You already saw the sole occurrence of “khazaq” and I said no more than that. Are you asking for the scriptures to micromanage the rest or can you presume that even human judges can figure the rest out?

So... violently raping a virgin is of such little importance that the Old Testament never even addresses it? In that whole, huge collection of writings, that tells you how to dress, how to pray, what to eat, how to speak, how to plant your fields... (the important things, apparently)... only mentions rape ONCE??

And only long enough to say that if the woman was raped, and is betrothed, don't kill her?

Because taking the time to utter ONE SENTENCE about rape being wrong is "micromanaging?" That's how little importance is attached to it?

Wow. Thank you. You have proved my point for me, better than I ever could. The god of the Muslims and the god of the Old Testament are definitely the same god. Moreso even than I realized. You have illustrated it beautifully.

Not good to presume. I’ll have to ask you if you are asking for the Bible to micromanage again, especially after I pointed out that all evil works are punishable by death according to it. The Bible is more like a constitution rather than a whole book of laws; do you know the definition between the two of those, now?

You haven’t proven anything yet, other than you are seeking self-justification. If it is not enough that violent rape is mentioned once and that the punishment cited for it is death on the part of the offending male, then what is? Once is enough. Quibbling between betrothed and non-betrothed females is lawyeristic dissembling.

BTW, you go on and on about the Bible being like the Koran but you haven’t cited any parallel suras to the Bible verses you’re quoting.
