Excerpt:
After the heroic Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders spoke in Florida last week, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned his remarks, saying: "In his speeches, he claimed that 'Islam is not a religion' and 'the right to religious freedom should not apply to this totalitarian ideology called Islam.' Mr. Wilders also stated that the Koran is a book of hatred, and that Mohammed was both 'a pedophile and a warlord.'"'
These are serious charges, but they don't stand up to close inspection. In light of the fact that the hadith collection that Muslims consider most reliable, Sahih Bukhari, reports no less than five times that Muhammad (then in his fifties) consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine years old, Wilders would have little difficulty making the charge of pedophilia stick. And given that Muhammad participated in numerous battles during his prophetic career, all but one of them offensive, the "warlord" charge can easily be established from texts that Muslims consider accurate in reporting the details of Muhammad's life.
