a lot of meme level stuff that is going around on the net about Islam or Muslims is just that, bullshit memes.
and a lot of actual text that are part of islamic history kept by muslim scholars are just straight lies, which muslim scholar know that are false but keep them for record keeping. like a lot of hadiths from prophet are fabricated. for example after death of prophet some dude wanted to sell his onions and he paid a mullah (imam in mosque) some money to say that prophet said that whoever eats these kinds of onions get rewarded in afterlife. you know… fake news.
I am a (not a great) muslim from iran. the first time I heard about supposed 72 virgins was a stand up comedy from late comedian/actor Robin Williams that made fun of it.
and this marriage of mohammed to a small girl is not corroborate in any text that is not fake. for example in one text the girl sister age IS mentioned and then it is written that her sister (the girl) joined islam. but is she was 9 (not even 6 mentioned here) she should either not be born at that time or in her mothers womb.
the Revayats (saying of companions of prophets) point to her being either 19 or 17.
having said all of this, at that time marriage was done very early age (though Muhammad first wife was 40). for example one jewish tribe wanted to make a partnership with the muhammed so they send people over to offer a jewish woman for marriage. she was a widow so she was married before that event. twice. to jewish men. that jewish woman was 8 years old. mohammed didnt accept it.
I read somewhere that in history of England you see the first written record for enforcement of marriage age as follow. marriage : 7 years old. inheritance from husband in case of his death: 11 ( I think)
I don’t remember where I read that.
a bit late to the party but I was is the same boat as you so here it goes:
I have not found an option to hide them without blocking but if your issue is mainly languages that you don’t speak, in lemmy setting you can select to show only stuff that are in languages you select.
also you can deselect “undetermined” option for language to not get non-selected language for post that don’t set their languages.
