Your arguments to portray Muhammed as a peaceful man are based on complete fallacy. It is a well known fact that he betrothed Asisha when she was 6 and married her when she was 9. It is in your hadith and other muslim sacred books. By saying the hadith cannot be trusted on that matter is like saying nothing else in it can be trusted. You cannot pick and choose what you want to believe. It's either you believe in the book or you don't.

Jesus was a pacifist. I don't know where you got that idea that He was anything but. Jesus thought us to forgive and to love our enemies. Muhammad on the other hand, preached vengeance and intolerance for those who don't believe in his allah.
