Just read this whole thread.
Mo66, you remind me of Christians who jizz whenever they can convince someone that the Bible supports a spherical Earth, even though that theory was in place as early as the 6th B.C.E. by Pythagoras i.e. it's common sense. Likewise, you're frothing over the fact that some event in the past acted in a morally rational way given the circumstances which happens to be described in the Qu'ran. So flipping what?
For your book to be the truth, it needs to meet a myriad of criteria:
If and only if (p & q & r & s & t...) then p1, where p1 is that the Qu'ran is true.
So in essence, at most you've demonstrated that one small fragment of the Qu'ran is up to speed with basic common sense. You still have your work set out to justify all the other horrific stuff like wife beating. Such an issue makes one of the above propositions false which therefore means it puts into question whether the Qu'ran is the ultimate source for truth.
