and sent her into all the territory of Israel." The Bible states that the punishment
for raping a virgin girl who is not pledged to be married is as follows: "If a man find a
young woman that is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and
lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto
the young woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife;
because he has violated her, he may not put her away all his
days." (Deuteronomy 22/28-29) In fact, this only serves to encourage rape, reward the
offender and cause the victim to forfeit her right, and so anyone who wishes to force a
woman to marry him only needs to rape her and give her father fifty shekels of silver!
[8] In Proverbs 7/16-19, for example, we read, "I have decked my bed with
coverings of tapestry, with colored spreads, with fine linen of Egypt. I have
perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill
of love until the morning: let us delight ourselves with love. For my husband
is not at home…" Hosea 3:1 also reads, "Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet,
love a woman beloved of her lover, and an adulteress...."
[9]One the immoral acts of which the writers of the Gospels have accused Jesus Christ,
peace be upon him, and which Muslims vehemently reject and would by no means
tolerate, is that he was an alcoholic: "The Son of Man has come eating and drinking,
and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners!'" (Luke 7/34) In Matthew 11/19, we read, "The Son of man came eating
and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a drunkard…" The
irony is also apparent when one reads in Proverbs 23/29-30, "Who has woe? Who has
sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has babbling? Who has wounds without
cause? Who has redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that
go to seek mixed wine." Other verses include: "Woe unto them that rise up early
in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night,
till wine inflames them! And the harp, and the lyre, the timbrel, and flute, and
wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither
consider the operation of his hands." (Isaiah 5/11-12); "Woe unto them that are
mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink." (Isaiah
5/22); "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise." (Proverbs 20/1); John the Baptist is praised in Luke 1/51 "For
he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor
strong drink." Paul even said that those who drink alcohol will not inherit the kingdom
