Talk:Criticism of Muhammad

message: Ali Sina is an activist without qualifications in Islamic studies. His works lack peer-reviewed sources and are self-published, lacking the rigorous scrutiny required for reliable academic research.
Similarly, the IslamQA website relies on original research, lacks editorial oversight, and has a non-neutral viewpoint, making it an unsatisfactory source according to Wikipedia.
Furthermore, it is important to note that the information provided in the section about Aisha's age is redundant. The first part of the section has already presented the established background concerning Aisha's age at betrothal and consummation. The subsequent line merely alludes to a differing viewpoint from a minority perspective. Hence, this sentence is considered unnecessary repetition. StarkReport (talk) 12:15, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Btw: it is near-universally accepted that she was 6 (possibly 7) at marriage and nine at consummation. The website is simply a source of a prominent scholar's viewpoint. Indeed, this article has nothing to due with Islamic studies. It has to do with critics and criticism of Islam--not historical facts. I will not change your edits now, however.

replies: text: Hello Chamaemelum. It is indeed accepted by most about the notion regarding Aisha's age. While criticism is a valuable aspect of any discourse, it is crucial to present information in a structured manner that upholds scholarly standards. This entails considering the qualifications and recognition of critics within the relevant field, as well as ensuring the information is presented in a logical and coherent order, rather than as a series of counterclaims.

message: Can it be mentioned that, in defense of Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, in 1275, the marriageable age was 12 in England (ref. Marriageable age#cite note-Stephen Robertson, University of Sydney, Australia-22). Having s** with a girl was 10+. Until 1875, that was the case. Then it became 13 (ref. Marriageable age#cite note-26). So, as recently as 1875, the marriageable age was set pretty low! So, if you look at Muhammad's time, it's no surprise that marriage ages were as low as they were.  watermelon66 (talk) 14:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

message: One source in this article cites Quran 33:50 as saying that Muhammad had 11 wives. However, I have checked multiple translations of this verse and I have seen nothing to this effect. Perhaps it is mentioned in a different section of the Quran, but I am not sure about that. Mayhair (talk) 08:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
