"Islam commands moslems to kill Jews, Christians and non-moslems. Jesus Christ commands me to love my enemies. There is no comparision."

But if somebody unacquainted with the Bible read the old testament and took in the full scope of the god of wrath, his murdering nations, playing favorites, bloody sacrifices, aiding & abetting the enemy (story of Job), etc., I'm sure they too would be appalled. It's a question of what how you interpret and you want to emphasize in a holy text.

I follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, not Deuteronomy. You claimed, "Jesus talked about being a warrior," I missed that in my readings and only sought evidence or refutation of this claim.
