@Arcangelo Koran permits marriage with children:

“As for your women past the age of menstruation, in case you do not know, their waiting period (after divorce) is three months, and those (girls) who have not menstruated as well.”

People who practice Islam generally need to adopt a more pluralist, non-literalist interpretation of not just religion but of worldviews in general, which is a big ask considering how the West is not anywhere close to doing that.

For those who have grown up in the West and dislike the ideas associated with Islam, try to notice your own ethnocentric/fundamentalist interpretations when it comes to your own Western values (secularism, democracy, freedom of speech), even though you might rationalize it across developmental lines (SD also has a Western bias on many levels). You should be vary about convincing people to adopt your own worldview without understanding the limitations of your worldview.

There's a lot that could be said about it, good and bad, depending on your values.

And truly, unless you've studied Muhammad, read at least like 50% of the Quran and read some Hadiths, it's hard to generate a genuine accurate opinion about it. 

However, just from surface studying, - the Quran is quite dry and not hopeful, it's more punishment/judgmental oriented, just from reading the first Surah. It sort of denies God's connection to the material world. And Muhammad's actions are immoral in my opinion.

His experiences of God may be true, but I don't consider him a perfect human being like Muslims suggest or that his teachings are something to center my life around.

I don't even think Jesus or the Buddha were perfect human beings either. Heck even Leo isn't the most perfect human being (but no hate!)
