There are many things in the Bible that, if taken literally and acted on, would violate U.S. law. Human sacrifice, for example. Most people, no matter what faith they practice, try to obey the laws of the land in which they live. Most, not all. There are thousands of American crimnals who also happen to be Christians. People like you who paint with the broadest possible brush are no different from Muslism who think all Americans are evil.

No there are not many thing in the bible if taken literaly blah blah blah...

By all means post them if you think there are.

The Koran on the otherhand, is a contunious instruction manual instructing it's "believers" to destroy all others,muerder, maime, slaughter, mutilate, convert the world to Islam. There aren't "just a few bad verves" in the Koran. There are FEW GOOD ONES.

Just a little quibble with your post:
Christians, for the most part, follow the New Testament, as Christ brought the New Covenant. The New Testament is pretty tame when it comes to the violence of the OT, so Christians can disclaim that violence.

Exactly. Islam needs to move beyond strict literalism in it's reading of the Koran, as mainstream Christianity and Judaism have done with their holy books.
