Kill all the Midianites in the Bible
Although Midian was the Land of refugee of Moses and Moses' Father in Law and Moses' Wife was Midianites; however, the LORD Commanded Moses to kill all the Midianites and to destroy all their cities!
=========
Kill all the Midianites in the Bible - B
Moses sent his army to the war as the LORD commanded
1) They slew all the males, and 2) They slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; and 3) They took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and 4) They took the spoil of all their cattle, and 5) They took all their flocks, and 6) They took all their goods, and 7) They burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and 8) They burnt all their goodly castles, with fire, and 9) They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts, and 10) They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses.
After all of that, was Moses satisfied about fulfillment of the LORD Commandment? NO!
----------------------------------------------------
Moses was angry with the officers of the army
Moses said unto them, have you saved all the women alive?
Then Moses commanded his soldiers:
1) Kill every male among the little ones, and
2) Kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
3) But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for you (as captives).
4) After that, purify both yourselves and your captives,
Then, the LORD Commanded Moses, saying,
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast
The booty that remained from the spoil which the men of war had plundered was
• 675,000 sheep,
• 72,000 cattle,
• 61,000 donkeys and
• 32,000 women who had never slept with a man (Captives)
Then Moses divided the spoil as the LORD Commanded!

Numbers 31:13-53 King James Version (KJV)
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses; 22Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 23Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. 24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 - 30 ……………………………………………….
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34And threescore and one thousand asses,
35And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 - 51………………………….
52And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 53(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

Kill all the Midianites in the Quran:
This story of mass-murder and mass-destruction is not found in the Quran!
----------------------------------------------------
What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill 1) the Uncircumcised, 2) the one who curses his father or his mother, 3) the gay, 4) the Zoosexual together with the animal, 5) whosoever does work in the Sabbath! 6) Your brother, your son, etc. if they try to turn you away from the LORD and 7) all who live in that town, 8) the false prophet and 9) all the Midianites and 10) all the women and boys?
What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
