The koran wasn't based off of hadiths, the koran is God's words according to islam, I'm not a scholar but I can tell you that for sure

Yeah, the Koran is God's words, but certain Hadiths are God's words too. Some Hadiths are basically just God's words used in a story, so we can see how it applies to certain things. Like I said before, it's mostly used just to confirm what's already in the Koran: meaning God's words.

But Hadiths are where the religion goes nuts in my opinion. There are so many that are not even misinterperted as much as just completely abused.

I agree with you there, but certain Hadiths make sense to me because it highlights certain parts of the Koran.
This is why Hadiths start with things like: The Prophet Mohammed's reply to that was - "As God said.... " (a few lines from a verse in the Koran.)
But I mean, think about how far back this was. Fresh gossip changes by the end of the day, it's like that game "broken telephone" or whatever you call it, so of course by now it's extremely distorted, this is why for the Sunnis the Koran is our final authority. The Shiites claim that a lot of things happened after the Prophet's death and were more significant, which I just can't agree with.
I'd call Wahabists psychopaths and misguided, because they keep saying that women are basically an embarrassment to society. They should wash dishes and be yelled at for more sex or food. So we're trying to keep the Wahabists out, but it's not working, they already have their own mosque where they mislead other kids into believing that this is the right way for a Muslim to think. Islam has a LOT of respect for women, it's like a certain Hadith that said (rough translation, it sounds better and more poetic in Arabic) -
A man is walking and stuff and he spots the prophet, and asks, "Who is your best friend?" and the prophet goes, "My mother, my mother, my mother, and then my father." This alone should clear up a few things about gender. I'm sure you know that in the Koran it states, and more than once, that Paradise is under the feet of mothers.
