I just think its unfair too reffer too a fictional character from 1500 years ago as pedophile considering 99.9 % of people alive back then where too same exact same degree pedos
Well, I don't think Mohammed was fictional. I think there's enough evidence for his existence.
Of course many people back then would count as paedophiles these days. But very few of them are held up today by billions of people as the perfect man who seek to emulate him.
Look at the Taliban and ISIS, and other conservative Muslims who still think it's okay to force pre-pubescent girls to marry old men.
No, it's not the majority of Muslims, these are the extremists or conservatives among the billions. Just as the conservatives who are young Earth creationists among the Christians are a minority.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't speak out against them.
They speak out against themselves so no work needs to be done.
except brew a hot cup of folgers and sit back and amaze in their stupidity.

So, in other words, you were talking through your ass.

Wait, one marriage is a source for "it was common"? I'm asking for a source. Not an anecdote.
You said that "50 years ago it was common for ww2 soldiers in the USA TOO COME HOME AND TAKE 13 YEAR OLD BRIDES".
You will either source that claim to a reputable source, or you will retract it.

No, he's saying that one cited instance isn't a source for the matter being "common", Einstein.

Hey, Vicki, you might have forgotten this, but I haven't. I'd appreciate the courtesy of an answer to my point.

You were asked to source a citation for your claim that it was common for returning GIs from WWII to marry 13-year-olds. Either source the claim, or withdraw it. It's not very hard. Tell us where you learnt this.
Realize that you're slurring a bunch of guys with a very broad brush. You need to have some very good data, or you need to retract, and shut the fuck up.

In two places, with parental and judicial consent. It is rare - you are now desperately talking out your ass.
