Because people use just about everything for their own personal gain. Islam is about controlling people into thinking that all women are inferior to men. I wouldn’t waist my time on that BS religion.

The same way Christianity shrugs off the way Yahweh mentions other gods in his Court or the references to His wife, the Queen of Heaven, or the fun story of angels taking mortal wives and having children, or the way Yahweh has to "repent of the sin He was about to commit" several times in the OT.

Every religion happily focuses in on the verses that benefit and ignore those that make them uncomfortable.

every religions have sexist male writers who write things based on what they love to read; especially when it comes to marriage and family and "What Women Must Do". everything genuine must always have its fraud version edited by selfish people who claim themselves "religious", thinking they’re God gifted though they not. especially if religious and philosophical writing field always seem to be conquered by men, where you can’t expect that all of them are sinless angels; so why must quickly assume that the bits of the source you have in hands are everything and "only right thing"?

since we have brains, the use of it is to keep on thinking and searching. can’t expect the red candy look to be a red candy, for it could just be a plastic.

if few atheists wrote "lets kill all the agnostic people", should i take it all and confirmed, "oh this is all what atheism is about?"

There are lots of things that Muslims will shrug off about their own religion, because they dont know anything about it, and if you press them on the issue they become enraged because they do not wanna talk against mohammed or the Hadith.

Its a no win situation!

There is no such thing is a moon god. Allah is God in Arabic. It is a name of God. Daughters?? where do people find this stuff. This is totally un-Islamic. Islam teaches that God is One without a parnter and He is the Creator of everything and He is the One Who manages the creation. Everything is under His Will, Power, and Knowledge. He is not a man, body, soul, spirit, or any other creature because had He been one of those things He would not be God. God is unlike the creations in any way whatsoever. He exists eternally and everlastingly (No beginning no end) and He exists without a place. Because what exists in a place has to have a form of some sort, direction, a body and that is not applicable to be an attribute of God, the Creator. God is the only One without a beginning. And when we say "He" it does not mean male gender but rather it is just a figure of speech. So God is unlike what we imagine because what we imagine has a beginning and end and God is not like that.

Every painting has to have a painter, every book has to have a writer, and every building has to have a builder. So this logic applies to say that this world has to have a maker and the Maker of this world is unlike His creations. The one who made the building is not a building, the one who made the book is not a book. God is attributed with the attributes of perfection that befit Him. He is clear from all imperfections like ignorance, time, place, physical created attributes, weakness, etc…the one who needs something is imperfect and the imperfect does not deserve to be worshipped.

This is what Islam teaches.

Just like Islam shrugs off the verses about killing Christians and Jews
