Response to Nuray

Dear Nuray: The aya you quoted does not say that arabs killed their daughters at large scale. Any ways I give you the point.

However if that aya indicates that arabs burried their daughters alive at large scale then the following ayas establish that Prophet Mohammed carried out massacres which is confirmed by all hadiths and all siras.

8.17 : It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah:
33.26 : some you killed

And he captured innocent women (after killing their men) and had sex with those poor unfortunate women:

033.050 I: 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;
And he thought he could have free sex with his first cousin. He never had nikah with Zainab his first cousin.

033.050 : O Prophet! We have made lawful daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee;

He also looted goods from innocent victims and took 20% of all the loot others robbed.:
33.027
: And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before).

8.1 : They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger
8.69: But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good

8.041 And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire , a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,-

And he promoted violence:
008.065 I: O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight

And promoted wife beating:
4.34 As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them.
