Sure ok, let's just leave it that then I guess.

I thought you wanted to disengage?

I used a deliberately “generous” source that still admits that the event happened. I could have used a much more incendiary one, but I didn’t.

I didn't deny it, I just pointed out that even in that case it's still ahistorical to apply our modern standards to it, which even your source admits.

Ok

Your own source says this:

So, the Prophet’s marriage to Ayesha was nothing out of the ordinary for the time in which this marriage took place. Insisting on 21st century (Western) ideas on morality and marriage, which evolved in their own right, for a very different time and place is an ahistorical approach.

That's also a historical thing that needs to be looked at in it's cultural and historical context, which is the historical materialist way to analyze it tbh. We can't use "presentism" when looking at things in the past:

I mean biden did say "between adults" so I'm gonna interpret it charitably.

(leftist to conservative arc)

For real tho it's surprising to see what issues bring out the inner conservative in nominally leftist people
