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

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.

Roughly the number killed in boating accidents in New York State in the twentieth century. Ridiculous. Document a number.

Throught [sic] history Christians have just as much blood on their hands as muslums [sic].

Quite possibly, I don't dispute that. But those "Chrisitans" were not practicing their religion. The Muslims were.

How many other people were burned because they came up with radical ideas like The Earth is round and it goes around the sun.

A common canard. The fact that the Earth was round was propounded and its circumference was calculated by Ptolemy in AD 130. This fact was well known to educated people throughout the world, including Christians. As to the lie that anybody was burned at the stake for the Copernican theory, I defy you to produce the name of exactly one. Galileo is probably the most famous proponent. He was a friend of the Pope's and spent the last years of his life under "house arrest." A grave injustice, but hardly capital punishment.

You seem to want me to accept the crimes of Christianity as my personal cross to bear. I won't. I am not a Chrisitan. I am not a believer at all. But I at least have the sense to recognize this: If you think the world that you currently live in [a modern, secular, pluralistic society] would be possible under Islam, then you don't live here on Earth with me. You are living in a dream world.

Again, I would urge you to actually study the history of western civilization and the debt it owes to Christianity, as well as the backwardness and degeneration of Chrisitan communities once they fell under the crescant, before you start mouthing of a lot of crap you know nothing about.
