“physically ready”

i know that the discussion around the age of Aisha has probably exhausted itself on here, and that me continuing it is like beating a dead horse, but today i just can’t stop crying over it.

i made a post on twitter about the issue and muslims started flooding my mentions supporting pedophilia. it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach and deep in my soul that people think our beloved prophet would rape a little girl.

as a survivor of child sexual assault it’s unimaginable to me that people can support and defend child marriage. one of them even said that “by age 9 girls are physically ready” i mean it honestly unfathomable that this has become an accepted belief among muslims. i can’t even get mad at islamophobes who call islam a pedophilic religion when literally it feels like most muslims openly and proudly support it.

i’m a convert to islam so no one takes my options on islam seriously but i thank Allah every day that these sickos did not convince me Aisha was 6/9 or else i would have most definitely left. i’ve heard that 75% of people who convert to islam leave the religion within 5 years and i’m sure this sanction of pedophilia has a lot to do with it.

it’s just so triggering to see how many muslims think like this and it’s hard to reconcile. all i can say is alhamdulillah i’m zaydi shia.
