The problem isn't Islam, I can find an equal number of commands to kill in the Old Testament ans in Papal Bulls of the middle ages. The real problem is the Arab culture over which Islam has been superimposed. Arab culture was never subjected to the civilizing influences of the Greeks, Romans or Persians and is a tribal society still mired in the 6th century.

Their "religion" is simply a justification of their murderous lifestyle.

Arab culture was never subjected to the civilizing influences of the Greeks, Romans or Persians and is a tribal society still mired in the 6th century. Arab society of the 7th Century was essentially a non-civilized society. They did not seem to do much in the way of agriculture or manufactoring. They did caravans transporting goods between Eastern and Western civilizations, and robbed each others caravans. This is the model that Islam is based on: raid, conquer, loot

Oh, BS. Nothing in the Old Testament is forward looking as Sura 9 in the Koran is.
The problem IS Islam. We don't have this level of problems with Arab non-Muslims.
