But your Quran does condone rape, just like all the books of Abraham. The fact you don't interpret it that way, does not mean other Muslims dont.
Your Quran treats girls as prizes "virgin" to be given out like door prizes, not humans. And not just prizes, submissive that must obey the man. That means if the man commands the woman to give her sex, regardless if she wants to, she has to. And that also means the collective men of the society have the right to punish girls/women for the way they dress or wanting educations.

As soon as the man buys the idea they have dominion over girls/women, then they can justify whatever they do to them, because the are not considered humans, but property.
Now you can claim all you want the words aren't there to justify it, but that does not change that people do pick up that book and justify the following.

EDIT, I MAY have misunderstood you. "As if Rape was a Muslim invention".
I agree it isn't. But it still is justified by the Quran the same as all the books of Abraham. There was a time not long ago in America where the social norm was even for most Christians that it was the wife's duty to give the man sex. That was bible based sexism too. But we've moved away from that justification. If rape happens now, we go after the rapist, they don't get a religious excuse.
This is what poisons human logic. You can both point at the other and both of you would be right. My point is this is why no religion in the world deserves to be scrutiny free.
