Whether or not Muhammad had sex with a 9 year old is immaterial. Sexually appropriate behaviour is a culturally relative phenomenon. If the claim is true, then it was appropriate for 7th century Arabia, as evidenced by the fact that the Prophet wasn’t denounced for it. Simply because we find ancient cultural mores to be repugnant is beside the point.
I’ll go so far as to say the vilification of Muhammad over this has a lot to do with his status as a religious figure. I notice that no one seems to get up in arms over the Greek practice of paiderastia or the Roman tradition of exposing weak or malformed infants.

Neither Greece nor Rome have assumed the role of authority for a transcendent moral order.
Which is what I said earlier, but thank you.
