I missed this gem. This myth has long been spread by those who wish to besmirch Islam. However investigation of Islam, Muhammad and 7th century Arab society will soon dispel this slur. You see intercourse with the pre-pubecent was frowned upon as it is now; marriage was not. However like in most many past societies intercourse with girls and boys who had progressed to the point of pubtery was not frowned upon. This is why Shakespears Juliet would have been only a very young girl, in her early teens at most.
Muhammad married Ayesha when she was aged six. This was not a marriage of attraction, but a rather normal marriage or arrangement. Muhammad waited at least four years before consummating the marriage; this is almost certainly to wait for Ayesha to reach an agre where she was capable of child birth. So in short Muhammad was not a child molester and was acting in a manner which was completely appropriate for the period in which he lived.
Indeed the Christian virgin Mary, who having left the temple at 12-14 would have been immediately married off by her family as was typical. While the bible does not tell us her age when god supposedly impregnated her, we do know she was impergnated before marriage, which gives us a reasonable idea of how old she was. Does that make, in a rather odd way, 'god a paedophile?
