Correct. When comparing the Koran to the Bible you need to separate the Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT). The Old Testament is a record of the struggle of the Jewish people against their enemies (Hittites, Amorites, etc). The New Testament is the record of the fulfillment of God's Word, embodied in Jesus Christ. As a Christian I see the OT as the historical prelude leading up to the NT, which records the climax of God's plan, i.e., Jesus Christ.
Jesus never advocated violence, even against the Roman occupiers of his country. He converted Simon the Zealot (probably an anti-Roman terrorist, sort of like Hamas) into a man of peace. And when Peter cut off the ear of the Roman soldier, Jesus healed it; his last miracle before he went with the Roman soldiers to die.
As a Christian I believe that the Koran and the New Testament are antithetical to each other: One preaches war against all non-believers (Sura 8:39), death to infidels (Sura 2:191), and hatred -- specifically against Jews and Christians (Sura 5:60, 9:29). The other preaches peace (John 14:27), to turn the other cheek (Matt 5:39), to love one another (John 13:34-35), to love your neighbor as yourself (Galatians 5:14), and to love your enemy and to pray for them (Matt 5:44).
Don't take my word for it. Read both for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
Gideon, is that all that it is? Does it not also prescribe the way of life for the Jews?

As written definitely no argument here.
