In Response to “prophet or pedophile”

One thing that is so important when examining other cultures or religions is the idea of relativism. It is hard to read some of the postings because they are so eurocentric it does not even make sense. First of all, we are talking about a marriage that happened over a thousand years ago. People got married earlier back then, and even now a days we can see this happening. Now of course its not as widely accepted but you have to keep in mind that its a different culture with different rules and customs. Also, Prof. said that the age is really up for debate so no ones sure exactly how old she was. I think that if you try and use this to discredit Islam in any way you’re just trying to find something bad to say.
