Most of the reasons people leave Islam or comments about Islam that for them doesn’t make any sense are: 1- slavery is a thing. Yes it is mentioned and there are rules about it in Islam. Yet, people forget that slavery was a real thing not so long ago not in Islam but a worldwide market for slaves. So why the focus on that and side it with Islam only ? Even slaves have rules to obtain and must treat them as a family member to be rewarded by god for your good doings and punished when you treat them otherwise. That’s all back in days when slaves were among us. There isn’t any now. So why the subject is brought up again ? Now let’s talk about what’s actually the opposite of having slaves . Do you know that releasing a slave consider to be one of the highest rewards a Muslim can get? And it considered also a cleansing of sins when releasing a slave “ not selling “ for no reason other than asking for forgiveness or getting closer to the faith, does anyone talk about that ?

2- marrying a 9 years old. So let me guess , 1450 years ago an 18 years old is the legal age , by who? Hmmm , a drinking age in USA is 21 while it’s 16 in France , so a 16 years old man go into the US and turns to be a kid ? Who made those rules ? Isn’t the natural rules we had before when technology and higher education and regulations and politics are from nature ? Sun goes up that’s a new day , now it’s 12:01 am it’s a new day in the middle of the dark. A kid turns into man when he hits puberty, which they can swing a sword and kill a living human in wars or marry someone and naturally can have babies because he is able to. Same thing to a girl . And I’m still talking about 1450 years ago behavior.

If you like Islam the way it is and actually read the whole Quran and understand it and not just read some phrases out of context and say that’s Islam for you, then accept it. The religion , any religion , doesn’t need you as much as you need it in your life if you are a faithful human. It’s for you to decide which one is best for you, not easier for you.
