Here is the text of the statement by Jerry Vines, outgoing president of the SBC: "Islam is founded by Mohammed, a demon-possessed pedophile who had 12 wives, and his last one was a nine-year old girl."

Not quite correct: After his first wife Khadidja died 619 Mohammed in 623 married his 2nd wife Aisha at age 9. He was 50 at the time and Aisha had been groomed for this marriage from age 6...


For roughly 15 years, he was married monogamously to a woman who was 15 years his senior. In a world where the average lifespan was 30, taking a wife at the age of nine may have appeared only slightly premature.
