“I think Michael Savage is right about the existence of the edicts in the OT.”
Those OT “edicts” were TEMPORARY, not permanent.
The Koranic call to Jihad is ongoing.
Whether they are temporary or permanent depends on the people who decide to implement them. Many of the edicts are identical since they come from the same source. If you take the Bible in a literal sense, you have to consider the edicts permanent. 500 years ago, the Catholic church behaved in pretty much the same way the Muslims behave today.
If you observe the behavior of the people of different races who share either a neighborhood or the workplace, you will see that race and language play a much larger role than religion. Bosnian Muslims will gravitate towards other Europeans and hang out with them and not with Arab Muslims. In a foreign land, black Muslims from the US feel at home with white Christians from the US despite the rants of Louis Farrakhan. In a similar situation Filipino Christians gravitate towards Malaysian Muslims if the only other people are European Christians.
Michael Savage understands this point very well when he talks of Borders, Language, Culture.
More to the point, in every_single_case that I can recall, when YHWH called for the obliteration of a people, that people was descendant from the Nephilim... The Fallen Ones. The less sophisticated means of the 'god' of the Koran is to obliterate everyone who is not muslim.
One was eliminating a problem thoroughly and efficiently.
The other seeks conversion by threat and fear.
The motives are wholly different.
