I think Islam 'can be peaceful,
That location and time though, pretty unpeaceful.

Palestine[edit]
Since being annexed by Egypt in 1959, the Gaza Strip has applied Egyptian penal law Articles 290 and 291, although these have been repealed in Egypt itself in 1999.[42] After being annexed by Jordan in 1950, the West Bank has applied the 1960 Jordanian penal law Article 308.[42] It is unclear how often the law was applied in practice. Ikhlas Sufan, director of a Nablus victims of violence shelter, told Human Rights Watch that "between 2011 and 2017 prosecution for rape has been halted in 60 cases – in which the shelter was helping the women – after the alleged rapist agreed to marry the victim. In 15 of these cases the women later divorced these men."[81] After an activist campaign put pressure on the Palestinian Authority, president Mahmoud Abbas eventually signed Law no. 5 of 2018 on 14 March 2018, which repealed article 308 of the 1960 Penal Code enforced in the West Bank. However, because the Gaza Strip is de facto controlled by Hamas, the Egyptian-derived marry-your-rapist law still applies there.[81]
Which isn't me saying all Palestinians are backwards rapists,
But it sounds to still be a fair bit in the culture there.

Course rape itself is common in war, on any side, not that it's good,
But lot of the view by a lot of the people in that neck of the woods, is war, enemies, dehumanization, degradation, horror.
There is that in Ukraine and Russia 'now as well.
And of course America in some of our times as well.

Course Sherman also went on to oppress the Native Americans

One see's inhumanity often in conflict.
