Raping a child is inherently wrong just because it may have been common does not make it acceptable.
The practises of child marriage and of pederasty of young boys were both very common through out history. The understanding of rights that drives our perspective that these practises are rape is quite recent and your hysterical fixation on evaluating one historic figure through a this lens is unreasonable.
He is not merely a historic figure though is he, he is a prophet of God a man who Muslims believe to be the greatest person ever.
Even the greatest person even isn't infallible. Further, if accepting someone as a cultural hero means supporting every action they ever engaged in, us in the west have plenty of pederasts and takers of child brides to denounce. I'll wait for you to start denouncing the cultural heroes of Western civilization, or concede that our embrace of them means no more than Muslims embracing someone else who engaged in similar behaviours. Until then I'll accept your concession (by default) that you're merely a hypocrite.

I smell a dash of No true Scotsman. Please tell us more of what you believe Muslims believe, since you're clearly the foremost expert on them.
