    It is something that’s really really really hard to go all “it was a different time” and “it’s fine, everyone did it” about. It’s just too fucked up.

      This excuse would be plausible except for one thing. You claim to have a direct line to a supreme being who tells you right from wrong. You think they’d drop a hint about not shagging kids.

        Unless you talk to a certain KIND of religious person, then they see absolutely nothing wrong with it “because it’s in the holy book” therefore it’s okay in modern times too.

        That’s one set of emails and calls to CPS I won’t ever lose sleep over.

      Racism is when you think 53-year-old man having sex with a 9-year-old girl is fucked up.

        I would guess the Muhammad part. Pedophiles are not exclusive to the middle east or religions in general

          I’m genuinely curious; given the historical basis upon which this spicy meme is founded, why would it be racist? Nobody is saying anything about race or religion, it’s specifically calling out one man, revered by billions, who married a child.

            I think they might’ve though Muhammad was used to just refer to Muslims in a general way instead of the prophet Muhammad.

              Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well. “Muhammad” in it’s various different spellings IS the most popular name in the world after all. Still though, it’d be weird for anyone to claim that all people named Muhammad are ALL interested in 9 year olds named Aisha
