This is a good comparison – just as the myth of Zeus and Ganymede is evidence of a normalized pedophilia in ancient Greece, so does the hadith of Muhammad consummating his marriage with a nine-year-old girl reflect the widespread acceptance of child rape within Islam and normalize its expected presence in Muslim communities.
Except for the fact that there was no pedophilia in ancient Greece and it wasn’t normal - rather, there was a typically non-sexual albeit eroticized educative tradition among a stratum of part of Greek nobility.
Nor is there widespread acceptance of child rape within Islam, although some communities/cultures seem sort of OK with it (I’m thinking of Afghanis and their “peg boys”. The latter, in turn, seeing nothing wrong with having peg boys when they’re older. presumably because it’s their turn now, I’unno.)
But do keep on keeping on, it’s always entertaining to wonder what new shovelful of bullshit you’re going to try and fling at Muslims, only to wind up covered in it yourself. I mean come on lad, even *monkeys *have mastered that art !
It is in some ways interesting to see a mental illness in action. I am guessing the manic action of the last weeks must be because the medications ended.
I do not see a reason to respond to the mentally ill person. He goes on about worshiping pedophiles which has no sense… It is just mental illness. Like the persons who rant about the catholic church and being in all conspiracies and the child molestation.
“Hey everyone in 15 years of SDMB people have not stopped posting views contrarian to my own so I’ll just keep repeating the words ‘mentally ill’ over and over again while I pretend to ignore them”.

Well . . . I’m pretty sure Greek pederasty was sexual . . . for certain values of “sexual.” But, it was not pedophilic, it was ephebophilic, which is a different thing.
