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.
The Quran forbids divorcing your wife while she's actually menstruating. It has nothing to do with her being too young to menstruate. The Quran is no more hostile to unbelievers than the OT. It's difficult to estimate the number of Quranists so there's not much hard information there, though the number of Quranist organizations is increasing. What's your record on accurately predicting long-term trends in religions?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
