I've read the Bible.

A number of times.

I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy (or, more likely, ignorance) of those who use certain (Koranic) texts to proclaim the inherently violent nature of Islam, while generally ignoring the arguably more violent nature of certain (Biblical) texts.

My problem is not that the Koran says that it is righteous to exterminate the enemies of God. The OT says pretty much the same thing.

My problem is that (some) Muslims are attempting to implement these texts today. I know of no Jewish or Christian groups attempting to do the same. If Muslims took the literal meaning of their sacred texts with the same grain of salt that Jews and Christians do, we would not have a problem.

IOW, the problem is not the wording of the text, it's the interpretation and application.

Huge difference between the scope of the objects of wrath of the two gods. Allah targets the whole world whereas the God of the Bible's targets are specific, time-limited and cannot be generalized beyond certain borders.
