Frankly, your idea that the Quaran is bad is considerably worse. Christianity has been used longer and more effectivley to excuse killing more people in the western world than the Quaran has in the middle east or otherwise. In addition to this, the bible and the Quaran don't specifically say go kill people, it is merely interpereted that way.

Yes it does . It also says that it is righteous to lie and cheat the infidel . Israel 1949 , Arabs would sneak into the WOMEN's quarters of a kibbutz and cut the throats in the name of Allah . Women children it does not matter . SHOW me where Christians have done something similar . I do NOT want to hear about the inquisitions , let's talk modern day, post superstitious hysteria . This time try not to run away.

This whole thread, like all of foundingfathers ( ) is bandwidth wasted for no other reason than to spew his hatred, half truths and lies about God, the Bible, and Christians. Brush the dust off your sandals people and just ignore him and his hateful ignorance as well as that of theyellowresistance.

So we should just excuse radical Islamic murderers because they "haven't been around as long?" That is weak, and wrong, as you say.

No. I simply say rather than preaching a different holy book and pssing them off more we should find solutions to their problems in the Quaran. A powerful musilm leader could easily use the Quaran to end the better part of these killings, much like the Reformations prompted by martin luther.

The point is that this has for the most part ended in Christianity. When was the last time a christian killed a bunch of people in the name of the bible? Besides several cults, it ended a long time ago when spiritual leaders identified it as wrong and found new interperitations. The same should and can happen in the middle east. We merely need to recognize this as a better solution.

Word of warning... I don't play well with others.

No, the point is that it has never existed in Chrsitianity like it has in Islam for over 1400 yeas, because where the Bible decries the violent spread of Christianity, the Qur'an does in fact promote it.
No, the scriptures were not changed nor were there any "new interpretations" of them. Violence in the name of Christianity (not including that of self-defense) came and went quickly when those who misinterpreted the scriptures were stopped. Get real, religious leaders of Islam in the Middle East have convened several times to discuss Western calls for "reform" and every time they refuse on the grounds that "nothing in Islam needs changing". Even here in the U.S. we see that Muslims are making very little effort in the way of assimilating into our society, but they're doing a LOT to force us to conform to theirs. If the atheists in this country got as bent out of shape over Islam being forced on them as they do over having to listen to a 30 second Christian prayer we’d already have wars going on in the streets.
