@vishontar >>> He eradicated slavery, which was deep rooted in the society at that time. He took jews of mecca as slave after killing all their male relatives. All mughal kings after muhhammad had lots of sex slaves. Can you elaborate how he eradicated slavery. Most verses in quaran deal with the rights of slaves... yes he clearly mentioned rights of slave but it was 1/16 th of an ordinary man... I fail to see how this can be termed as removal of slavery. >>>>One thing is sure, if I were in Arab at the time of Muhammed, I would have been Muslim :). ha ha otherwise you would have died. >>> Some says, it was for protection but he could have adapt her as daughter. She was daughter of his cousion. He asked her hand when she was 6 years old. But muhhammads cousion found it very unsuitable to marry his daughter to 52 year old man. Any way he consumatted his marrige when ayesha was 9 year old. It was for protection?? may be you can send your daughter or your underage sister to me for protection... he died while making love to ayesha... what a great way to die... it pains to see how so many people blindly follow this man...
