Not that I blame him. There were 104 comments already, and probably wouldn't have stopped for some time. I just wish I could have thrown in my link beforehand. ;) C'est la vie. Still, I am happy I put up the Aishah post; I was surprised I hadn't put it up already.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, I had a good laugh reading the comments of one Flanstein, an Islamophobe. He had challenged the Muslims on IJB to "Please cite the place you found in Jewish or Christian scriptures.where the marriage of a 50 year old to a child took place."<BR/><BR/>To which he was quickly told about the marriage of Joseph to Mary, Mother of Jesus (pbuh) that is mentioned in the Gospel of James (and is referenced in my Aishah post). Flanstein's response was classic:<BR/><BR/>"Virtually no Christian believes that joseph was 90 and Mary was 12 when they married. This tale seems to be constructed by muslims desperate to justify the pedophelia of their own “prophet”. (hence your “source” was a book written by a muslim apologist)"<BR/><BR/>No Christian would believe that who doesn't know all of the Christian scriptures...like you, Flanstein! :) What a joke! The Gospel of James is a long document, and some "Muslim apologist" wrote all of that just to insert a tiny bit of information about the ages of Joseph and Mary at the time of their marriage. Get real!<BR/><BR/>The Moral of the Story: Whenever Islamophobic Christians bring up the marriage of Aishah to the Prophet (pbuh), educate them in their own scriptures regarding Joseph and Mary...and then watch them <I>squirm!</I>JDsghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735390644321868222noreply@blogger.com
