Bringing an ancient antagonism to a welcoming new land.
Meanwhile, why children? This could come from the culture established upon Muhammad’s example. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage and the sexualization of children are taken for granted in wide swaths of the Islamic world.
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old. Nowadays in the West there are elaborate efforts to deny all this. An Islamic scholar/apologist named Joshua Little has constructed an elaborate argument from close study of the chains of transmitters (isnads) of various traditions about Aisha, claiming that those traditions, despite appearing in Sahih Bukhari, the hadith collection Muslims consider most reliable, are actually inauthentic. Little’s argument, however, is absurd and self-contradictory. He acknowledges that the hadiths are late and unreliable from a historical standpoint, and even admits that the chains of transmitters, like the stories themselves, were freely forged. Then he bases his whole argument for the traditions being inauthentic even on Islamic grounds on the basis of the isnads that he just admitted could be forged. He claims to be able to determine the age of various traditions by how they were forged, but here is argument is so conjectural and subjective as to be essentially worthless.
Little is also a standard-issue lemming academic. He denounces people he calls “Islamophobes” for making much of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha. He ignores the primary reason why anyone cares about this: not because, as he claims, “Islamophobes” contend that Muhammad’s example forces Muslims to condone child marriage, but because all too many Islamic authorities do condone child marriage. In April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.
“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria
“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law
There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad’s example, but the Qur’an as well:
The Noble Qur’an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women, if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated” [Qur’an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur’an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A’isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari.
Other countries make Muhammad’s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.” According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” When he took power in Iran, he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine, in accord with Muhammad’s example.
“Aurora repairman arrested for alleged sexual assault of children; police say there could be more victims,” by Landon Haaf, Denver7.com, April 4, 2024:
A man who was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two children inside an Aurora home where he was working last summer has been arrested, and police believe there may be more victims.
Mohamad Arab Bin Shamsur-Alam is accused of sexually assaulting two girls on two separate occasions while working as a repairman at their home. The most recent incident allegedly happened in the summer of 2023.
Shamsur-Alam was arrested last Wednesday – his second arrest for sexual misconduct involving children. He was arrested in 2019 for indecent exposure and harassment for incidents involving two children in an unrelated case.
Police say Shamsur-Alam, 37, is a Rohingyan immigrant and may be targeting members of the Burmese community or other immigrant groups. The Rohingya are an ethnic group predominantly from Myanmar (formerly Burma).
“Based on his escalating behavior, investigators believe there may be additional victims who have had contact with Shamsur-Alam,” police said in a bulletin on their website. “The Aurora Police Department is working with community leaders to get this information to the Burmese and immigrant communities.”…
Sick Of It says
Never ever would a thing called Mohammed do a thing for me or my family.Had a Muslim ask for a job once,laughed hard at that one!
bagsgroove says
So what is the news in this ? A typical muslim who likes young girls,as the quoran tells them that young girls are fit for molestation. When is he ever going to be found guilty and sent to a prison where there are no muslims and where child molesters are taken care of.
somehistory says
Since 2019 was only five years ago…if counting from the first four months of the year, why was he able to be out and about last summer? That was only four years from the “indecent” crime. Why was he not locked up as a threat to children?
And ‘warning certain communities”…..ignores the fact that mozlums target children. Children in mozlum families are raped by the fathers, and the fathers friends…even being sold in fake ‘marriages.’
But, children from any group….little infidel girls….are considered fair game for the goons and snakes of islam. Little boys have been raped by mozlums who ‘can’t wait due to a sexual emergency’….lusting to rape and doubf so even in public places.
A general warning…a general questioning of any and all households where this snake has been to find if there are more victims.
And then send this snake back to his slimy hole; and if he is ‘legal’ in some way, lock him up and throw away the key.
Ray Jarman says
Since he has committed a felony, he can be returned to Burma where he will not fare so well. The Burmese have been killed by these followers of the fabricated pedophilic mass murdering monster called Muhammad and would provide the proper punishment to this sub-human.
somehistory says
thank you, Ray. Then they should send him back for punishment.
WPM says
He should have been on a pedophile watch list after getting caught the first time , why was he still a “repairman” where he could case homes and have access to young family members??A job like that should be a no-go for someone on a watch list. He should have a job with no access to children or families in their homes or near schools. Maybe road repair ,or digging ditchers ,or repairing appliances in a shop with only adults under supervision .He should be given a choice at this point chemical castration or deportation after serving jail time.
