Apparently one of the Muslims at my job was trying to talk to people about Islam. I told him one of the biggest problems I have with Islam is what Mohammed did with Aisha when she was just a little girl and he was an older man.
He said "No, Aisha wasn't the little one, Aisha was older than him". I said "you're thinking of Khadija, his first wife" and he said "yes Khadija". I said "Aisha was the little one". He kept denying it, and said that Mohammed didn't force her and she was 16 when he had sex with her. I said "He married her when she was 6 and had sex with her when she was 8" and he denied it. Finally I got him to admit there was a younger wife but he claimed to not remember her name and it definitely wasn't Aisha.
Is this guy using Taqqiyah or just stupid?
I'm going to try to avoid this subject with him from now on. My other coworker told me it was funny because it seemed that I knew more about Islam than the Muslim did.
He said he wasn't offended and things seemed ok when we left. I wouldn't have talked about any of this at all if he wasn't going around trying to convert people to Islam. The subject was brought to me first. It's hard for me to hide my anger about Islam. I wanted to tell him that I learned all I needed to know about Islam from 9/11 and the Boston bombings, but I did hold back on that.
For some reason when I was talking to this Muslim I was thinking about Jonathan Uman and how unfair it was what happened to him and how evil Islam is for killing people like him that were loved by their families, and how Islam is still killing and mutilating people all over the world. It really put an intensity into my feelings thinking about all the victims and him in particular and how wrong it was and how wrong Islam is.
