      I would guess the Muhammad part. Pedophiles are not exclusive to the middle east or religions in general

        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.

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

            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

              I mean that’s where the racism would come in.

                  I think everyone knows what is meant by “racism” here

        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

        It’s not racist to point out a person did something wrong.

        If you only do that for a specific race, that’s racist.

        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?

          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.

        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.
