That was actually a prophetic dream. Allah SWT told the Prophet Muhammad SAWS that his marriage to A'isha RA would happen.

Slavery is a human rights violation.

And here I thought we were over haggling about sharia and Islam in these threads.

I swear, if I hear one more discussion about Islam on this thread I WILL dissolve Parliament!!

Someone clearly missed out on Green Anarchism it seems. :3

Amin is a thing, and the IDT’s full of Jolthig and Sah’s ranting, so I don’t particularly want to go there.

If the Abrahamic God says pedophilia is acceptable even in just one instance (which considering child marriages were common back then, he did more than once) then I'm glad to believe in many gods. Shirk ftw

We see why you argued for slavery.

Then don't. And who cares what Amin's Islamic opinions are?

Who, in society, should be enfranchised? That is to say, who should be able to wield political power?

In America ( and most of the western world ), it is any adult over the age of 18 who is a citizen, not a violent criminal, or mentally handicapped. In the last two centuries of European history, enfranchisement was reserved for white men of property or noble standing. During the Medieval period of Europe, only landed nobility held enfranchisement. And in the time of the Roman Republic/Empire, only men who had served the state were enfranchised.

Personally, I think that only those who have contributed directly to the survival and prosperity of the system should have say in it's operations. How one would receive such a privilege would depend upon what they could contribute, depending upon their ability; this would mean different requirements for different individuals. For example: able bodied men might be expected to do military or emergency service. Disabled individuals might be expected to preform more public services, such as case work or educational programs. Woman might be expected to produce at least two children, or something akin to this. A couple might be able to achieve enfranchisement by adopting an orphan or taking in foster children. I believe that enfranchisement should be a privilege earned, not given.
