We can read into the implications, GC. when you don't go into it assuming this invading army is the good side by default, or that their god is good by default, you can look at the event objectively. The whole thing is very poorly handled, without care for the interests of the other side. If that happened to us, we would consider that horrible, and traumatizing, thus we can empathize with these women. Nowadays we don't see killing as acceptable. If you have the power and are motivated enough, even if you think a group is evil you can still rehabilitate them. You don't have to slaughter them.
Now that culture was very different, but supposedly they had an enlightened and all powerful deity on their side, with many other options beyond just killing people. We can come up with better solutions, because we care about people. Even people who believe differently than we do. That's what real benevolence is.
You're really arguing that there's no good reason to think there's anything wrong with going into someone's house, killing the family inside except for the young unmarried woman, dragging her off to her place, shaving her head, holding her there for a month, and telling her she has to marry you or you're going to put her out on the street in a place where she has no support group or real value if you've already taken her virginity. And none of us can understand why you think that.
