(The Ottoman Empire demanded the veils to discourage bedouin women from riding into battle with their men and thereby halve the opposition).

The Prophet married, and was bankrolled, by his boss (they had cougars then too).

This presumably wasnt Aisha?? Married at 6 and the marraige consumated when she was 9? I know I know its such an obvious criticism of Mohammed its a cliche but even so it bears mentioning.
