The age of Aisha
The Prophet married a child. Bukhari records that Aisha was six at the contract and nine when the marriage was consummated.
Moral Scriptural
Dhimmi status and jizya
Non-Muslims under Islamic rule were second-class subjects, taxed for their religion and legally humiliated.
“Qur'an 4:34 says a man may beat his wife if she does not do what he wants. That is horrible.”
Take the reaction seriously first. Anyone who reads a popular English rendering of this verse and feels revulsion is reading it the way it…
Qur’an 4:34 in context
Qur'an 4:34 gives a husband permission to beat his wife when she does not do what he wants.
Captives and slavery
Islam legalised slavery and permitted the keeping of captives, which shows that it is a moral system rooted in a barbaric age.
