You have failed to show that those women were raped. They could have been used as servants, wives and other things, things that do not include rape. You want anyone associated with God to be bad because you are bigoted towards us.
I guess you're against defending your country, too.

Wives that the guy never had sex with? I doubt it. I also doubt that anyone would want to have consensual sex with someone who killed their family and friends. Most people see rape as non consensual sex. what is rape to you? Why do you think it wouldn't count then, when it would count now? Because the people in power didn't consider it rape? That's kind of a flimsy excuse.
We still have people today who think slavery is ok. If you were kidnapped in one of those countries and enslaved, I doubt you'd just be ok with it because it's their culture, and we shouldn't judge them by our standards.
Of course they would have sex with them, they would be there wives and the scriptures tell us they did. Rape is brutal non-consensual sex, rape is more about violence than it is sex. You haven't proven it would be non-consensual sex, you are assuming it was non-consensual.
The land was promised to the Israelites long before they came out of Egypt, this is the land God gave to Abraham. The Israelites had to take the land because others were occupying it. As the Israelites were defeating their enemies what were they to do with these women, turn them loose that would have meant certain death for them. God had the Israelites to take these women in and give them an opportunity at a life. You keep referring to those times as if they were the same as today when they were not, it was a totally different world. The women taken were in need of men to survive (this was the way the whole world worked) and so I would say they were able to accept their situation.
You have an unrealistic idea about slavery, individual criminal organizations run the slave trade of today not countries. Those who engage in this type of slavery are criminals also, that's the way the world works today.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
