if memory serves, the Quran contains an explicit passage about Muhammad having sex with a nine year old.
That's not in the Qur'an, and certainly nothing explicit like that. Muhammad did marry Aisha when she was roughly 6 years old, and fucked her no later than when she ~9 years old.
In Islam there is the Qur'an. That is the written text that is most like the Bible in the terms of being a core text.
Then there are the "hadith." These are stories about Muhammad, the time when he lived, and his wives and companions. These are relayed from person to person (the "chain" of the hadith) and then they're graded by trustworthiness. For instance, they are roughly in this form: "John said that Fred said that Bob said Henry said that Muhammad used to cut his toenails before every battle." There are basically no disagreements amongst Muslims over the Qur'an, but there are huge disagreements over hadith.
Hadith can also be nasty. They can cover bathroom habits, jacking off, if Muhammad fucked his wives while they were on their periods, how to cut your beard, etc., in addition to more religious content.
I think you're probably thinking of something in the hadith.
Here's an example of a hadith that involves sex, Muhammad, and Aisha:
I asked `Aisha about the clothes soiled with semen. She replied, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he would go for the prayer while water spots were still visible. "
that's probably what I was thinking of. I'm no scholar of Islam, it's just something that I've heard mentioned during a discussion on Islamic texts. naturally I assumed it was the quran, but this seems more likely.
if memory serves, the Quran contains an explicit passage about Muhammad having sex with a nine year old. they would defend it with their lives.
I agree with your general point, but practically speaking, are there really any copies of the Quran in school libraries in Texas?
I'm making an assumption based on how liberal teachers are.
Those terms are acceptable.../s

No, that is only in hadeeth.
