                 to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives
                 ravished.. And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they
                 shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare chil-
                 dren. (Isaiah, 13: 15-18)
                 And to the others He said in my hearing, "Pass through the city after him,
                 and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Kill old
                 men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women ..."
                 (Ezekiel, 9: 5-6)
                 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and
                 spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and
                 sheep, camel and ass. (1st Samuel, 15: 3)
                 We destroyed [these cities] just as we had done to those of Sichon, king of
                 Cheshbon, annihilating every man, woman and child. (Deuteronomy, 3:6)
                 God our Lord gave him over to us, so that we killed him along with his
                 sons and all his troops. We then captured all his cities, and we annihilat-
                 ed every city, including the men, women and children, not leaving any
                 survivors. (Deuteronomy, 2: 33-34)

                 The need to leave nothing alive, not even women and children,
             is another of the laws in the Torah:

                 That is what you must do to the cities that are very far from you, and
                 which do not belong to the nations that are here. However, when dealing
                 with the cities of these nations, which God your Lord is giving you as
                 hereditary territory, you shall not allow any people to remain alive. Where
                 the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizites, Hivites, and Yebusites are
                 involved, you must wipe them out completely, as God your Lord com-
                 manded you. (Deuteronomy, 20:15-17)

                 As verses make clear, the penalty for theft in Islam is the severing
             of the hand in order to prevent repeated acts. But if a person repents
             of the crime he has committed, then the penalty is not enforced (Ko-
             ran, 5:38-39). Nobody will renounce the blessing of repentance and
             forgiveness in the knowledge that they will suffer such a deterrent
