I need some explanation on the whole sex cult thing?

Hey everyone,

I'm 17 years old, and I've recently started questioning my faith. My family isn't that strict about Islam, but as I explore different perspectives, I keep coming across people calling Islam a "pedophilic sex cult." I find this claim shocking, and I want to understand where it comes from.

Is this just an exaggeration used by critics, or is there historical/religious context that supports this view? If you've left Islam, did this play a role in your decision? I’m still processing a lot, so I’d really appreciate honest, well-explained answers.

Thanks in advance!
