Pada titik di masa sekarang inilah argumen-argumen yang berasal dari aliran Ahmadiyya pada masa 1920an dan 1930an akhirnya menjadi cukup populer di beberapa kalangan muslim kebanyakan. Walaupun begitu, popularitas ini tampaknya hanya terbatas sebagai artikel atau argumen di Internet. Jelas ini adalah reaksi refleks akibat maraknya kritik-kritik di Internet atas kehidupan Muhamad, dan bukan sebagai perubahan atas apa yang diyakini muslim.

In July 2005, Shaykh [[Dr.]] [[Gibril Haddad|Gibril Fouad Haddad]] responded to Moiz Amjad's polemics with, "Our Mother A'isha's Age At The Time Of Her Marriage to The Prophet", published at SunniPath.com.<ref>Shaykh Gibril F Haddad - [http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=7&ID=4604&CATE=1 <!-- Backup links: [http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http%3A%2F%2Fqa.sunnipath.com%2Fissue_view.asp%3FHD%3D7%26ID%3D4604%26CATE%3D1&date=2011-05-05] [{{Reference archive|1=http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?2925-Our-Mother-Aisha-s-Age-at-the-Time-of-Her-Marriage-to-the-Prophet-saw|2=2011-05-04}} ]-->Our Mother A'isha's Age At The Time Of Her Marriage to The Prophet] - Sunni Path, Question ID:4604, July 3, 2005</ref> Including many facts that are easily verifiable for those who have access to the hadith and sira literature, he  dismantled the lies and distortions being spread by apologists. For example, he exposed the fact that many of the arguments were based solely on faulty assumptions taken from hadiths completely unrelated to Aisha's age, or were misrepresenting the sources that were being cited (i.e. they actually supported the fact that Aisha was 9). To this day, his scholarly reply remains unanswered by Moiz Amjad. Haddad, who was listed amongst the inaugural "500 most influential Muslims in the world",<ref name="The 500">Edited by Prof. John Esposito and Prof. Ibrahim Kalin - [http://thebook.org/books_pdf/500Muslims_2009.pdf The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World (P. 94)] - The royal islamic strategic studies centre, 2009</ref> is a Muslim scholar and muhaddith (hadith expert)<ref name="The 500"></ref> who is taken very seriously by mainstream Muslims. He is also a vocal critic of [[Salaf|Salafi]] fundamentalism.<ref>Stephen Schwartz - [http://www.islamdaily.org/en/wahabism/2553.wahhabis-in-america.htm/ Wahhabis in America] - Islam Daily, February 26, 2005</ref>  
Pada Juli 2005, Sheik [[Dr.]] [[Gibril Haddad|Gibril Fouad Haddad]] menjawab polemik Moiz Amjad melalui artikel, "Our Mother A'isha's Age At The Time Of Her Marriage to The Prophet", published at SunniPath.com.<ref>Shaykh Gibril F Haddad - [http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=7&ID=4604&CATE=1 <!-- Backup links: [http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http%3A%2F%2Fqa.sunnipath.com%2Fissue_view.asp%3FHD%3D7%26ID%3D4604%26CATE%3D1&date=2011-05-05] [{{Reference archive|1=http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showthread.php?2925-Our-Mother-Aisha-s-Age-at-the-Time-of-Her-Marriage-to-the-Prophet-saw|2=2011-05-04}} ]-->Our Mother A'isha's Age At The Time Of Her Marriage to The Prophet] - Sunni Path, Question ID:4604, July 3, 2005</ref> Dengan mencantumkan banyak fakta yang dengan mudah bisa diperiksa oleh mereka yang memiliki hadist atau literatur sirah,  
Sheik Haddad menelanjangi penipuan dan pengaburan yang disebarkan oleh para apologis. Sebagai contoh, Sheik Haddad menunjukkan fakta bahwa banyak argumen tersebut yang secara keliru didasarkan kepada asumsi yang salah atas hadist yang sama sekali tidak berhubungan dengan umur Aisha, atau kesalahan dalam merepresentasikan sumber-sumber yang dikutip. (i.e. sumber-sumber ini malah mendukung fakta bahwa umur Aisha adalah 9 tahun saat berhubungan intim dengan Muhamad). Hingga hari ini, jawaban ilmiah Sheik Haddad tetap belum disanggah oleh Moiz Amjad. Haddad, adalah salah satu orang yang telah dicantumkan dengan resmi ke dalam "500 muslim paling berpengaruh di dunia",<ref name="The 500">Edited by Prof. John Esposito and Prof. Ibrahim Kalin - [http://thebook.org/books_pdf/500Muslims_2009.pdf The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World (P. 94)] - The royal islamic strategic studies centre, 2009</ref> is a Muslim scholar and muhaddith (hadith expert)<ref name="The 500"></ref> who is taken very seriously by mainstream Muslims.
