Though most Muslims won't deny the obvious, there are a few that try to keep their heads stuffed in the sand.

Mohammed's life was characterized as one of murder, pillage, and plunder through bloody imperialistic conquest, conquering almost the whole known world during the First Islamic Jihad, being stopped in France by Charles "the hammer" Martel in the battle of Tours.
His early criminal enterprise beginning with caravan plundering and assigning the murder of poets that spoke against him (according to the hadith).

Indeed an entire chapter (8) of the Quran is devoted to the spoils of that imperialistic murderous conquest "AL-ANFAL (SPOILS OF WAR, BOOTY)"

It is in that chapter that Mohammed details that 1/5 of the booty is to go to himself and Allah. Interestingly Allah doesn't seem to have ever collected his share!


In regard to rape, you be the judge:

"O prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom God, has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts who migrated [from Mecca] with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the prophet if the prophet wishes to wed her; - this only for thee, and not for believers [at large]; we know what we have appointed for them as to their wives and the  captives whom their right hand possess; - in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And God is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing. (Sura 33:50-51) - Yusuf Ali translation from M. Ali - Islam Reviewed (free book at the link) http://www.beholdthebeast.com/islam_reviewed_contents.htm

In the above we can see that Mohammed's god made legal "wives" that he possessed out of prisoners of war, and also for the less privileged average Joe "believer": "we know what we have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hand possess..."

Wives AND captives. Of course concubinage is perfectly Quranic, in addition to 4 wives and is practiced in many parts of even very civilized parts of the world where Muslims are not under Sharia law. Though the god of Islam did award Mohammed as many wives as he wanted, and even gave Mohammed a special revelation that allowed him to take his step-son's wife.


But to suggest that the Quran does not condone rape, would be to suggest that women, whose husbands may have been slain in the very battle in which they were captured, would somehow enjoy being stuck in with 3 other wives and concubines, and raped by a victor that captured her as a "spoil" of war.
Or that a young girl would like to be pressed into sexual service in a harem after having been captured in battle and removed from her parents. Mohammed himself consumated his marriage with Aisha when she was 9 years old.

So how is this NOT RAPE, by any human standard?
But then human rights isn't a top priority in Islam. Do a search for Muslim "honor killings", like the one below.

Conveniently, since the word of 2 women equals the word of one man under Islamic sharia law, then it follows that it takes 3 women to bring an allegation of rape.

Sura al-Baqara 2:282 - "The women asked, "What is deficient in our intelligence and religion, Messenger of God?" He answered, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in your intelligence."

And of course in practice during this Second Islamic Jihad in many parts of the world today:

"Once again, women are the targets. In mid-March, rebels assaulted three women gathering firewood and cut off their ears, lips, and breasts."
"Starting in 2003, Janjaweed Arabs, a Sudan-backed militia, have driven 2 million villagers from their homes in ethnic-cleansing attacks designed to suppress local rebels."

"Eyewitness accounts detailing the militia attacks are horrifying. "They killed my 3-year-old son right in front of my eyes," one father from West Darfur said. Since last fall, women have reported more than 500 rapes. Three women said five militiamen beat and raped them last August. The women said, "After they abused us, they told us that now we would have Arab babies. And, if they would find any [more] women, they would rape them again to change the color of their children.""

Isn't it painfully obvious that God would never send any final prophet to be and do the opposite, of everything Jesus was and did?
