      I would guess the Muhammad part. Pedophiles are not exclusive to the middle east or religions in general

        I’m genuinely curious; given the historical basis upon which this spicy meme is founded, why would it be racist? Nobody is saying anything about race or religion, it’s specifically calling out one man, revered by billions, who married a child.

          I think they might’ve though Muhammad was used to just refer to Muslims in a general way instead of the prophet Muhammad.

            Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well. “Muhammad” in it’s various different spellings IS the most popular name in the world after all. Still though, it’d be weird for anyone to claim that all people named Muhammad are ALL interested in 9 year olds named Aisha
