Moslems have been showing, all over the world, their violent intolerance for any other view. In Nigeria, hundreds are murdered and churches burned because of a beauty pageant, in Iran, a college professor is sentenced to death because he dared question whether the rulers were the final say on all thought processes. In Iraq, people are tortured, gassed and subjected to heinous and deadly experiments. Moslem and Arab cruelty is evident throughout the world. And....... they have been savagely attacking the only peaceful and democratic nation in the Middle East, for many decades! Of course, some peabrains on SI, still support the moslem terrorists over Israel. Why? Possible genetic defects?

Maybe he had a great need for passing on his genes to ensure there will be many more Muhammad-like specimens down the line for the propagation of Islam? Who knows?

Muhammad possessed somewhere between 10 and 12 wives over his lifetime What do you mean, like perhaps 10.7 wives? <ggg> BIOGRAPHY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD Dr. A. Zahoor and Dr. Z. Haq (Copyright 1990, 1997, 1998 All Rights Reserved) cyberistan.org Sawdah and A’ishah (ra) were the only wives until he was fifty-six years old. The Muslims while defending their city and religion lost many men, which resulted in many widowed Muslim women and numerous orphaned children. In these circumstances, Prophet Muhammad (s) married several women during fifty-sixth year up to the sixtieth year of his life. He did not contract any marriage in the last three years of his life, following the revelation limiting the number of wives up to a maximum of four. This is the first time in the history of revealed scriptures that a limit on the number of wives was imposed and the terms of conduct were specified. The Prophet was instructed not to divorce any of his wives after this revelation [Qur'an 33:52]. All of the ladies he took as wives were either widowed or divorced, except A’ishah. The Prophet married Umm Salamah (ra) in 626 CE. Her husband had died of wounds inflicted in the Battle of Uhud (625 CE). When the Prophet asked her for marriage, she replied: "O Messenger of God, I suffer from three shortcomings. I am a very jealous woman, and I am afraid this might cause me to do things that you dislike. Secondly, I am an old woman. Finally, I have many children." The Prophet answered: "Regarding your jealousy, I pray to God to remove it from you. As for your age, we are similar in age. As for the children, your children are mine." Thus it was that she agreed to marry the Prophet. The Prophet’s marriage contract with Umm Habibah (ra) was solemnized, by proxy, by Negus, King of Abyssinia, in 628 CE. Two of his wives, Juwayriah and Safiyah, were prisoners of war. Both belonged to the family of the chief of their tribes and were set free by the Prophet; they then gladly accepted Islam and were pleased to become the Prophet’s wives. The Prophet’s marriages provided security to women who would have otherwise remained unmarried, unprotected, or felt humiliated. ------------------------------------ And this is from "The Clans" in Quran that you have quoted: 33:52 It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor to change them for (other) wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess (as handmaidens): and Allah doth watch over all things. holybooks.net ------------------------------------------ I think you are just looking for things to ridicule, which I find quite low and uninteresting. Trust me, your own religion is in no way immune from ridiculization. I am in no way a believer of Islam, and it is beneath me to insult a religion thus, so I am not going into details here but if you are interested to hear of a few pointers, send me a PM.
