My point is that (both strands, Hebraic and Hellenic, of) our own culture have a history of treating captured enemy women in exactly the same way as the Muslim religion prescribes. Please note that I did point out that this is in the past, unlike (some interpretations of) the Muslim religion, which encourage such action today.

The main difference is that our civilisation has "evolved" beyond that. Western civilisation is marked by the very fact that we adapt to changing conditions and adopt social change. No one in the West, except for a small religiously fanatical minority take religion seriously. Though we are quite tolerant of such Superstitious practices (with the exception of anti-religious liberals.)

The Muslim world on the other hand, never had a "reformation" and never secularized. They are still stuck in the 7th century having ossified intelectually and culturally.

Even you admit that the Koran does proscribe such behavior even in our days. And, there are many instances in which the Islamics act in truly barbaric fashion in obedience to their Koran. Just what are you arguing here?

Are you saying that we should be understanding of these poor misguided souls who act less than beasts? Or, should we defend our nation and our people against a barbaric people? Should we, on one hand, kill those who seek to destroy us and embrace those who are not actively trying to kill us, but who instead support the killers?

You do not yet have a coherrent point.
