Following Jesus or Abraham is different because they lived lives of peace.

Riiiight!
When ever you're talking about religion(any religion) you're talking about people, and let's face it we are a fairly bloodthirsty group.

The problem I have with folks that hold your position is you take the most extreme bloodthristy verses and present them as only thing the Koran have to say on this subject.

What violent act did Jesus or Abraham commit? Did they rape the women of the men they killed like Mohammad did? I didn't say Christians and Jews are never violent --- but if they follow the founders of their religion they never need to be violent --- but you couldn't say that about Mohammad and his followers.

The problem I have with folks that hold your position is you take the most extreme bloodthristy verses and present them as only thing the Koran have to say on this subject.

This is called 'taking off the rose-colored glasses of self-deception' and 'reading the fine print'. Read surah 9. It clearly repudiates previous moderation. It is also the last significant pronouncement by Muhammad. The fundamental principle of Qur'anic construction is that later revelations modify or supecede earlier ones. You have to then look at the surahs in the order they were given, not the order they appear. Surah 9 is 113th or next-to-last in order of transmission. (110 is last.)
