    Is righteousness the calling for the killing of ex-muslims and the enslavement of other people? Is self control the marriage of very young women to old men? Is maturity beating your wife and controlling every facet of her public life and dress? These things are not righteousness, self control, or maturity.

      Of course not, but the Qur’an only talks about killing in the background of a just war (and even then it says it’s better to capture them and then release them if possible, in a time where Rome just came around and raped, murdered and pillaged without even the need for narratives, lol), makes no mention of old men marrying children (???) nor beating your wife! You’re confusing the culture around the Qur’an made by horny and power hungry men (nothing new there, lol). Jesus never talked about pretty much everything done in his name for about 2000 years by Rome, the church and Western powers, yet his message remains true regardless, right?

        Killing in the background of a just war

        Surah 4 verses 89-90

        Old men marrying children

        Your “prophet” married a six year old at the age of about 53. The quaran is vague on “marrying age” mentioned in scripture but the actions of believers shows the number is low.

        nor beating your wife

        Quaran 4 verse 34

        The teachings and actions of Jesus are pure, the institutions failed him. The teachings and actions of Muhammed are flawed, and the institutions that follow him are worse.
