I would have thought that any real god would either make sure to clear up all this misunderstanding and tell everyone in the world that they would never order slaughter; or else they just enjoy seeing people kill each other.
It's very contradictory too for a decent God to tell you "not to kill" today; then tell you to "kill" tomorrow.
Killing civilians is forbidden in the first place. So; the likes of ISIS are outlaws; even by the standards of what they claim to be their faith.

The male children were killed to completely wipe out the practices being judged. I subscribe to an age of accountability doctrine, so I'd say they're in heaven now.

How can you possibly convince me that "kill" here isn't "kill"?
and the little ones does not refer to children?
and the enslaving of women and female kids does not involve "rape" ?
Are you gonna say that it is "a metaphor" too ?

In fact, their mommies were sex slaves, and their daddies were slavers.

"Keep alive for yourselves" does not refer to marriage. Neither from linguistic or from contextual aspects.

Elephant in the room, and all.
No. He is the kind of guy who would "follow blindly" what his society tells him.
In other words; our Muslims world is full of alternative versions of him with a Shiite or Sunni labels.

That was Moses's demand. The pharaoh brought it against himself with his evil acts.
Why would God guides a criminal like him?

Aaaannndddd...every thread about Christianity eventually turns to free will.
If you actually read the account, you'd see that pharaoh hardened his heart himself, more than once, before God did so.
Totally agreed.
He brought it upon himself. Just like Hitler and other dictators.
