Hi

[Sam]

Steady on Kyu ...

Segwaying that into a mild acusation of paedophillia doesn't exactly reflect well on the forums (especially from a mod).

It's well documented that around the time the Qur'an was written it was acceptable to marry younger woment, probably because of shorter life-spans etc ... Obviously I am not advocating paedophillia in any way, shape or form and there can be no excuse for it in modern culture ... It just seemed a bit harsh.

Sorry Sam, I can't agree with you because P2U is here and now and is saying he would follow his prophet's example (how he behaved then) here and now and that is simply not acceptable in this day and age ... in that context it doesn't matter a flying fig whether it was acceptable then, it is only important how it is seen now given that the proponent (P2U) says he uses that person as an example.

TBH I think it would reflect WORSE on this forum if we weren't to object to such things.

I accept your viewpoint Kyu,

In a way I'm not arguing with the point your making i.e. that to follow the example of the prophet Mohammed one would have to break modern moral standards (and in extremes such as 'paedophillia' etc ...) I was just a little concerned because it seemed to be as an impartial reader that it was a bit of an outright attack if you will ... maybe coming from a mod it could have been worded better.

Cheers

Sam
