Critics allege that Aisha was just six years old when she was betrothed to Muhammad, himself in his 50s, and only nine when the marriage was consummated. They base this on a saying attributed to Aisha herself (Sahih Bukhari volume 5, book 58, number 234), and the debate on this issue is further complicated by the fact that some Muslims believe this to be a historically accurate account. Although most Muslims would not consider marrying off their nine-year-old daughters, those who accept this saying argue that since the Qur'an states that marriage is void unless entered into by consenting adults, Aisha must have entered puberty early.
They point out that, in seventh-century Arabia, adulthood was defined as the onset of puberty. (This much is true, and was also the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulme.) Interestingly, of the many criticisms of Muhammad made at the time by his opponents, none focused on Aisha's age at marriage.

According to this perspective, Aisha may have been young, but she was not younger than was the norm at the time. Other Muslims doubt the very idea that Aisha was six at the time of marriage, referring to historians who have questioned the reliability of Aisha's age as given in the saying. In a society without a birth registry and where people did not celebrate birthdays, most people estimated their own age and that of others. Aisha would have been no different. What's more, Aisha had already been engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad, suggesting she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while. It seems difficult to reconcile this with her being six.
In addition, some modern Muslim scholars have more recently cast doubt on the veracity of the saying, or hadith, used to assert Aisha's young age. In Islam, the hadith literature (sayings of the prophet) is considered secondary to the Qur'an. While the Qur'an is considered to be the verbatim word of God, the hadiths were transmitted over time through a rigorous but not infallible methodology. Taking all known accounts and records of Aisha's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19.
Because of this, it is impossible to know with any certainty how old Aisha was. What we do know is what the Qur'an says about marriage: that it is valid only between consenting adults, and that a woman has the right to choose her own spouse. As the living embodiment of Islam, Muhammad's actions reflect the Qur'an's teachings on marriage, even if the actions of some Muslim regimes and individuals do not.

he is wrong about anyone being able to become rich though the system is not set up to allow that

TC you're usually smarter than this...

They are both RPGs

The problem is the term RPG is a wide net that almost nobody casts properly when they want to define the genre. Its always their favorite games that get left in.

Why would Amazon raising their minimum wage effect your pay at Whole Foods?

The minimum wage increase at one company is not going to be universally applied to every other company lol

Especially when Amazon is a waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger company than Whole Foods. Besides, even with how shitty retail can be, you don't have to deal with the garbage ass workplace conditions they do

I've never seen anything alt-right related from CA when browsing r/all. I don't see what the problem with the Ice Poseidon sub is either other than that they're just as bad as any other fanbase out there.

Do you feel anything through them

Lmao that is sad.

Now you gave her a feel for something better than what you can offer.

I'm afraid to google whatever a "penis extender" is.

you got a small dick?

Pics?

so you put your dong inside of something, and then bang her with that?
i dont think id like that. at all.

I imagine so. People with her frame rarely have anything bigger than a c cup.

Not that I doubt it's legitimacy, but since when did legitimate news sources start to use anonymous sources? That's been irking me for the past ten years. There's a difference between protecting your source by not naming it and actually not knowing your source and trusting it's legitimate.

The Rolling Stone UVa piece went up in flames because the author never bothered to fact check her source.

Use whatever time frame you want.

It leads to a situation like when the prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said half of his cabinet would be female, before he held a single interview. I mean your chief responsibility is to run the country to the best of your ability. How can you pre determine the gender makeup of your cabinet before you even look at the candidates. He basically said gender diversity is more important to him then competence...the ONLY acceptable criteria is competence. It's a horrid philosophy.

If you punish success and reward failure, guess which one you'll get more of.

Foolishly adhering to one parties beliefs without compromise is just making things worse.

Yeah, no shit, hence me pointing out how dumb it is for them to act like his "return" should be celebrated.

Yeah I'd fucking oppose this too.

1. He doesn't like JRPGs
2. It's not labelled as a serious review (those have "Dunkview" in the title)

It's just him making a joke. No need to get panties in a twist
