My point is that if you take a single verse from the bible, and a single verse from any other religous book; without reference to context; you can BIAS at will.

I am not making any moral equivalance between Christiantiy and Islamic religons. Please read the posts before flaming.

There is a bloody thread woven throughout the entire Koran.

It isn't just "one verse" which condemns it.

"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." -2 Peter 1:20

"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God:but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ." -2 Corinthians 2:17

"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. " - 2 Peter 3:16

"But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." -2 Corinthians 4:2

Um, no you can't. Cuz when you do you are violating the Scriptures own interpretation of itself. Context matters, always. A text without a context is a pretext and not any longer a text.

In Islam, you can make it say murder in context, no interpretation necessary. The context says murder all unbelievers ("infidels"), even until now, without interpretation. And they prove it with every murder, every hijacking, every homicide bomber, every sniper, every day.

Name a "Baptist terrorist organization" any place in the world. I can name many Muslim ones.

Name a fundamentally, staunchly Muslim extremist organization which denounces ALL terrorism, every day, and has for years now. Just one....

....you will see how "peaceful" Islam is when you tap this Church's incoming calls, emails and FAXes and video his home and church for a while, while the "peace-loving Mohammedans" attack.

Maybe you should re-read your first post. You said:

The bible has more than one reference to genocide, in which a race was obliterated with God's blessing.

We just want an example.
