5) It demands we treat prisoners of war, captives, slaves well (even though no one hears about owning slaves anymore!)…

It's like that whole 20-page conversation about concubines--women captured in war, rape, whether they get freed if they become pregnant or on the death of the master--never happened.  SMH.[/quote]

Oh it happened alright. You just ignored the parts you didn't want to read.[/quote]

Happy to help by recapping that discussion.

When Muslim soldiers capture a village,
- They may distribute the female prisoners of war as concubines among themselves (per the Quran).
- The women are raped. These new concubines have no choice about having sex with their new masters (who probably just killed their husbands or fathers). 
- If the concubine becomes pregnant with her rapist's child, she is freed upon her master's death. (This point took many pages but, contrary to what Muslim PP argued, the BBC link she provided herself proved the concubine is not freed at pregnancy or at the birth of her child, but only if she outlives her master.)[/quote]

Back it up with the Quran or bow out.[/quote]

Since you asked. For those who don't know, "those whom your right hands possess" is a euphemism for "slave women." Additional Quranic verses support taking prisoners of war as slaves, and I can add those verses in a later post if you want me to.

[b]Qur’an 33:50—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 Allah has assigned to thee . . .[/b]

Also,

Qur’an 4:24—Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess . . .

Qur’an 23:1-6—The Believers must (eventually) win through—those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex; except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess—for (in their case) they are free from blame.

Qur’an 70:22-30—Not so those devoted to Prayer—those who remain steadfast to their prayer; and those in whose wealth is a recognized right for the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking); and those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgement; and those who fear the displeasure of their Lord—for their Lord’s displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquility—and those who guard their chastity, except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess—for (then) they are not to be blamed.

(Editorial note. I can't believe you think your rhetorical strategies are working for you. Whenever you make something up, whenever you challenge someone to provide proof, you seem to be just crossing your fingers and hoping that nobody will call you out. But somebody always does call you out. Do you never learn?)[/quote]
