Let me explain something to you. There is a difference between getting drunk and drinking. If you drink 1 can of beer, okay fine, you may disagree with that, but, your most likely not drunk. Drink 2 or more, yeah, your drunk.

OK. Let me make this clear: Islam's standards on sexual consent are fair and reasonable in the context of a marital relationship, at least considering the amount of knowledge available at the time of the relevant hadiths. I have qualms with the phrasing, but it looks like at least an attempt at a reasonable solution to the fact that 1) people getting married have presumably consented to have sex with each other, and so it is reasonable to presume consent in such a case and 2) marital rape still exists.
The problem comes with the application of the same standards to slaves. Slaves have not chosen to be slaves, let alone slaves owned by a particular master.

I have, and am probably the only, one to have read your long list of links and watched your videos—ironically preached by a man wearing a suit and tie and a taqiyah, the very essence of a westernised Islam—and what I can say is that: teach-yourself-islam-online.com has left you disconnected from the actual sunnah and ummah: have you tried talking about this thing you are so passionate about with your parents, your local iman or nearest mosque and seen their reaction to speaking such nonsense?
One would have thought that the notion that humans are imperfect and liable to failure would have been impressed into your Islamic education, but you persist in thinking, and that any such practises which rely on a perfect ideal are unlikely to result in a perfect reality.

And if the companions of the Prophet himself were unable to stop this, what makes it likely that you, a person of more fallible times, can revive this successfully? What has kept the Islamic world from following shariah 'properly' this whole time if it were as simple as doing the right thing?
You don't seem to grasp this fundamental distinction between the theoretical and the practical, that something you might hope for will in fact not be as you say in reality. This is why people are so critical of your ideas of slavery, women etc., because these same words have been used to defend historically what were abominable things and were abused. This is an empirical, not theoretical observation, and so is sounder than any hadith you can ever provide. Its rather like pointing out that murder is a major sin, and therefore there won't be any murders in an Islamic society, ignoring that that there were even in the times you most idolize. As you are unfamiliar with Islamic history, I ask, why is it that Pakistan—a nation created by people with almost identical purpose to you and indeed the origin of many of your ideals—has not become a utopia since its founding?

1: It's "imaam/imam" not "iman". That's 2 different words
2: I don't have Salafi leanings
3: I never said anything would be perfect
4: I don't know a lot about Pakistan so I can't say
5: No, I haven't really talked to anybody irl about this
6: There is no western and eastern Islam
7: Can you show how I am away from the Sunnah?
8: The logical result of doing anything in Al-Islam correctly is being rightly guided, not something perverted from the religion

Even though the Sahaba and the Salaf were the best of humanity, they were exactly that, humans not angles or perfect they were prone to mistakes and error just as anyone else, the Prophet (SAWS) was perfect in morals and character but not in a physical sense he was once asked for advise regarding agriculture and the advice he gave wasn't useful and he explained it was because he wasn't an expert on the topic and he himself was imperfect in this regard.
In Islam emphasis is put on oneself, evidence for this is found in both the Quran and Hadiths in which it is said no one may intercede for another on the day of judgement, this means you alone are responsible for yourself you will not be collectively punished/judged by Allah and the day of judgement is the only day that matters, though Allah does promise the replace a group of people if they disobey him and fail him, but that is only in this life and not the day of judgement.

Murders will exist as long as there is humanity even in the most perfect and just of Islamic States this is why Allah has given us rules regarding how to deal with such people, Pakistan is irrelevant in any discussion relating to Islamic governance or values.

The tensions between Iran and the U.S. are not something new to begin with, so I'm not really that surprised with the recent events, though I hope for the better for the two nations. Personally, I'm against war because of the unnecessary damage that wars more likely to cause, and that the Middle Eastern region specifically needs some stability.
Regarding which side that I'm going to take, I won't take either the American or Iranian side.
About the plane, do you mean the Iranian passenger plane, or the U.S. drone?

Because they both present false interpretations of Islam and commit numerous crimes against humanity that is prohibited by the Holy quran and sunnah. The saudis kill women and children in Yemen, and Pakistan persecutes ahmadi muslims.
They also both have a monopoly on the Ummah.
