Samuel's "slaughter" might be more figurative than literal today, such as a hostile takeover, or exile. There have been cases of entire families killed - the Romanovs (Tsar) in Russia, by the Soviets - but we do not slaughter defeated enemies anymore.
Slaughtering entire Royal/Ruling families was accepted then because it was "normal procedure" then, it reduced the need to keep watching one's back, at least from that direction.
The point of the matter is that Judaism grew out of the bloodthirsty stage;
Christianity did for a while , but has had relapses at times, generally against fellow Christians (Protestant v. Catholic, Orthodox v. Roman, etc).
Islam has always had the Draconian punishments in the Islamic lands ruled by Sharia law: floggings, stonings, beheadings and amputations, and the like. That is the difference.
"Gods truth does not change and to attack someone for what the prophets themselves did is to set oneself against God, no?
No, it is not, because there is no moral equivalency between the two.
The Biblical occurrences were thousands of years ago, and are NO more. The Islamist occurrences of punishment under Sharia law are TODAY, and that, the cruel and unusual punishments as described above, is NOT acceptable in civilized society.
"Your basic mistake in logic stems from comparing the morals and ethics of thousands of years ago with the morals and ethics of the 21st Century.'
So Mohamed was not so bad after all as it was his times, eh?
"No, it is not, because there is no moral equivalency between the two."
Why? Because you say so? Or your preacher says so?
Either it is immoral to execute women and children in the name of obeying God or it is not and time doesnt change that.
"The Biblical occurrences were thousands of years ago, and are NO more. The Islamist occurrences of punishment under Sharia law are TODAY, and that, the cruel and unusual punishments as described above, is NOT acceptable in civilized society."
Ah, so it is OK to take practices condemned by 98% of Muslims around the world as typical of them while ignoring Biblical passages from our own faith that call for the execution of entire nations?
Why dont you jsut admit that you want to hate Muslims and feel good about it?
