
On the human heart a stone ---
They are neither man nor woman ---
They are neither brute nor human ---
They are Ghouls:
And their king it is who tolls;
And he rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls,
Rolls
A pæan from the bells!
And his merry bosom swells
With the pæan of the bells!
And he dances, and he yells;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the pæan of the bells ---
Of the bells :
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the throbbing of the bells ---
Of the bells, bells, bells ---
To the sobbing of the bells ;
Keeping time, time, time,
As he knells, knells, knells,
In a happy Runic rhyme,
To the rolling of the bells ---
Of the bells, bells, bells ---
To the tolling of the bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells ---
Bells, bells, bells ---
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

What? You're now assuming that her playing with dolls meant that she had not had her period? Grasping at straws now aren't you?

DoctorNo, in no way do I approve of any man marrying a child. However, I do acknowledge that it was a common cultural practice in history. You're applying modern morals to ancient history and saying that he was wrong to do something that is so morally reprehensible by today's society. Yet in the 6th century, it was allowed. Should the rules change to suit today's society? Yes. Hence why the laws have changed to adapt to the changing morals and values of society. Even in Iran today the age of female consent is 14, the same as Canada. One could look at any religious text and see some practices as being morally disgusting by today's standards. Ask any Muslim on the street today if they'd allow their 9 year old daughter to have sex with an old man if she'd reached puberty like Mohammed did with Aisha, and I'm betting the answer will be no. Why? Because of the way that our morals and values have evolved. And laws today reflect that change.

  • (1) Religious dictates:

    The Vedic mantras, such as the Rigveda mentioned that a girl could be married only when she was fully developed both physically and mentally and that she was to be fully developed physically before leaving her father’s home

    (2)

    After the sixth century the marriageable age of girls went down lower and lower. The stoppage of participation of girls in Vedic education, Upanayana rituals and the insistence of purity in yajna (sacrificial) ritual contributed to the lowering of the marriage age for girls.
So, up until the 6th century educated girls were following the Vedic religious practice which prevents them from marrying too early. And loooook, the age of marriage began to sink after the 6th century, about the time of Islamic expansion & influence.

You missed the point. In classical islamic law only pre-pubescent girls are allowed to own or play with dolls.

Bells, please remember this. For the common man who had lived in that culture, he had done no wrong.

HOWEVER,

For a Prophet who claimed to be a prime example FOR ALL TIME, then he falls under our standards as well.



So tell me, bells, as a prophet & example for all time, was he guilty of pedophilia or not?

Had you read that article closely Doc, you'd see that it was referring to it having been written in 300AD, before Islam. And as to the Vedic mantras, it states that a girl could be married after she had reached puberty. Again, puberty plays a large role in the girls physical development at that time. If you read on, it states the importance of the girl having reached puberty prior to marriage. Therefore, if the girl reached puberty when she was, say 8 or 9 for example, then she would be of marriable age. And Doc, read up on your history. Islam didn't really begin to have any influence in India until the 7th century. Islam's birth in the 6th century would not have been felt in India at that point. So, the sinking of the marrying age in the 6th century could not really be connected now could it? Hmmm? Especially when one realises that the first Islamic kingdom was not established until the 12th century. Why do you persist in arguing this point Doc? That's how it was in history. It was not only Mohammed who did it. Accept it and move on.

Because the most effective way of dealing with a problem is by attacking the root of the problem – their idolized bogus prophet. Right?
In that case, shouldn't your attack be based against ancient arabian culture? After all, that is the root of the problem is it not? After all, it was that culture that allowed the marriage to take place. Had it been seen as being morally reprehensible back then, do you think it would have occured? If they thought of it back then as we do today, do you seriously think that he wouldn't have been stoned to death for marrying her? Think about it Doc.
 
DoctorNO said:

I believe I have already answered that question above. If I were looking at it through modern western eyes, yes he is guilty of paedophilia. But I shall say this again. When looking at history, cultural relativity is essential. It is imperative to look at the cultural development and practices of societies and social groups on their own terms. It is essential that we look at history and ancient cultures without trying to impose our own moral values. Nor should we try to measure different cultural variations in terms of our own cultural standard. This is what I've been trying to say to you all along in this and what you continually fail to see.
 
are you alone bells you sound like a very lonley person
i have wrote another poem for you my love its called


Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then --- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life --- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.



the church bells are ringing bells feel free to join us bells in singing praises to the lord
we welcome all even the dark children
