If the cap suits you put it on.How is called a warlord who initiates unprovoked wars that kill thousands?
There is no hatred of the religion, it is calling a spade a spade. Secular Islam is perfectly okay, but secular Islam is not the Islam Muhammad taught. Jihad was not a fight within our mind to become better people, but was literally a call of arms against nonbelievers. fecking an underage woman was not a figure of speech - and it does not matter if she gave consent or not - neither it was marrying 11 women.
In a civilized country, if you feck a 8-9 years old, you go to jail, simple as that. A Muslim who wants to emulate Muhammad, would go to jail in today's modern societies. But maybe 8 was a figure of speech for 28 and it should not be taken literally, and it is me who cannot see what is in front of my nose.
Fighting against the Meccans who fight against is not being a Warlord.
Abu Bakr and Umar conquering lands is a different story. In that vein the Christians conquer countries in the name of Jesus. Does it make Jesus responsible for the deaths?
As for the age of marriage of Aisha, yes today he would have been jailed. But in those times, without birth certificate etc a woman is considered an adult when she reaches her puberty. Islam also states marriage is between two consulting adults.
It's much later the age issue has cropped up. It's because the Arabs wanted to keep the women down and for them to " marry" whom they want to marry.
Sadly in some countries it's economic and in others political. The fact that Iran and Saudi Arabia talking about the age shows the tyranny of these countries rather than the essential nature of Islam.
