It's disingenuous, or profoundly ignorant, to suggest that a group representing the interests of the country shouldn't be afforded more rights than those groups who want to destroy it and all it stands for.

I honestly can't tell which of these you think is the "group representing the interests of the country."

Some texts claim that the marrage was consumated a few years after, making Aisha between the ages of 9-11. In 600 CE, that was the norm. The Virgin Mary wouldn't have been much older than 12.

Oh, yeah, I'm dying to see your source for this :allears:

Older age of consent laws are a pretty recent thing like modern medicine and just like modern medicine it's a very good thing that they're being used today.

Notice how I quoted the bit about "Ages 9-11" being the norm? That's decidedly pre-pubescent and was not the norm for a consummated marriage in 600 CE, 0 CE, or indeed ever.
