If the Arabs really want to make something up... they might get better results in the later verses which says somethings that are quite dark, but said in the identity of a higher power who kills children and doesn't think highly of the Babylonian feminists. G-d doesn't like the ladies in present day Iraq much. G-d must of spent a proportional amount of time in Washington State.
