According to Egyptian cleric, Sheik Abdallah Kamal, Muhammad’s marriage to the six-year old Aisha was ok because girls mature much faster in warmer climates. In this alternate reality, Muhammad’s young bride reach womanhood at the age of eight, which is one year prior to when Muhammad consummated the marriage.

Kamal said the following during a program that aired on Safa TV.

Via MEMRI:

In warm places, girls reach puberty at a very early age – generally at the age of 8 years. In cold places, girls’ puberty is delayed until the age of 21 years – as is the case in some cold countries.

If this is true, Al Gore has been trying to stop a cure for pedophilia with his anti-global warming crusade and should be arrested.
