Sex slaves and polygamy, I don't think so. But what is more curious, or not because WinterHold is dishonest, is that he didn't address the most notorious verse in Koran about wife beating and that is 4:34
"Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand."
Where you can see that Koran tells husbands to beat their wives if they are disobedient.
And if we look what Koranic scholars say about it, like Syed Mahmud Allusi in the commentaries: "if she refuses to beautify herself for him," if she refuses sex when he asks for it, if she refuses to pray or perform ritual ablutions, and "if she goes out of the house without a valid excuse."
And this has influence on Muslims. In 2005, when Chad tried to institute a new family law that would outlaw wife beating, Muslim clerics protested that the measure was un-Islamic. https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/featu...omen-equal
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
