Walter, I think that people can find rules and commands within the Old testament (and other places) to justify anything, if they look hard enough.

There is no shortage of bloody stories and violent commands.

I just can’t believe anyone who wants to claim that Islam is fundamentally violent or that the Koran is fundamentally violent; neither are ‘fundamentally’ more violent than the OT, and the history of Christianity surely proves that the practice ofa religion can bear very little relation to its sacred books. (I’m thinking of the contrast between the New Testament and the crusades, the inquisition. I would never think those were indicative of the nature of catholicism or christianity. Why the difference? )

Islam is not fundamentally violent, the Koran is, with in full force commands that are applicable to this day. You don’t know the hebrew scriptures if you are claiming that they follow the same track as the Koran. Or you don’t know either book.

I never said, anywhere, in this thread or any thread that Islam is fundamentally violent.

I like you, but you tend to always “elaborate” what someone said when you are answering. If you want to debate with me, do not “add” to my narrative, I can explain myself quite well.
