Another Mea Culpa
After posting a comment about Islamic Law and the punishment of child molesters, I decided to go searching for the realities of Islamic Law on this subject. What I discovered is that child molestation appears to have an historical precedent in Islam, set by Muhammad himself when he married a 6 year old girl. So, the practice of pedophilia is ‘Sunnah’ (or tradition of the Prophet which lingers in Islamic countries today).
Humanity vs. Muhammad bin Abdallah
I’m not criticizing Islam, but in my culture, using children for sexual gratification is a crime and damaging to the child. I don’t know about Islamic culture, past or present, and searching for answers on the internet is like entering a beehive face first.
Regardless, Islam seems to harbor no answers in regard to the punishment of sexual predators and child molesters.
So, another apologia from this writer for compulsive posting and fact-checking afterward.

Child marriage, which The prophet did as an adult in his private affairs, as well as polygamy, cannot be bad because the Prophet did so. Islam would probably punish sexual or physical abuse, but no definition of pedophilia that makes sense to us could be written anywhere in Sharia law. Implied criticism of Him.
