If Smith is a hate-monger, then so is every imam

The restrictions on free speech are becoming absolutely insane when you can be investigated for hate speech against Muslims for simply saying what is in the Koran and the sacred Hadith:

THE radio presenter Michael Smith is being investigated by the media watchdog over his assertion that the prophet Muhammad ‘’married a nine-year-old and consummated it when she was 11’’.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority confirmed in a letter dated July 21 that it was investigating the remarks by the 2UE afternoon host.

Adem Cetinay, a Muslim from Bossley Park, complained that Mr Smith was inciting hatred against Muslims through his July 5 broadcast.

‘’By making this remark he is asserting that God’s messenger is a paedophile. This is racist, it’s stupid and it is not needed on air,’’ he wrote to the station’s program director, Peter Brennan.

In fact, the joke is that Smith was too kind to Mohammad. Islamic teaching is that the Prophet in fact consumated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine, not 11:

 

Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 62 :: Hadith 88

Narrated ‘Ursa:The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

If saying what is in the Islamic texts is a hate crime, every imam should tremble.

(No comments, because we just can’t be bothered going through them all, knowing the dangers of legal action these days, when even speaking the truth cannot save you. Thanks to reader Tasman.)

  1. This is ridiculous. The media, the courts and governments of too many nations are acting like this but the people are beginning to see the vast hypocrisy behind it al. This is not a good combination.

  3. This is what happens when people refuse to learn from the mistakes of history, the west is rapidly returning to a feudal society where class and money mean more then truth and the law.

  4. Ah hah! He got the age wrong! Islamaphoboe!!!!!!!

    Actually, those are lunar years, so she was about 8 & 3/4 when Mohammad came to claim his possession. She was playing with her dolls when he introduced her to his new “religion”. How… enriching?
