Quote:Again, theologians ≠ masses. The latter might use christianity or islam as the justification of their actions, but these actions are those of people, not those of islam or christianity.
Islam and Christianity are both religions they have no actions so what you are saying is correct but makes no point.
Islam is a belief and if the majority of Muslims believe that Muhammad married a 9 year old girl and that he is a role model then that is the Islamic system of belief.
I can only argue against what I know the majority of Muslims I've talked to believe in including the poster of this thread. I can't argue against something you discovered recently based on what some theologians said.
Quote: WHY are 9 year olds vulnerable? WHAT *specifically* makes them vulnerable?
Their lack of experience, immaturity, their bodies are smaller and weaker, they are usually more reliant upon their parents at that age or guardian. More likely to die from childbirth if they do get pregnant.
Quote:Okay... now focus, because I'm going to ask you the same question I've asked you for the last 10 posts:
Why?
Because I think 9 year olds should be more focused on their education over having sex and becoming pregnant and raising a child.
Quote:Have I *yet* argued for a specifically "Islamic?" system of marriage?
If you haven't then you're on the wrong thread.
Quote:Is there clearly a relationship between "biological and psychological maturity and age"?
Yes.
Also I still don't know what a "logically defendable legalization tool" is you still haven't explained this to me.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
