What Mohammed did and what you find in the koran is largely irrelevant because modern day muslim apologists will simply say "in the context of the era yada yada yada". Ergo you will get no traction on that issue.
You approach the situation thusly.
When debating with a mulsim ask them, "Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn marriage and sexual intercourse for anyone below the legal age of 16 (or whatever the age is in your nation)?"
I have yet to hear of one that will. This is the issue. Muslims delight in bogging down debates on islam with tedious interpretations of the Koran and it's various spinoffs. If you want to cut to the heart of the matter regarding how well islam will or will not fit in with a modern western society then simply ask a muslim to condemn before Allah and all other muslims a behaviour that the rest of us non-muslims find utterly repugnant.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any form of punishment for gays being gay or committing acts of homosexuality?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn a woman's word being worth half of a man's in court?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn taking more than one wife?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn those who do violence in the service of islam?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn the command of death for apostasy?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for a woman travelling unaccompanied?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for a woman refusing to wear so much as a burqa?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for someone choosing to consume alcohol?"
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for Jews and Christians refusing to pay the jizya?"
The list goes on and one and on.
Ask a muslim to state what their beliefs are personally in a plain and open manner, and it soon becomes apparent just how rosy a future the west has with it's new visitors in tow.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn marriage and sexual intercourse for anyone below the legal age of 16 (or whatever the age is in your nation)?"
My sister got propositioned for marriage by an old fart of 50+ when she was 15 or 16, to be her third wife. Disgusting.
In Senegal, marriage with very young girls happen more rarely, and pretty much only in rural zones. In the city there is none of that. We like to keep that shit away.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any form of punishment for gays being gay or committing acts of homosexuality?"
Indeed. I hate homosexuality but for me killing or punishing people for being gay is way outdated.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn a woman's word being worth half of a man's in court?"
I am all in favor of giving the same worth to everyone, man, woman, president, unemployed.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn taking more than one wife?"
On this issue I do not condemn it. However I am in favour of respecting the resident country's law. You can take 4 in Senegal but you can't in France.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn those who do violence in the service of islam?"
Indeed. I refere myself to the verse that says that if someone kills a innocent people it is as if he killed the whole humanity.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn the command of death for apostasy?"
Personally I think we should not kill the apostate.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for a woman travelling unaccompanied?"
I think women can be unaccompanied, but should spend some time at home with their family instead of going outside to get wasted or get foreign dick.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for a woman refusing to wear so much as a burqa?"
Burqa is not a islamic tradition. Islam does not say anywhere women have to wear a burqa. That is only a traditionnal piece of cloth. If you talk about the hidjab however, then I don't care at all. In Senegal women can choose to wear it or not (Chic women, and mature women especially wear more usually a "musoor", not a veil but something like this)
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for someone choosing to consume alcohol?"
I think alcohol should not be consumed in public in very religious countries. If you find out someone is consuming it, for me a public shame at most should be given.
"Before Allah and all other muslims will you condemn any punishment for Jews and Christians refusing to pay the jizya?"
For all I know, in my country of origin (Senegal) we have approximatively 4% of chirstians for 95% muslims and there isn't a single religion issue. We give them gifts and meat when it's an AID, and they give us gifts and ngalakh, some potion made of peanut butter when it's Easter.
Did I pass your test?
I often see people associating people of western african countries of muslim majority with the exact behaviour that happens with people of maghreb origin. Give me a fucking break.
The thing is more like: the more close to Arab and Middle East your culture is, the more you run the risk to behave like them. Have some love (or at least, consideration) for people closer to Sufi tradition (like my country
