Jews don't...so by your logic are they also an inherently violent religion?

I challenge that assertion. I believe you will find indeed that Jews do believe in progressive revelation.

As to your putative "refutation" not a single one of your verses instructs Chrisitans to subjugate, maim, or murder non-believers.

In response to numerous adjurations in the Koran to murder, the best you can come up with in the NT are some quotes regarding the afterlife, and some aspects of ritual practice of the early Church which are not part of the dogma, faith or morals required of Christians. This is so unbelievably lame it's not even worth wasting keystrokes on.

Please.

Really, How many Thousands of innocent women have suffered excruciating deaths because of this verse?

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Throught history Christians have just as much blood on their hands as muslums. How many other people were burned because they came up with radical ideas like The Earth is round and it goes around the sun.

BTW, While you are reading exodus, read up on one of the most "Heroic" figures in the bible Mosses and all his actions, He makes Osama Bin Laden look like a pussycat.

These are from the King James Version of the Bible, recognized by virtually all Protestants as the revealed and reinforced word of God:

Exodus Chapter 35:

2: Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

Leviticus Chapter 20:

2: Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

9: For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother

27: A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus Chapter 24:

16: And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

Deuteronomy, Chapter 13:

5: And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Deuteronomy, Chapter 17:

2: If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,

3: And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

4: And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:

5: Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
