Answer the question of non muslim

Assalamualikum yesterday a nonmuslim said some thing can u please help me answer him following is what he said (I know what it´s like to hate Islam. It´s the bad public relations. When a lot of people think of Islam they think of the mistreaters of women and little girls, and murderers, and all the people who celebrated in the streets after 9-11, the people who almost hung that women for naming a teddy bear Mohammad, or a prophet who had a nine year old wife, or simply the fact that Islams main purpose is world domination by any means necessary. The Imams and Mullahs that get all the media attention are the ones who say ridiculous and hateful things or issue death warrants on anyone who disagrees with them. When you try to look into the Qu´ran 80% of what you find on the computer in the west, makes Islam look very evil. People are afraid of Islam, and because of what is written and what has been done in the name of Islam in the last (800?) years, they have a reason. Even the Imam that wants to build the"community center" two blocks from ground zero has said he wants shariah law in the United States. Heaven forbid. I don´t hate Islam anymore. I despise theocracies, I despise Shariah law, I despise the mistreatment of women. I despise cd blooded murder that calls itself justice. Please do your best to convince those of us who have been exposed that this is not real Islam)so please help me convince him. jazakAllah

Dear Brother / Sister,

We need to write a book in order to answer those claims. We will write a verse or hadith for each claim and explain the issue. We think it will be enough for those who want to understand it.  

It is complete nonsense to say that the social relations of Muslims are weak. 

Allah states the following in the Quran:

"Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him: and do good― to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near neighbors who are strangers, the Companion by your side, the way-farer (ye meet) and what your right hands possess: for Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious. " (an-Nisa, 4/36).

Islam does its best to strengthen the bonds of blood relation; however, hypocrites and the members of the destructive movement of today who carry out the duties of hypocrites do their best to sever the bonds of blood relation. This verse indicates it as follows: "Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin?" (Muhammad, 47/22)

Hazrat Prophet said, "Jibril (pbuh) always advised me to treat neighbors well. Due to his continuous advice, I thought neighbors would be inheritors to each other." (Bukhari, Adab, 28; Muslim, Birr wa Sila, 140: 141; Tirmidhi, Birr, 28; Ibn Majah, Adab, 4).

When Hazrat Prophet married Hazrat Aisha, she was 17 or 18 years old, not 9. There are references regarding it.

Those who wrong and oppress people and claim that they do it on behalf of Islam, but what they do does not comply with Islam. Islam is against all kinds of oppression and it does not force anybody to accept Islam.

The fact that members of all religions practiced their religions freely under the rule of the Ottoman State, which represented Islamic world for about 700 years, is the greatest proof of it.
