You can't say that! Muhammad married a 8 year old girl and took children as slaves. This makes all of what islamists do today perfectly legal and acceptable. Disagree and they may kill you. Unless you are female in which case you deserve to be a.slave by marriage or as property. The koran says so.

But, but, but but! The Quran is software for people. If you are a muslim you must literally follow every verse just like a computer follows every instruction without question. You really don't understand how religion works.

Might as well drop the entire religion, then. I don't see what's so appealing about cherrypicking and rationalizing everything.

Where is this majority, and why are they not saying that what is written in Koran should not be taken literally? Oh that's fucking right, those that would say that are murdered almost instantly. But I guess there could be a silent "complicit" majority...

Actually, this is the heart of the problem. A large number of them sincerely believe that this is the case. They are mentally stuck in the medieval age. You can see them walking around the streets with their hair covered proudly broadcasting to the world their perceptive of how things should be.
It may be time to declare the lot of them mentally incompetent.
