"Modern Islam is no more violent than late medieval Christianity. The big difference is Christianity had its renaissance and reformation, before it got the nuclear bomb. Islam may get the bomb first."

In order to believe this, I would have to completely ignore the scripture of both religions. Which scripture clearly advocates the murder or forced conversion of non-adherents? Which scripture clearly does not?

There was a comparison recently done by a Swedish?? professor doing a textual comparison for the major religions.

Hands down, Islam had the most violent verses.

Sorry I can't remember the title.

Are you saying that because there was not a scripture advocating the inquisition that killed/slaughtered, staked, burned, hung-drawn and quartered - that it must not have happened? OR must not have been perpetrated by Christians - ordered by Popes?

I don't know enough of either the Koran or the Christian Bible to be able to answer what each says. I do know enough of history to know how each were used and misused.
