I like her use of the word 'disgusting'. I'd like to ask her what she thinks of a guy in his 50s marrying a six-year-old and consummating said marriage when she was 9. Just curious where that falls on the disgusting scale for her, y'know, where between "morally reprehensible" and "let's revere him as a prophet" exactly.

I'm no expert in Islam but from what I understand the story of Aisha and her age is part of the hadith and not the Qu'ran. The latter is considered the word of god while the former stories passed down without the same rigor in methodology. Her age at time of betrothment and consummation of the marriage are simply not known and remains a debate today. What is known is that throughout the area and throughout Europe adulthood was not based on age but on puberty (most didn't know their age).
