Apparently the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, was something of a sexual superman鈥攊ndeed, possessing the sexual appetite and potency of 4,000 mortal men.
According to Islam鈥檚 most trusted and traditional sources, the story is as follows: Muhammad used to visit and have sex with his nine wives in a single hour (other accounts indicate 11 wives in a single hour).聽 This averages to about six minutes per wife (not counting traveling time from tent to tent).聽 When one of Muhammad鈥檚 companions wondered at the prophet鈥檚 superhuman feats of libido and speed, another companion, the famous Anas, responded that the prophet had the potency of 40 men.
This account was deemed authentic enough to include in Sahih Bukhari鈥攖he most canonical hadith collection, second in authority only to the Quran itself鈥攎eaning that mainstream Islam accepts it as fact.
But alas, the matter doesn鈥檛 just end there.
Another, more fabulous, account says that Muhammad had the strength of 40 鈥渉eavenly men鈥濃攅ach of whom are said to have the strength of 100 mortal men.聽 Strength for what, exactly?聽 In the words of Islam鈥檚 prophet, 鈥渁 [heavenly] man will be given the strength of a hundred men to eat, drink, feel desire [i.e., libido], and have sexual intercourse.鈥
Thus, according to Islam, when he was alive on earth, Muhammad had the sexual lust and potency of 40 鈥渉eavenly men,鈥 which is equivalent to 4,000 mortal men.
Lest the reader think all this a joke (or a 鈥hoax鈥), here is a video of popular Muslim preacher Sheikh Mahmoud al-Misri confirming all the above. After declaring that Muhammad had the sexual strength of 4,000 men, he assured his audience that this is not just some rumor, but was 鈥渧erified through scientific research.鈥 He then recounted the above narrative鈥攖hat Muhammad used to copulate with his nine wives in one hour and that he had the strength of 40 鈥渉eavenly men.鈥
He even quoted from yet another authoritative Islamic text鈥攖elling his audience to 鈥渃ommit this reference to memory, so you can recall it when people ask for proof.鈥澛 According to the highly esteemed Fath al-Bari, compiled by the Muslim scholar Ibn Hajar, 鈥渂ased on these calculations [40 heavenly men x 100 mortal men], our prophet Muhammad鈥攑rayers and blessings upon him鈥攈ad the strength of 4,000 men.鈥
Finally, Sheikh Mahmoud made his grand point: despite Muhammad鈥檚 sexual prowess鈥斺渨hich required 4,000 mortal wives鈥濃攈e was married to only one woman for 15 years, Khadija, his elderly wife and patroness.
This approach鈥攂oasting about the prophet鈥檚 lasciviousness, only to try to rationalize it into some magnanimous point鈥攊s common among Islam鈥檚 clerics.聽 For example, discussing pedophilia in Islam, another TV cleric marveled at Muhammad鈥檚 鈥減atience鈥 with his nine-year-old child bride Aisha:
We know that Asia鈥檚 mother went to take her down from the swing that she was playing on to fix her hair and prepare her for the prophet so he could enter her [have sex with her]鈥攁nd she did that all on the same day. So you see, she was playing with her fellow playmates even though her day of consummation was that very same day鈥攁nd all that they did was to fix her up for the prophet so he could have sex with her. Now what do we see when the prophet married Aisha? Did he go to her and say 鈥淥kay that鈥檚 it, you鈥檙e married, you鈥檙e now a grown up, you鈥檙e supposed to be mature, you need to do this and that; you need to forget about your toys and your little friends; you are now a wife of a man, you have to see to my needs鈥 and that鈥檚 it? No. The prophet allowed her to continue playing with her toy dolls鈥攊ndeed, the prophet even sometimes gave her such things to play with.
Three observations:
- What other religion portrays its head figure and prophet in such a manner?聽 What do these accounts of Muhammad鈥攈aving sex with several women in a single hour, having sex with a nine-year-old鈥攕ay about the founder and role model of Islam?聽 What does a sexual paradise鈥攚here men will be granted 100 times the power and pleasure for life鈥檚 most carnal pursuits, food, drink, and sex鈥攊ndicate?聽 Understanding this great divide between Islam and other religions is key to understanding why the former is at conflict with the rest of the world (hint: it鈥檚 not because of land, politics, or grievances).
- With such obsessions and priorities, is it any wonder that countless stories concerning sex-slavery, female abduction, and rape鈥especially for infidel non-Muslims鈥攆lood the (non-mainstream) media?
- Muslims are obligated to accept such accounts about their prophet.聽 These stories concerning Muhammad鈥檚 superhuman sexuality are contained in Sahih Bukhari, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, and Fath al-Bari鈥攁ll mainstays of Islamic teachings.聽 To cast doubt on one of the accounts contained in them is to cast doubt on the entire collections鈥攁nd hence, to cast doubt on Islam.聽 This is why the guardians of Allah鈥檚 religion insist all these accounts be accepted without question, and why Muslims are compelled to uphold their prophet鈥檚 teachings, from 鈥adult breastfeeding鈥 to drinking camel urine.
Incidentally, any Muslim offended by all this should consider: Who is truly responsible for defaming the prophet of Islam鈥攑eople like me, for translating and sharing the texts of Islam and the teachings of its clerics, or the texts and clerics of Islam themselves?
