Round 1
Mohammad married Aisha when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Found in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
Pedophilia refers to sexual attraction towards the very young. Aisha was 6 years old when Mohammad married her. Therefore Mohammad is a pedophile.

You are comparing a period of time that is over fourteen hundred years old, when the physical and intellectual makeup of humankind was completely different from what it is now. The stages of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood are radically different from those of today.
The foundational argument rests directly on primary Islamic jurisprudence sources. According to the most universally accepted Sunni Hadith collections, Sahih al-Bukhari (Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234) and Sahih Muslim (Book 8, Number 3309), Aisha herself narrates that the Prophet Muhammad married her when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old. From a strictly textual standpoint, this timeline is a matter of recorded historical tradition within the sources themselves.
By applying contemporary clinical and psychological definitions, pedophilia involves sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Because a nine-year-old child is biologically prepubescent, applying modern legal and psychological frameworks leads to the conclusion presented in the motion.
