[Commie Basher]

Those punishments may seem harsh to you, but they are not for the mere slighting of Allah's name

Isn't there a passage in the OT where God tells the Hebrews not to touch his altar. Then, as they're moving it, one guy slips and accidentally touches it -- and he's struck dead.

In another passage, a prophet enters a city, and some kids mock him and call him "baldy." So God sends a bear to slaughter the kids -- killed merely for insulting a prophet.

The OT God seems pretty petty in his murderous brutality.

If God did those things, He will answer for them.

But he does not command US to go out and murder persons for imagined slights, as Islam does, and You Know That Just as Well as I.

Commie Basher, big difference it seems to me between man killing another as punishment for sins and God killing a man or group for sins. Don't you wish Allah would do the killing when someone "blasmphemes" him or his evil prophet instead of requiring Muslims to kill for him?
