I heard that he only married Aisha as a means to provide security for her and never even had sex with her until she became of age. Perhaps we are viewing this through Westernized lens.

I think viewing Mohammad through a modern lens where we try to reconcile his behavior to our own standards of right is already taking things too far out of context. His conception of "marriage" and "of age" were specific to his time and place. Insisting that he must have been a perfect gentleman by our modern standards and trying to make excuses for his actions feels more like propping up a convenient fiction whose only function is to make people comfortable.

So TL:DR, "It was a different time?"

Isn't the modern standard the exact same reasoning that you displayed though? The modern standard is this confused ambiguity which is there because although we don't want to shit on people's religions, not all religions conform to our own beliefs. But Mohammed wasn't according to Muslims and that's good enough for me

I think losing track of that idea is dangerous, particularly since there is such a push to turn him into more of a myth than a man. If we want to seriously look at him as a historical figure, then it is important that we don't paper over all the parts of his history that we might find repugnant.

I have no problem criticizing Islam. There's plenty to criticize it for in the present day. Mohammad's personal life isn't the place I would start.

it "being a different time" is exactly the same as saying "well everyone else is doing it"

Exactly. When I was fighting the Arabs as part of my military police officer duties in Nam, I learnt that South American cultures like Saudi Arabia have far different ideas than the judgemental West.

LOL I'm not trying to morally justify it in either Mohammad's time or our own. I honestly don't care what Mohammad did or didn't do, and I have no reason to make excuses for him.

He didn't have sex with her, instead he rubbed his dick on her pussy and fucked the thigh gap. At the time this was actually a remarkable show of restraint as most people would just fuck their wives no matter the age.
