To transpose the commands of God for ancient Israel into the present is to completely rip them out of historical context. Please DO NOT put words in my mouth that "the JEWS are terrorists".

To transpose the commands of God for ancient Israel into the present is to completely rip them out of historical context.

That is exactly correct. To use such passages to paint Christians (or Jews) as violent or terroristic is a complete misapplication of them. But why am I not seeing any desire to treat the Koran similarly? Why is context relevant in interpreting the Bible but not in the Koran? It's meaningless to pick out individual verses and try to build a case on them if no attempt is made to show that they are representative of the overall theme. If we Christians do not want people to twist or abuse the Bible, we should reciprocate by being honest in our approach to others' beliefs.
