There is nothing in that book that exhorts people living since 500 BC to kill and slaughter. The Koran has a number of such commands that point to the present and future untill all the world is Islamic or dead, or at least dhimmi. The apparent nastiness in the Bible pointed to by critics was time, place, and enemy specific and was not extended to any other peoples that have lived since. The Crusades were not religious wars to convert anyone but were defensive actions to keep the Holy land open to pilgrims. There is no comparison between Islam and religion.

Another great post.

There is nothing like plain truth to shoot down the Islamodefenders' lies.

You miss the point. This isn't a Bible vs Koran discussion. You will have to find another thread for that.
You may not like the Koran and that Islam is an accepted religion, but it is. The majority of people practicing it, do so peaceably. That's all.
