That's the thing about the abrahamics that really gets my goat. When belief in magic book leads you to either deny or fail to recognize your own basic human decency (let alone the basic decency of others)....there's a problem with magic book. The culture that wrote the quran wasn't quite as brutish as other cultures of the time in regards to the context of this thread..but they were certainly no better than their own times version of a monticello slaver. Seeing a broad range of things we consider unacceptable today as..unfortunate..distasteful, even...but ultimately permissible and sanctioned by divinity.
Case in point. Puberty..really? That's the qurans defense? So..sometime between 7 and 13......a 40 year old man could marry a girl..with her consent? You don;t get to say things like this often...but at least the slave was a captive held against her will.... I can't imagine how fucked up a society would have to be to regularly produce 7-13 year old girls who dreamed of marrying their kindly old uncle....?
