why was it okay for Muhammed to have sex with a 9 yr old or 12 year old girl, but it's not okay for adults today to do that ?
Our society has diffrent values. Age of consent is still 13 in Nigeria, nowadays. I don`t support it, but you go to far in your comparisons.

Different cultures. In fact, Oman says it's legal to have sex with a 9 year old after they are married, and that's perfectly fine, wel for me it is. It's their beliefs.
our society has BETTER values 😛

Nazi beliefs said it was ok to mass murder Jews.There's a line.
Note that Hitler lived in 20th century.
Would you apply same standards to Genghis Khan for example? Even Old Testament has genocide in the name of God.
For example Nazis could be given war trials because concept of war crimes existed at that time. You couldn`t have put someone living centuries ago on such trial, I think.

I agree that our values are better, but it is pointless to accuse people living so many centuries ago, because they lived in completely diffrent "world" to ours.On the same basis we can say that Romans were evil because they had slavery.
I agree, and I don't spend a whole lot of time on it unless people say crazy things like "pedophilia was ok because of the culture and the time"
The same way the culture and the time don't make slavery ok, it just is a valid explanation given history.
However I'm with Ushgarak on this one too, the Romans were evil. Slaves and criminals in bloodsport?
That's not what I am asking....this is not about whether it is okay to be a peadophile or not.
Please leave judgement out of this....this is about a clear observation....Muslimscholar, Fatima, Islamcleric...the question is simple.
Is Muhammed a peadophile, yes or no ?
In the thread entited "Islam Questions", this question was raised, but never really answered by you guys, so I decided to make a thread just about this one isolated topic.
Muhammed had sex with a 9 year old girl....Cleric says 12....fine, but either way she was very young, she was NOT an adult.
That was an act of peadophilia he committed when he consummated a marriage with a 9 year old.
Why do you deny it ?

It is very easy.
Genghis Khan was evil. People who start wars, regardless of the time they lived, are evil imho.
No, you can't put them on trial, but the law is hardly the best standard for morality.
