Debate Title - Traditionalism vs. Modernism: Five Key Issues

1. Did the Quran/Muhammad ﷺ endorse patriarchal laws regarding marriage, kinship, and gender roles (i.e., laws which confer greater power and authority on males)? Or should such laws be considered un-Islamic (or misogynist) by Muslims?

2. Did the Quran/Muhammad ﷺ endorse legal restrictions on consensual sexual behavior? Or should such legal restrictions be considered un-Islamic by Muslims?

3. Did the Quran/Muhammad ﷺ endorse legal restrictions on freedom of religious belief and worship? Or should such laws be considered un-Islamic by Muslims?

4. Did the Quran/Muhammad ﷺ endorse imperial warfare/conquest? Or should such warfare/conquest be considered un-Islamic by Muslims?

5. Did the Quran/Muhammad ﷺ endorse slavery (including slavery which permits masters to have sex with female slaves)? Or should slavery be considered un-Islamic by Muslims?
