Saken mot Muhammed. Første anklage. Aisha giftet seg med mindreårig.

Muhammed giftet seg med et barn

Jeg skal starte med å si at jeg ikke nødvendigvis synes han var en pedofil selv om Muhammed her gikk langt over streken for hva som sømmer seg.  Til og med etter den tids standarder var det nok noe kontroversielt at Muhammed giftet seg med en 6 åring og ”fullbyrdet ekteskapet” når Aisha var 9 år.  Likevel skal jeg la være å bruke alle krefter på å stemple han som pedofil her, men i stedet bruke kreftene på å dokumentere de faktiske forhold. 

Saken er den at det finnes en mengde hadither med informasjon om Muhammeds barnebrud Aishas alder, men til tross for at 9 års alderen har vært regnet som seksuell lavalder i noen muslimske land nettopp på grunn av Muhammeds ”forbilledlige eksempel”, så prøver muslimer i vesten å bortforklare dette fenomenet med å antyde at hun var rundt 18 år.  Dette gjør de ved å bløffe på årstall og lage noen lengre rekker med indisier og dermed fornekte det som står i klartekst i sahih-hadither.  Først legger vi frem bevisene fra hadith:

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 382:
Narrated Jabir:
"Allah's Apostle said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "Not a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young girl who would have fondled with you?"

Sahih Muslim:
Book 008, Number 3309:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine. She further said: We went to Medina and I had an attack of fever for a month, and my hair had come down to the earlobes. Umm Ruman (my mother) came to me and I was at that time on a swing along with my playmates. She called me loudly and I went to her and I did not know what she had wanted of me. She took hold of my hand and took me to the door, and I was saying: Ha, ha (as if I was gasping), until the agitation of my heart was over. She took me to a house, where had gathered the women of the Ansar. They all blessed me and wished me good luck and said: May you have share in good. She (my mother) entrusted me to them. They washed my head and embellished me and nothing frightened me. Allah's Messenger (, may peace be upon him) came there in the morning, and I was entrusted to him.

sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3311:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.

***Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234:
Narrated Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years)....Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

*** Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88:
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

*** Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236:

When we came to Medina, the women came to me when I was playing on the swing, and my hair were up to my ears. They brought me, prepared me, and decorated me. Then they brought me to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and he took up cohabitation with me, when I was nine.

Her er altså bevisene og selv om det knapt finnes bedre dokumenterte påstander om Muhammed i hadith, så har de så store vanskeligheter med å forsvare hans handlinger og prøver i stedet å angripe bevisene gjennom en lang rekke motargumenter som hver for seg har en eller flere svakheter i seg.
Dette burde være bevis nok for enhver muslim, men i realiteten er det ikke så enkelt.  Når de blir litt presset, så finner de på en unnskyldning.  Også muslimer har en ”reality-check” av og til og skjønner at dette er neppe et godt forbilde i vesten.  Jeg tror faktisk ikke at muslimene selv tror på den bortforklaringen de serverer, men nå skal jeg ta for meg motargumentene fra muslimene en etter en, og de følger gjerne et mønster som kan villede en del, men ved å lese hva de faktisk sier så vil man finne svakheter i argumentene av den enkle grunn at de er ganske oppkonstruerte for å motbevise en faktisk hendelse.  Når man prøver på det sier det seg selv at det vil være brister i sammenhengen, men de kan være vanskelig å få øye på.  De enkelte motforestillingene tar jeg for meg i detalj i egne blogg-innlegg.
