I’m genuinely curious; given the historical basis upon which this spicy meme is founded, why would it be racist? Nobody is saying anything about race or religion, it’s specifically calling out one man, revered by billions, who married a child.
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well. “Muhammad” in it’s various different spellings IS the most popular name in the world after all. Still though, it’d be weird for anyone to claim that all people named Muhammad are ALL interested in 9 year olds named Aisha
Lots of issues with religions aren’t unique to one religion, and there are similar memes about Christians up in this bitch daily with no accusations of racism
But Muhammad was a notorious historical figure who was known to be a pedophile. Is pointing out gary glitter was a pedophile racist against white people?
Nobody is suggesting that. It’s not talking about some random Muslim person, it’s talking about the prophet Muhammad and what he historically did.
Little is known about her childhood. A preponderance of classical sources converge on Aisha being 6 or 7 years old at the time of her marriage, and 9 at the consummation; her age has been a source of ideological friction.
If you want to commit heinous crimes, create a religion and gather millions of followers. Anyone who dares to criticize you will immediately become a “bigot”.
Or maybe it’s just the racism
Racism is when you think 53-year-old man having sex with a 9-year-old girl is fucked up.
Don’t forget religious persecution for calling it out!
What about this is racist?
I would guess the Muhammad part. Pedophiles are not exclusive to the middle east or religions in general

I think they might’ve though Muhammad was used to just refer to Muslims in a general way instead of the prophet Muhammad.

I mean that’s where the racism would come in.
<Slams door open> IT’S REMINDER TIME :DDDD
Muslim isn’t a race. Practice of Islam is not an immutable feature.
I think everyone knows what is meant by “racism” here

It’s not racist to point out a person did something wrong.
If you only do that for a specific race, that’s racist.

Well they’re WHITE. You can’t be racist against WHITE PEOPLE. it’s only racist if they’re brown.
/s if anyone thinks otherwise
Nobody is suggesting that. It’s not talking about some random Muslim person, it’s talking about the prophet Muhammad and what he historically did.

Is muhammad a race, a religious figure or a name?
(Hint, it’s not the first one)
It’s not racist to point out that one very specific person committed a horrible crime they did in fact commit
It would be racist to conclude from this that other persons of the same ethnicity are also criminal, which no one is doing here
A moral, ethical and human violation, not a crime*
At least I don’t think it was a crime at the time/place. Maybe it was… any historians around?
Where was race even brought up?..
