I feel like people who ask that have a lot of propaganda informing that question that has to be detangled first tbh, I don’t necessarily find them all that blameworthy for asking since that’s all our media tends to feed people who are too busy with the rest of their lives to really look into things further. I think for one pointing to the actual scripture encouraging non violence outside defensive measures with explicit outlines to not harm civilians or even trees is a big one. There are no

Formally outlined rules of engagement in war in the Bible to the same degree as the Quran and Hadith. Showing this and the whole letting people go if they surrender, treating POWs the same as you treat yourself, etc. all do a good job of showing Islam is pretty sensible and nonviolent outside self defense. Then saying people are not religions, people do crazy things all the time. I don’t blame Christianity for killing millions in European/American wars, so applying that same standard to Islam

Helps well intentioned people really break away from the propaganda imo. Pointing to the news cycles rn with Israel and our own country with hegseth really helps drive this point home

Yeah definitely the violence and a genocidal tendency of our country. We’ve had multiple people try shooting up or bombing my mosque since I was a kid. A lot of the rhetoric is funded by people with an interest in making Islam demonized, distorted, and acted violently upon. Evil has a tendency to hate truth, par for course

Lol so funnily enough hijab is actually better for the heat, it protects your scalp from the sun and ventilates a pocket of air above your head to be cooler. This combined with looser clothing all over your body is better for keeping a microclimate of air that pushes hot air out, the chimney effect in physics. It’s better for the cold too for obvious reasons. Just change the fabrics for the weather like you would anyway

(This is the same reason people will wear pashminas at music festivals, good way to avoid getting stuff in your hair that might tangle it too). You also only need to wear hijab if you’re around men outside of your family. So if you’re going to a women’s only event you can wear whatever

Well there are two views on Islam, one that this claim is false and that Aisha RA was 19 when they married (this is the view the scholars of my community take). The other is that she was 6 at the age of betrothal and 9-13 at the age of consummation at the point a woman in tribal societies considered an adult (a period). For this second view, no one ever even thought to criticize the prophet pbuh for it until the 20th century despite there being plenty of crazy people who hated Islam and

Made up lies to criticize him for in the 13 centuries prior to the 20th. This tells us there is a moral change by the time of industrialization that did not exist prior, and that to level such a critique is intellectually dishonest since it engages in presentism, ie applying current standards to previous times where they are not relevant

Regardless, neither view has an effect on Islamic views of permissibility in marriage. For a woman to marry in islam, she must be physically, mentally, and socially mature, consent to the marriage herself, have her guardian consent to the marriage (there must be a legitimate reason to withhold consent like doubting the morality or ability to take care of his daughter from the suitor or else he can be overruled), for it to follow the laws of the society, & be according to Islamic general standard