WPM says
Of course in new progressive America he could get a job with some democratic organization after release maybe maintained of children playground equipment on grade school playground. Or he could run for office under as a democratic as his “record” is expunge being a “newcomer” and so diverse. In a few years MAP will join the rest of the protected alphabet mafia as a protected group of sexual preference .

Don’t assume that Rohingyas are exclusively targeting Burmese. They target people of whichever country hosts them, much like President Trump’s poem about “The Snake”. In India, they have been behind a lot of the attacks on Hindus, be it their festivals, their temples and so on, despite the generosity of the Indian regime. Here in the US, they’ll target anybody who’s not muslim, just like they have elsewhere in the world
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR ALLAH WARNED YOU ABOUT says
Reference: “The Rohingya are an ethnic group predominantly from Myanmar (formerly Burma).”
I see the media once again distorting facts in favour of muslims.
Rohingyas are NOT an ethnic group from Myanmar. They are Bengali (Bangladeshi) squatters from the eastern coastal region of Bangladesh called Chittagong.
You may ask me… How do I know?
I know because I was born in Chittagong, Bangladesh and lived 30 years of my life there before immigrating to Canada. I can fluently speak,read, write and sign my name in Bengali. I am also fluent in the local Chittagong dialect called “CHITTAGONIAN” or “CHATGAYAH”. I’ve watched video clips of Rohingya’s being interviewed by media at the refugee camps along the borders of Chittagong and Mayanmar. They spoke in fluent CHITTAGONIAN/CHATGAYAH which I understood extremely well.
Media is the No.1 cause of many of the global problems
Rohingya’s are muslims who are being funded by some Arab countries and assisted by terrorists groups. They are fighting the Myanmar authorities to take control of northern Myanmar and establish an Islamic state and it won’t stop there because they will then start regional wars (very similar to what Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis etc. are doing) with neighbouring countries.
What the Myanmar government is doing is absolutely right… these Rohingyas must be driven out of the area.
somehistory says
thank you very much for that information.
The media has a habit of hiding what the government and its mozlum henchghouls don’t want us…the public….to know.
And since the majority of the people who come here and read, many to comment, have never lived where you grew up, we don’t have many…if any…unbiased sources to find what you know personally.
I had looked up online after reading a previous account about the Rohingyas and it said that about them being ‘an ethnic group’, but something ran around in my mind at the time, thinking that their behavior was very much mozlum.

You are right! The British colonial definition of Rohingya was “Bengali Muslim from Chittagong”. Since the Brits forcibly took Indians and moved them to various other parts of their empire, like Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana… in the case of Burma, they conveniently moved Chittagong muslims to that place
Post colonial times, those descendants of those original settlers should have assimilated into Burma. Except that like muslims everywhere, they were a nuisance, which is why every political entity in Burma – not just the junta, but both Aung San Suu Kyi, Dr Thet Thet & others, all claimed that Rohingyas didn’t belong in Burma. Result was the Burmese push that drove them out. Bangladesh has settled some of them on an island, where they continue to behave like entitled brats, but what’s worse, countries like India have given them refuge as well. In return, they have become a law & order problem for Hindus
They should all be rounded up and resettled in either Bangladesh or Pakistan
Scotsman48 says
The British Raj did NOT forcefully take Indians to all the places you mentioned as such Indians went there on their own accord seeking a better opportunity and life for themselves, Bengali muslims went across Coxs Bazaar into Burma from the Indian State of Bengal to work the Coffee Plantations owned by various British men and they stayed just like the Tamils from South India who went to Ceylon and British Malay to work the Tea Plantations owned by British men and stayed.on. Ceylon became Sri Lanka and British Malaya became Malaysia.
The Burmese Junta offered these Bengalis Citizenship but they refused calling themselves Bengali and now they have found a new name for themselves, Rohingya, just like Arabs who call themselves Palestinians for political brownie points.
abu taleb says
People of Aceh, the only province in Indonesia that implements shariah law, kicked out the arriving Rohingya people who came to the shore. The Rohingyas must have done something which makes the locals hate them.
It imust be the same in Myanmar, otherwise the locals who were Budhists wouldn’t attack them.
I wonder, are there muslims in group who do not create problems in the world? Seems like when muslims have become big in number, then they start to demand things from others, create problems because they think they have the privilege as muslims.
OLD GUY says
When you are taught from five years of age that women are for your pleasure including vary young girls what do you expect these boys to do. If you teach young children that it is their duty to kill non muslims they will grow up with that belief and many will follow their beliefs. Mosque are training facilities for teaching violence and hate against others. The only love they teach is for yourself and fellow muslim/islamic jihadist. Islam is in your face HATE & VIOLENCE.
