Look, if I really cared, I could throw stuff at you out of the Bible that is every bit as bloody and bad.

I don't think that's entirely accurate:  when Yahweh issued "The Mark" to exterminate a population, it was always restricted to a single tribe or city or group of cities.

There was never a Biblical, "from God", order to "Convert or Kill" everyone on the planet.  "The Mark" was never unrestricted.

And, of course, none of the Biblical orders to war are Christian....and even then, most of warfare is from the Torah.

The quran, on the other hand, requires muslims to practice unrestricted warfare on anyone who is not a muslim.

That is the singular most outrageous difference between islam and the worlds living religions.

That is pretty accurate.

The truth about this is easy to find. Simply ask yourself what type of person would you be if you lived your life trying to be like Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, or Zoroaster? I am thinking St. Francis, Mother Theresa, Ghandi.

Then ask yourself what kind of person you would be if you tried to be like Muhammad? I am thinking Osama Bin Laden, Muhammad Atta, Ayatollah Khomeini, John Muhammad, Lee Malvo...

This ain't rocket science, but it is hard to get people to see it.

My koran, and my Bibles are still packed in a box somewhere in one of the piles.

( Just moved. )

I DO know, that in the Koran proper, (NOT one of the commentaries that gets attached to modern korans) there are several exortations to protect and not hassle the "Peoples of the Book", that is , Jews and Christians.
