#8  Al-Qaedamight have been weakened collectively, but apparently it has been slowly but steadily succeeding in poisoning the minds of the Muslim youth – one at a time. This supply chain must be cut at the very central artery.

Word Mr. Azad.

Fundamental difference difference is that the Bible is basically a history book. Nowhere it tells such or such action was right or that it would still be right in other times while the Coran commands such actions, declares then right and sets no limits in time to the killing of infidels. Also the basis ot rabinic judaism is that not everything is in the Bible and that is why Jews stopped stoning adulterous women centuries ago. Coran is complete and not subject to revision. There will not be be ànother prophet softening it' in fact it was not created and not even Allah can change it.

#6  I did try to read the Koran but found the violence too excessive just had to put it down. My reaction is similar to Ben's in the comment section;

"Ben wrote:
I didnt talk about Christians or the bible. I have read both the Quran and the Bible (I am neither Christian nor Moslem/Muslim). And it is very clear that the Old Testament of the Bible is never as explicit in terms of violence, threats and repeated calls to ´arms´, killing, harsh laws etc than the Quran. It is precisely because the Quran contains these lines/verses(ayats and surahs) calling for blood and killing that many radicals have found it easy to use the Quran to commit mass murder."

#2  "Qur'an exhorted Muhammad to tell Muslims: "Come, I will rehearse what God has really prohibited you from: take not life, which God has made sacred, except by the way of justice and law; thus does He command you that you may learn wisdom" (4:151). "

One word: Abrogation.

#1  Here is the quote by Abdul-Majeed Azad the distinguished whatever.

"QurÂ’an exhorted Muhammad to tell Muslims: "Come, I will rehearse what God has really prohibited you from: take not life, which God has made sacred, except by the way of justice and law; thus does He command you that you may learn wisdom" (4:151). "

Here is a collection of a dozen different translations of 4:151. As one can see, all of them discuss disabling or killing disbelievers. If you go to the verses preceding and following this verse there is even more of the same 'destroy the infidel' stuff.
