Nozzi, you quote the Koran:
>>Quran 79:40, "But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts."<<
Allah allows Muslims to have the evil desire of lusting for and sleeping with captured slave girls Koran 4:3, 4:24, 23:26, 33:50. Allah encourages the evil thought in Muslims of acquiring booty from people they conquer, Koarn 8:69, 48:19-20.

Koran 4:3, 4:24, 23:26, 33:50. Allah encourages the evil thought in Muslims of acquiring booty from people they conquer, Koarn 8:69, 48:19-2. Your interpretation of Quran 4:, 4:24; 23:26; 33:50, 8:69, 48:19-2 are contradictory with Quran 79:40 as mentioned by you. On one hand Quran 79:40 commands us not to have evil desire and on the other hand you interpretation 4:3, 4:24, 23:26, 33:50, 8:69, 48:19-2 as calling muslims to have evil desire. Quran 4;3, 4:24, 23:26, 33:50, 8:69, 48:19-2 must be meant for good instead of evil or else your interpretation seems to be slapping yourselves since on one hand you say one thing and yet on the other hand you say another thing. Muhammad was the one that got inspiration from an angel to call for the write-up of Quran and it could not be that the same author would have its doctrines be contadictory. The whole Quran let you interpret and it turns up to be contradictory and don't tell me, either Muhammad or Allah was drunk and made the verses contradictory.
Quan 4:3, "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. " The phrase, prevent you from doing injustice, in Quran 4:3 as spelt out this should be the right conduct instead of bad conduct. The verses should be meant for muslims to have legal marriage with muslims since all non-muslims are impure. As it is meant for legal marriage, I don't find it bad for this verse.
