Deuteronomy 21:10-14
When you go out to war against your enemies, and the LORD your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her.

What does “pare her nails” mean? Sounds painful.
Lewis Ramsey spews:
It means to trim your nails as a man wears his nails and not long as females are wont to do.

Instructions on how to pillage….taking as your possession the women you want from among the people you’re massacring…because THE LORD GOD!!! is on your side…lovely.
This is in the Christians’ and Jews’ holy book?

Does anyone know what the Koran says on this matter?

The “christian” Holy Book is anything written by Ayn Rand.
Theres a reason why they replaced all the images of Yeshua with Gordon Gekko. Jesus was a True Aryan, probably from Sweden or Denmark or maybe even Austria, and is going to smite anyone who isn’t. Pat Robertson and Paul Crouch are perfect examples of What can happen when one loves Jesus properly. Our own pet schizophrenic could tell you this.

Why would anyone want an enemy for a wife? Being married to a friend is bad enough.

Very much like what the country that can do no wrong did with its captives in its founding days:

Oh darn. They were supposed to wait a while! And there were other rules. Oh well. Rules were meant to be broken I guess.

An interesting piece. Mr. Zafar seems to equate a wife’s stealing with a wife’s adultery. I guess those folks just think differently.
