What I find really interesting are the replies in that thread.
Check this for example:
Quote:
If someone asked you verbally if Muhammad Sallallhu 'alayhi wa sallam married a 6yr old and consumated the marriage when she was 9 I doubt you would be able to say the above.
This is one area I would struggle if someone asked but I would just say yes Muhammad Sallallhu 'alayhi wa sallam did, and one thing you have to remember is Muhammad Sallallhu 'alayhi wa sallam was unlike me and you - even you would have gave your daughter in marriage.
Notice how he realizes it's a tough cookie to defend, but he uses special pleading anyway because Mohammed, after all, is an elevated exception to the rule, and therefore not in submission to that user's moral standards.
You can tell how dangerous such a way of thinking could be.
