Which is absolutely the point of any conversation abt whether or not child sex abuse is acceptable. That's not every conversation.https://twitter.com/Locke1689/status/800351935190568961 …

You get people to accept Mohammed sometimes was immoral, a lot can follow from that.
-
Which is relevant to conversations abt whether Muhammad was immoral but many other conversations exist.
-
But most other convos with Muslims hit barrier of "but Mohammed's revelation says X". So you need to bring in his credibility.
-
Which brings me back to my first tweet. "God exists/does not exist" "Muhammad is great/evil" shutting down wider conversation.
-
My point is, it doesn't. Usually Aisha's age argument forces them to accept either Mo was imperfect or Hadith inaccurate.

@Locke1689 You find that making every conversation re: Islam about paedophilia facilitates wider conversation abt tolerance & co-existence? -
.
@Locke1689 I find it makes people rage at each other on this one topic and never get to the wider ones at all. -
eg,In what way will 'Muhammad was perfect/a paedophile' assist a conversation abt whether faith schools increase radicalisation?

Difference is, Trump's credibility as a moral leader isn't fundamental to his ideology.
-
.
@Locke1689 It is to his ideological detractors. All Trump voters are judged to advocate or condone sexual assault. No other convo possible. -
In reality, many Trump voters oppose grabbing women's genitalia & intruding on naked teenage girls. Voted for other reasons.
-
Exactly. But thats not true for Muslims. They believe on the basis of Mohammed's perfect moral life and message.
-
Which they 'interpret' and cherry-pick according to their own values. Can certainly argue with those advocating child marriage.
-
But more often, conversations have nothing to do with child marriage or even Muhammad & are abt something else entirely.
-
Yet most disagreements with Western norms come down to teachings in Koran and Hadith.
