Sex Slavery
edit"Slavery is a part of Islam...(those who argue that slavery is abolished are) ignorant, not scholars. They are merely writers. Whoever says such things is an infidel.
Although Islamic views on concubinage have varied, there are several verses in the Quran and several hadiths that permit Muslim men to own what is called "right hand possession" (ملك اليمين) that are always invoked in sexual context in the Quran and hadiths, all of which make it clear that it is about sex slavery. This is permitted in the case Muslims wage war on Infidels.[1][2]
Scholarly opinions:
وملك اليمين: هم الأرقاء المملوكون لِمن ملكهم عبيداً، ذكوراً أو إناثاً.
والمقصود بقوله (أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ): النساء مِن الرقيق، وهنّ الإماء، إذ يحقّ لمالكهنّ أن يطأهنّ مِن غير عقد زواج، ولا شهود، ولا مهر، فهنّ لسن أزواجاً، فإذا جامعهن سُمّيْنَ (سراري) جمع: سُرّيـة. وقد انتهى الرق تقريباً في عصرنا هذا، فلم يعد هناك عبيد ولا إماء لأسباب معروفة، وهذا لا يعني إبطال أحكام الرق إذا وجدت أسبابه، كالجهاد بين المسلمين والكفار، فإن نساء الكفار المحاربين سبايا تنطبق عليهن أحكام الرق، وملك اليمين، وإن أبطلته قوانين أهل الأرض. وما لم توجد هذه الأسباب الشرعية، فالأصل أن الناس أحرار.
And right hand posession: They are the slaves owned by those who owned them as slaves, male or female. And what is meant by his saying (or what their right hands possess): Women among the slaves, and they are slave girls, as their owner has the right to have intercourse with them without a marriage contract, no witnesses, or a dowry, so they are not husbands, so if they are fat (secrets), plural: secret.Slavery has almost ended in our time, as there are no longer slaves or female slaves for known reasons, and this does not mean that the provisions of slavery are invalidated if there are reasons for it, such as jihad between Muslims and infidels. . Unless these legitimate reasons exist, the principle is that people are free.

In Quran:
- "And those who guard their chastity, Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed"[Quran 70:29-30]
- "Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess"[Quran 4:24]
In Hadiths:
- A hadith attributed to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reports:[3]
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih and have included it in Sahih Muslim.

Application by ISIS/Taliban/ETC:
Pedophilia
editThe Quran defines an idda (period after divorce) for "those who did not menstruate" (Arabic: اللائي لم يحضن)[4] without defining a minimum age for marriage, while an authentic/sahih hadith describes Mohammed's marriage to Ayesha when she was six years old whilst saying he entered (i.e. had intercourse) with her while she was nine. [5]
- "And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair."[Quran 65:4]
- A hadith reports:[6]
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih and have included it in Sahih Bukhari.
Animal Abuse
editMohammed commanded the death of Black Dogs:[7][8]
- A hadith attributed to Abdullah ibn Mughaffal reports:[9]
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih (Al-Albani) and have included it in Sunan Abi Dawud.
- A hadith attributed to Abdullah ibn Masud reports:[10]
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih and have included it in Sahih Muslim.
Religious freedom
editWhile there are few Meccan (and abrogated) verses taken out of context that Muslims use to claim that Islam allows religious freedom, this is not true at all.
In many Islamic countries like Iran and Afghanistan the death penalty will be applied, in other countries you could get imprisoned (as a replacement for the death penalty) and at least prosecuted on the basis of "blasphemy" in the most open minded Islamic countries (such as Bahrain).

It is often referred to as the first bill of human rights as it appears to permit freedom of worship throughout the Persian Empire and to allow deported people to return to their homelands.
