And I always point out that those verses are actually from the books of the Jewish religion. The books of the Christian religion contains no such verses at all. Quite the opposite -- turn the other cheek, forgive them for they know not what they do, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, love thy neighbor, and so forth...

And the amusing part is the long record of Christian brutality, pogroms, anti Semitism in Europe. Some of it church promoted. Much of it church tolerated. While the Jews, with their bloodier holy book, never got to return much in kind to their tormenters.

To repeat. Jews are not commanded to emulate the bloodier passages in the Old Testament. 
OTOH Muslims are commanded to emulate the life of Muhammad. And Muhammad lead a life of blood. Though most Muslims will tell you their goal is to emulate the good parts of Muhammad's life

Quite the opposite -- turn the other cheek, forgive them for they know not what they do, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, love thy neighbor, and so forth...

And how did this all work out in practice, how Jews were treated in Europe?
