The fact is that the last revelation was Jesus Christ, Jesus said that other prophets would come but that they would be false prophets who would lead many astray.</b>

Compare Jesus Christ to Muhammad?

Do you even accept that maybe you are wrong?

To a certain extent I would agree with John here. He raised the question about Mohammad and his young wife, (Aisha ?) which was interesting and drew a long response. I disregard the last part about Jesus Christ because John basically says Christianity is better than Islam, maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

Now, the thing about Mohammad and his young wife, impacts women in Muslim countries throughout the world. For example, the age of consent to marry (with parents consent) until recently was 9, I think it is 14 just now. Effectively this allows young girls to be traded in tribal feudalism issues and no protection from abuse.

One side issue before my question is that Mohammad actually married Aisha when she was 6 but consumated the marriage when she was approximately 9.

<b>Now, my question is this, Do you really, really advocate that girls as young as 9 should be allowed to marry ? </b>
