But-----if you look at what the Muslims are doing today with what was written, you cannot deny that these people just can't get along with anybody.
There are 146 wars going on in this world today. Of those 146, 142 involve Islam / Muslims.
Talmudic/athiestic Jews are no better. They take advantage of anyone and everyone.
You are incorrect about the Crusades.
The Crusades were the result of Islamic insurgence into FRance, Spain and most of Europe.
The Crusades were used to get rid of Islam because the peoples of these regions new how ruthless Islam is.
YOur comments about the Bible are interesting. I don't believe the Bible celebrates cruelty. It just reports that it did happen and that it was needed in many instances to decapitate a heathen power.
The Quran is just a bunch of writings from Clerics who put their own ideas into a book after watching Mohammed go into his epilleptic fits.
There was no inspiration for the Quran, osther than hate of the Christians / Jews who rejected Mr. Mohammed and his band of kooks.
Ps.....Mohammed was a terrorist and participated in many killings....NIce Guy huh?
There are violent people in all religions, but many civilized Muslims too. I've met a few here in L.A. who are secular, the women in modern dress and they have careers.

That number's been circulating the internet, and I suppose talk radio too. I don't know how accurate it is. But there are some billion Muslims in the world, so it's only natural that people of Muslim faith are "involved" in many wars. How many Christian nations were "involved" in World Wars One and Two?
Mohammed was a terrorist and participated in many killings....
"Terrorist" is a modern word. Another way to look at it is that Mohammed was a "warrior" -- same as Charles the Great (who was crowned Holy Roman Emperor for his war-making), the Cursaders, the Israelists (who were aggresors as much as aggresed against), and a whole host of nominally Christian or Jewish kings and leaders. Moses was arguably as much a warrior/terrorist as Mohammed. Moses came upon Canaan and waged an aggressive war on them.
I don't know that Mohammed was any more a "terrorist" than other rulers of his era. Sure, Christ and Buddha were peaceful, but many religious leaders (popes too) were warriors.
I think there's cruelty in the Bible. It's an uneven book, probably because it has many authors. Look at all the punishments that God inflicts. There's one story about a guy who's helping carry the Arc of the Covenant, and he slips against it, and thus is stricken dead.
