re: #370 The Sanity Inspector

Christianity’s record is indisputably spotted. But standing in eternal reproof of that record, crying hypocrisy and betrayal, is Christianity itself, quintessentially embodied in the example of Jesus. In the case of Islam, the charge of hypocrisy hardly applies—certainly not on the matter of religious violence. To put the issue at its starkest, there is simply no equivalent in the Koran to the New Testament’s admonishment to “turn the other cheek”; conversely, there is no equivalent in the New Testament to the Koranic injunction to “kill the disbelievers wherever you find them”.

That’s, in my opinion, a lame way to brush the horrific history of what has been done in Jesus’ name under the rug, while pointing fingers at Islam.
