Deuteronomy 17:12 The man who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the LORD your God must be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.

Well, there's all sorts of violence in The Bible as well.

BZZZZTTT... Wrong answer!

We're talking New Testament with respect to Christianity and, while not up on Judaism AFAIK they don't have ANYONE espousing OT\Torah requirements to enforce death penalty religeous mores or to lay waste and beget misery upon non Judaic peoples.

Face it, The Koran and the Hadiths and apologia of Islam ACTIVELY promote the violent conversion of non-believers and a LOT of other horrible stuff and there are AT LEAST 10-15% of it's ~1.2 billion followers willing to accept as "in stone" those passages. It's further complicated by instruction to LIE and INFILTRATE non-believers, making all followers suspect on some level. NO large number of clerics in Middle Eastern countries step up to the plate to denounce this.

There is NO example of this type of mindset in Judaeo Christian cultures today. Aside from a rare sociopathic nutjob (who is immediately denounced by Christian leaders en-masse) there are NO masses of followers in those religeons willing to strap explosives on their children (Palestinians), enslave thousands of non-believers (Sudanese), provoke religeous bloodbaths (Nigeria, Indonesia, India), mutilate their women's sexual organs (much of Islamic world) etc... I dare say you won't find a SINGLE non Islamic nation whose purpose for the developement of nuclear weapons is to pre-emptively utilize them to eradicate another nation without thought of the consequence to their own people (Iran with respect to Israel).

Islam as it stands is a blood and death cult. For ~1300 years this has not changed. Until they modify their religeous texts to remove the calls to bring misery and death upon non-believers they are the enemy and are not to be trusted. Until the west gets this through their thick skulls we are at serious risk...
