The Quran allows you to divorce your wife after three months if she has not yet started menstruating. That means that little girls are fair game even without the Hadith. It makes sense that a pedophile would include such a rule.
Also, The Quran is so full of xenophobic hatred of the unbeliever that it makes Mein Kampf look like the care bears. A Quran only approach is a marginal improvement at best but it's never going to happen anyway.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
