BTW, how do you explain this?

Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

Leviticus 26:8

Sounds just like the Koranic verses the Islamophobes like to post to "prove" that Islam is an evil juggernaut out to destroy everyone else...

Umm...no?

That verse sounds like it is saying that the people doing the chasing are after their enemies, who have probably attacked them. It does NOT tell the reader to kill all non-Jews or Non-Christians. The enemies this passage has talked about are probably enemies in a war. On the other hand, the Quran exhorts the Muslims to kill infidels indiscriminately and ambush them.
