Kill all the men, women, infants and animals of the Amalekites in the Bible:
In 1 Samuel 15:1-11:
The Lord punished the Amalekites for what they did to Israel
What had the Amalekites done to the Israelites?
They waylaid them as they came up from Egypt
They ambushed them on the way when he came up from Egypt
What was the Punishment?
The Lord Commanded Saul, Now go:
Attack the Amalekites and
Totally destroy everything that belongs to them.
Do not spare them;
Put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "
But Saul and the army spared
Agag (the Amalekites' king) and
The best of the sheep and
The best of the cattle, and
The best of the fat calves and
The best of the lambs and
Everything that was good.
These they were unwilling to destroy completely,
But everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
Was the Lord happy with Saul?
The LORD came to Samuel and said:
"I am grieved that I have made Saul king,
Because he has turned away from me and,
Has not carried out my instructions.
The Lord was grieved because Saul did not totally destroy all the Amalekites and their animals.
The Lord required Saul and Commanded him to kill all the newborn babies, the infants, the kids, the boys, the girls, the women, the men, the young, the seniors, all the Amalekites in addition to their cattle, sheep, camels and donkeys. In this case, the Lord would not be grieved.
The Lord was grieved because Saul spared Agag and some animals!
However, it is hard to believe that God Love would have done something like that!

1 Samuel 15:1-11
New International Version (NIV)
The LORD Rejects Saul as King
1 Samuel said to Saul, "I am the one the LORD sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the LORD. 2 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. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy [a] everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "
4 So Saul summoned the men and mustered them at Telaim—two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men from Judah. 5 Saul went to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the ravine. 6 Then he said to the Kenites, "Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, to the east of Egypt. 8 He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. 9 But Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
10 Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel: 11 "I am grieved that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions." Samuel was troubled, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.

Kill all the men, women, infants and animals of the Amalekites in the Quran:
There is nothing like that in the noble Quran.
The Noble Quran does not contain any story like that.
Amalek and Amalekites are not present in the Quran
Moreover, Allah does not Command anything like that.
---------------
In this series, the LORD in the Bible commands to kill many kinds of people. What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill anyone who 1) is Uncircumcised, 2) curses his parents, 3) is a gay, 4) is Zoosexual 5) works in the Sabbath! 6) tries to turn you away from the LORD, 7) lives in that town, 8) is a false prophet, 9) is a Midianites, 10) is the Owner of the ox, 11) is adulterer, 12) eats leavened bread, 13) eats the meat of the sacrifice of peace, 14) eats blood, 15) approaches the holy gifts, 16) does not eat the Passover, 17) touches a dead body, 18) sins defiantly and/or blasphemes the name of the LORD, 19) are old men, young men and maidens, women and children, 20) the Murder, 21) whoever gives his seed to Molech, 22) the medium, the spiritist, the necromancer and the Fortune-Teller, 23) whoever touches the Mount Sinai, 24) whoever kidnaps another and either sells him or still has him, 25) whoever does not listen to the Priest or the Judge, 26) who worships Baalpeor, 27) the man who sleeps with his father's wife and the woman too and 28) anyone who approaches the sanctuary, 29) the man who sleeps with his daughter-in-law and the daughter too and 30) all the men, women, infants and animals of the Amalekites.
None of these Biblical Commandments are present in the Noble Quran. However, what the Western Media would have said if the Quran was the book which commands these 30 Commandments? 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?"
