How many times Moses and Muhammad are mentioned in the Quran?
The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran (9)
This is the ninth article of the series: "The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran"
In the previous articles (1-8), we have seen that in Language, the "foreign" woman is the alien or the exotic or the outsider woman. However, the Bible has another view. As confirmed by the Bible, the "foreign" woman is the non-Israelite woman or the non-Jewish woman.
As a result, any non-Israelite or any non-Jewish woman is a "foreign" women.
This indicates that the women in the Bible are but one of two categories; they are either Legitimate (genuine) or Foreign (strange).
In the previous article (The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran-8), The Bible gives the policy of how to deal with the foreign women in the war, kill every woman who has slept with a man; but capture and save for you every girl who has never slept with a man.
In the present article, The Bible (Deuteronomy 2:31-35, Deuteronomy 3:3-7, Judges 21:10 1 and 1Samuel 15:2-3) gives four more examples in adopting a policy of targeted killings of the foreign women in the war. The Bible says:
(1) And the Lord God said unto Moses, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his country before you: begin to conquer and possess his land. Then Sihon came out against us, him and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz. And the Lord God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. And we took all his cities at that time, and completely destroyed every inhabited city, and we killed all men, women and children; we left no survivor; we left no one alive. Only the livestock we took as spoil for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities that we captured.
(2) So Jehovah our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns a great many. And we completely destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, totally destroying every inhabited city, and we killed all men, women and children. But all the cattle, all the livestock and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.
(3) And the company send there twelve thousand men of the sons of valor, and command them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword, even the women and the infants.
(4) In addition, the Bible says: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go and strike the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but kill men and women, children, infants and suckling, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'" Herein, the Lord God Love commanded to kill the infants and suckling in addition.
Again, it may be productive to remind the smart reader that the sword is mentioned more than 400 times in the Bible; and the sword is never ever mentioned in the entire Quran.
In the entire Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in respect to their rights and responsibilities regardless of race, color, location etc. To avoid repetition, the interested reader can read the previous seven articles of this series: "The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran 1-7".
Moses' Wars in the Quran:
On the other hand, these Biblical tales of the wars between the Israelites and Sihon the king of Heshbon, Og the king of Bashan, the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead and the Amalekites are not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.
Also, Sihon, Heshbon, Og, Bashan, Argob, Jabesh-Gilead, Jahaz, the 60 fortified cities, the unwalled towns, and the Amalekites are not mentioned therein in the entire Quran.
It should be emphasized that Moses is mentioned 124 times in the Quran while Muhammad is mentioned four times only in the whole Quran; i.e. for each 31 times Moses is mentioned in the Quran, Muhammad is mentioned once. However, in these 124 times of Moses, the Quran does not say that Moses had wars with Sihon the king of Heshbon or Og the king of Bashan.
Is the Quran anti-Israelites? Once more,
Ethically speaking, if the Quran is anti-Israelites then such massacre wars and bloodbaths would have been magnified and exaggerated in the Quran and it would be said: look at these people how they behave in the wars! But the Quran does not say anything like that.
Furthermore, do you smart reader believe that the Lord God Love is happy with the outcome of such reasonless wars?
On the other hand, the Prophet Muhammad put strict Prohibition against Killing Women and Children in Military Expeditions. Muhammad commanded not to kill women and children.
Also, Abu Bakr (the Muslims' leader after Muhammad's death) put ten ethical Commandments in War starting with: Do not kill women and children.

The Bible (King James Version)
Deuteronomy 2:31-35
31And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
32Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
Deuteronomy 3:3-7
3So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
4And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
6And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
7But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
Judges 21:10
10And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
1 Samuel 15:2-3
2Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3Now 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.
