LAWFUL RAPE IN THE QURAN.
Verse 8/69. "But (now) enjoy what ye (Muslims*) took in war, lawful and good." Much og what they took "lawful and good", were slaves. And many Muslim men knew (know) how to "enjoy" the femal ones of them - women and children. Verse 4/24 tells that this also goes for married slave women. ("Those whom your right hand possesse" is an Arab expression meaning "your slaves").
Verse 23/5-6: (Good Muslims) "who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possesses - for (in their cases) they are free from blame". No comment - and none neccessary.
Verse 33/50: "Oh 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 spoils of war - - -. - - - We(Allah) know what We have appointed to them (the Muslims) as to their wives and those whom their right hands possesses - - -." Take a girl or woman captive/slave, and she is "lawful" for you.
Verse 70/29-30: "- - - those who guard their chastity, exceptwith their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess - for (then) they are not to be blamed." There are very few girls or women wanting sex with their captors - perhaps after the captor has murdered their male families. Thus this is an open message: There is no blame in forcing captive females to sex = no blame to rape them.
Remember here 5/87, 16/116, 66/1, which all says something like: "Make not lawful the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you".
Also Mohammad's example showed the Muslims the same: Mohammad raped at least Rayhana bint Amr and Safiya bint Huayay. Mohammad never sinned, islam claims = there is no sin in raping captive females.
The disrespect Muslims tend to have for "infidels" and for women may be part of the reason why Muslim men in the West tend to be overrepresented as rapists. Another - stronger? - may be the fact that according to the Quran, it is no sin to rape a captive woman.
