This is actually a huge misconception; long story short, Aisha was 19 at the time of marriage.
People (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) often cite a very weak and unauthentic Hadith that states she was 6 or 9 at the time of marriage. This Hadith not only is unauthentic based on the weakness of its ing evidence, it also doesn’t properly align with known ages of her during other historically significant events. In other words the Hadith is crap. If you dig deep and do the research and math, you’ll find she couldn’t have been younger then 18 or 19 at the time of marriage
Thank you for clearification.
I don’t understand why some people are so… enthuiastic to prove a religion’s prophet was a pedo, and even use provocation to twist the knowledge we have… Just let others live their religion won’t ya!
(the wife of the Prophet) I had seen my parents following Islam since I attained the age of puberty. Not a day ed but the Prophet (ﷺ) visited us, both in the mornings and evenings. My father Abu Bakr thought of building a mosque in the courtyard of his house and he did so. He used to pray and recite the Qur’an in it. The pagan women and their children used to stand by him and look at him with surprise. Abu Bakr was a Softhearted person and could not help weeping while reciting the Qur’an. The chiefs of the Quraish pagans became afraid of that (i.e. that their children and women might be affected by the recitation of Qur’an).
Also feel free to email me with any questions you may have, I’ll gladly answer them to the best of my (unfortunately) limited knowledge or I’ll do the necessary research.
Ah man that’s gonna be difficult, I found out all this after 6 or so hours of research (mostly from texts, the internet if saturated with bullshit, either from extremists or islamophobes). I’ll look around for an online source that could help clarify things (I currently dont have access to the texts), If I find something good I’ll PM you.
@Goldenpwny: I’ve never heard that. I’ve only heard the ages I cited, and something about Aisha still playing with toys after she was married. I’d like to be proven wrong (really). Can you give me a source?

@D715: Regardless of “the normal age of marriage at the time,” she was like six when he married her and nine or ten when he fucked her. Culturally sanctioned pedophilia is still pedophilia.
To the best of my knowledge, depictions of Muhammad are a bit sacrilegious to Muslims, regardless of context.
That having been said, if this image does cause outrage, it must be from a cultural standpoint; as a non-Muslim I can’t see anything intentionally mocking about it.
people often forget that she was only a few years younger than the normal age of marriage of the time. He did wait until she was older before doing anything. Plus it was a political
(for the record, I think there need to be more depictions of the Prophet [PBUH], if for no other reason than to cause the ME protesters to suffer cascade overflow; they can’t kill and/or threaten everyone, and rage & anger are finite resources that can burn out pretty quickly)
