A refutation of the e-book ''The Islamophobe's Glass House: Refuting the Claim that Prophet Muhammad was a Pedophile'' by Ibn al-Hashimi. In his introduction titled "The Glass House", the author reveals that the first way he is going to prove Muhammad was not a pedophile is by applying the logical fallacy of ''ad hominem tu quoque''. His first claim is that Jewish law permits a man to marry a girl as young as three years of age, and Christian law permits a man to marry a girl as young as seven years of age. He also brings up Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joseph. Relying on 2nd century AD non-canonical (not considered to be Christian scripture) writings, the author attempts to parallel Joseph's actions with those of Muhammad. Both claims are false, and the author fails to prove that the label of "pedophile" is inaccurate for a 54-year-old man who has sexual intercourse with a nine-year-old girl. | A refutation of the e-book ''The Islamophobe's Glass House: Refuting the Claim that Prophet Muhammad was a Pedophile'' by Ibn al-Hashimi.
