You can sugarcoat the reality of these practices the way you want to but what matters is how we should behave in today's society. Let Islam be a system of faith and worship. Let's not let any religion be a form of control.Slavery was haram even in the prophets time. The Quran is the reason slavery ended. Allah rewards those who free a slave. Slavery for then wasn’t also based on skin colour, anyone that wasn’t from the specific land could be captured as a slave. Even the prophets wife Maria was a beautiful Egyptian Coptic slave whom he married (and she wasn’t black) You could have sex with a captured woman, but only with their permission, you’re not allowed to rape them. I’m not making excuses for being able to have sex with captured women, but stop lying they were not “slaves” you can’t force yourself on them.
I haven’t seen one verse in the Quran that’s barbaric. Yes it says slay the enemy etc etc but that’s not barbaric when it was a time of war and Islam is the kindest to war captives and women and children.
A lot of the things that people claim are part of Islam that seems barbaric isn’t even mentioned in the Quran people claim it’s Hadith but I don’t believe that. They’re either fabricated or very weak.
