Al-Fawzān has reportedly stated that Islamic law (Sharia) does not set a specific minimum age for marriage of girls, even prepubescent girls.
He is quoted as saying it is permissible for fathers to marry off their daughters even while they’re infants (i.e. unable to speak, fully helpless) — “in the cradle.”
He reportedly cites Quran 65:4 as one of the evidences, because that verse discusses women “who have not yet menstruated.” He uses that as part of his argument that Sharia addresses cases of females who have not reached puberty.
He has reportedly opposed government legislation or proposals to impose a fixed minimum age for marriage, saying that doing so would be legislating in an area where Allah has already set rules in Sharia, and that people should not legislate over what the divine law has not forbidden.

Your point isn’t necessarily wrong but it is kind of intellectually dishonest

There are many different interpretations when it comes to the Quran/Hadith. Some are more literalist while others are more lax

Most Muslims, like anyone else, would be horrified at the idea of marrying a little girl to an old man. it’s certainly not something most people support

similarly most Muslims are not Saudis, nor are they salafis, so you’re kinda preaching to a minority here
 
poor daughter
 
Meanwhile a Christian will marry a woman with 3 black baby daddies and convince himself he’s muh good guy!

Literalist is the truth of Islam. Islam is supportive of grown men with prepubescent girls and also of terrorism. Muslims against this are like Christians who support LGBT.

Most Sunni oulemas say marriage with little girls is legal
If you disagree with them you become kafir
