I find all these comments about this being testimony of an evil koran and unpeaceful islam highly amusing. Let's see what God recommends in the bible shall we:

"If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silvers, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) Hmmm... This seems so much better than in islam.

Yes, much of Islamic law comes from the Old Testament. Islam is basically a cult of personality spin-off. That's why it's called an Abrahamic religion.

And it would not be surprising if Jews actually lived by these laws thousands of years ago. Considering how brutal most of the world was at that time, it wouldn't be unusual.

But modern day Jews do not live this way. Modern day Muslims do.
