Also, in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2021:7-11;&version=51;" target="_blank">Exodus 21:7-11</a> as further elaborated on below, girls were sold off as slave girls by their own fathers to other men.  So most certainly, no one is qualified to call the Prophet of Islam a pedophile!  *** <a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/x_rated.htm" target="_blank">X-Rated Pornography in the Bible.</a>  *** <a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/fathers_rape.htm" target="_blank">Fathers sticking their fingers into their daughters' vaginas before marriage in the Bible.</a>    Young girls in the Bible and Jewish Talmud.  Let's look at two main points in the Bible:  1-  3-year old slave girls were forced into sex under the Mosaic Law in the Bible. 2-  Fathers can sell their daughters as slave girls to other men in the Bible.     1-  3-year old slave girls were forced into sex under the Mosaic Law in the Bible:   Pedophilia with 3-year old slave girls in the Bible! Forcing 3-year old slave girls into sex during the Mosaic Law in the Bible! (<a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/age3.htm" target="_blank">click here</a>)         Is the GOD of Israel a pedophile?                 Quick side Note:       <a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=Numbers+31%3A35-40&NIV_version=yes&language=english&x=15&y=8" target="_blank">Numbers 31:35-40</a> "[From the captives of war] 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.......of which the tribute for the LORD was 32 [among them were virgin girls]."               Even though GOD Almighty's share of the 32 virgin girls is metaphoric, meaning that He didn't come down and have sex with them, but if any wants to call Prophet Muhammad a pedophile or womanizer for marrying (his best friend's daughter with both her parents' approval) a young girl and marrying multiple women throughout his life, then he should not only call his Biblical Prophets as such, but also the GOD of Israel Himself!                     Also today, the Jewish law for marriage sets the age of consent for females at 11. (Consent is only one way of marriage) I do not know if modern Jewish law still allows (in theory) betrothal by intercourse as it was practiced in ancient times. Thirty years ago, the renowned sexologist R.E.L. Masters and Allan Edwardes said in their study of Afro-Asian sexual expression (_The Cradle of Erotica_, Julian Press, New York:1962) said, "Today, in many parts of North Africa, Arabia, and India, girls are wedded and bedded between the ages of five and nine; and no self-respecting female remains unmarried beyond the age of puberty." **** Also, the age consent in the US and Europe only 100 years ago for girls' marriage was as little as 10, and some popular men figures married little girls who were as young as their daughters.  <a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/age3.htm" target="_blank">I have provided the Western links and proofs.</a>  By the way, please visit: <a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/x_rated.htm" target="_blank">X-Rated Pornography in the Bible.</a>  The Bible literally says that women's vaginas and breasts taste like "wine".  Also visit: <a href="http://www.answering-christianity.com/fathers_rape.htm" target="_blank">Fathers sticking their fingers into their daughters' vaginas before marriage in the Bible.</a></blockquote>
