Response: But being bias to accepting the truth is not illogical.

Skeptic's annotated (which, you know, explicitly tries to find examples of nutjobgery in holy books) seems to say that it's not actually in the quran (no mention of the Sunnah/Hadiths) http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/...mages.html
That's not to say it's not a part of the religion as it actually exists...
No, lets get into the horrible stuff. How old was Aisha when she was married to Muhammad?
That's part of it. Though I wouldnt say that Muhammed is unique in being loved by his followers, yet seen by others as less that impressive (L. Ron Hubbard for example), many religions really...
Response: Muhammad wrote the marriage contract with Aisha when she was 6 years old and entered the marriage contract by living with her when she was 9.
Yet there is nothinhg horrific about it. Marriage is to love and protect someone, so it cannot possibly be horrible to do so.
