You obviously failed to understand the distinction between tribal and territorial morals. Territorial morality defines a person’s territory, including his or her property and dependents, which is not to be damaged or interfered with. Attacking another tribe would not be considered immoral in the same sense of the U.S. having attacked Germany in WWII was not immoral. I am not stating that, to our advanced minds today, that raping the women of another tribe was moral, but to incorporate the women and children into the tribe would have strengthened the tribe and allowed it to defend itself from other tribes. No tribesman would have killed anyone in his own clan, because that person would have been needed, and that was where morals began its evolution.
