The Old Testament is probably worse than the Qur'an, but why should that matter? We don't have a problem with Jewish militancy on the same level we have one with Islamic militancy. What matters is the way people act.
Quote from: SecondClass on April 03, 2016, 09:27:58 PMExactly, so disdain the people. Don't say one religion is more extreme than the other because of the way people in third world countries are using it to take over an area. The religions themselves are pretty close when it comes to what they preach, how impoverished people in the Middle East interpret it has no bearing on that.SpoilerIslam is quite obviously more inclined to violence than Christianity is. I'm sorry that's such an offensive notion, but it's true.Islam's most revered figure is a merchant-turned-warlord. Every significant male figure in Islam was a warlord or conqueror of some kind. I mean, fuck, they were at each other's throats almost the minute the prophet died. It's early success came not from proselytization, but from military conquest using it as a unifying force to turn Arabia from a backwater into a (temporarily) unified and influential nation. The history of bloodshed is there.To compare this propensity for violence to the historical violent applications of Christianity or Judaism demonstrates a blatant lack of knowledge of both Judeo-Christian AND Islamic history and theology.
