Muslims DO defend the practice of paedophilia:
"Because this happened to the Prophet, we cannot tell people that it is prohibited to marry at an early age."
Sheikh Hamoud Hashim al-Tharihi, general secretary of the Vice and Virtue Committee and member of the Islah Party in Yemen
Another example:
An Imam at a town centre mosque in the UK , Ebrahim Yusuf Kazi, 67, was found guilty this week of five counts of indecent assault on three girls aged under the age of 13.
http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news ... ung_girls/Muslim men are supposed to emulate the prophet in their lives, so they are encouraged to marry little girls.
muslims have a problem, If we they judge the actions of muhammad by modern standards, then he committed peadophelia and rape, and if they defend muhammad then they cannot claim that Islam does not encourage paedophilia.

This is what Shaf's wrote, then he changed his opinion when he saw he got caught in a lie.
