Another difference is,the story of jesus wanting to die is highly suspect, even at the last he called out to god, wondering what the heck was happening, expecting some sort of divine teleportation out of there. And yea, verilly, it diddnt cometh. The whole Emo-goth bleeding for minkinds sin, stuff is very clearly add-ons from the out-of-a-job-apostles.
Mo's attraction to the girl who was still playing with dolls, is never denied, because it was acceptable for so long in that culture. It even exists today in a hidden form. There is no muslim who will not admit that aisha was 6 when they were betrothed or 9 when they "consummated".
They just in this order.
1) Ignore it
2) refuse to think about it.
3) Get angry with the person who reminds them of it
4) Explain it as acceptable for the times.
5)Claim that they were "In Love" ahh...how sweet!
If Mo hadnt done anything else to make his prophethood a mockery, this single fact of child abuse would be enough. Unfortunatly, it was one of a stream of things, from flying horses to highway banditry. |
