Read what the koran says about infidels (you) and then pop off.
The Bible doesn't have any of that stuff...
Somebody needs to grow the hell up and learn the difference between the Old and New Testaments.
Everyone's talking about the difference between Moses and Jesus.

It's always special to have a special book and to pick and choose the special parts you especially like.
Why do Christians get to pick and choose the parts of their book they support, but Muslims don't?
Because the book explicitly says things have changed.
For the record, the Koran is basically the exact opposite of the Bible. The Koran starts with peace and tolerance and gets progressively more violent and hateful. The Bible moves in the opposite direction. So if you assume that things written later trump things written earlier (as basically every faith does), you get predominately peaceful New Testament Christians and many significantly violent Muslims. Because that's what their holy texts produce.
We could also just look to the lives of the founders of the religions if you prefer going at it that way. Jesus peacefully died a violent death, telling his followers not to harm other to protect him. Muhammad massacred large amounts of people.
But you don't have to agree with that interpretation of the texts, or the stories of the founders, you can just look at the followers of said texts for evidence. Violent Muslims make a lot more headlines than violent Christians for a reason, and it's not media bias. There are a hell of a lot more people reading the Koran who think "this is telling me to be violent" than those reading the Bible who take it that way.
That's not an accident.
That wasn't the case 500 years ago. Christianity through education and enlightenment has undergone significant reforms that Islam has not and needs to, and the people who pretend like it doesn't are FS. All rreligions suck and must be reformed or if I had my way deserted. Islam may be worse in that way, but not by much. The problem is in many countries it is the least reformed of any religion
Christianity's come a long way once it got out from Catholicism, no question.
Hurtful
To be fair, Catholicism's come a long way since then, too. The reformation did all kinds of good, even if some of it took awhile to really take hold.
If the Catholics would just let their priests marry and thus stop molestering so damn much they'd be in pretty good shape.

When the Israelites rampaged through the land that their "god gave them", they just murdered everybody that already lived there. Their victims weren't even offered the chance to convert.
So in a sense, Islam is kinder in that regard.
I'm not Jewish. HTH. But it won't because you are a dumbfuck.
If you don't understand that the old testament is the foundation of the brand of christianity that 95% of Americans follow, then you even more ignorant that I originally thought.
Let me get this straight. There were these people who did a bunch of murdering in the name of Judaism. Then, later on, these other people started a heavily modified version of Judaism called Christianity. And even though Judaism is still a religion, we should consider Christianity to be the religion responsible for the aforementioned murders?
No problem if you want to say that extreme islam has been worse than extreme christianity recently -- but that is like saying that Smallpox has killed more humans than the Spanish Flu. Both diseases have been shitty, and all diseases are shitty, not just the shittiest.
Agreed. All you have to do is Just compare ISIL with those Nigerian Christians.
I hope all these religious fags just keep killing each other. Go on, wipe each other off the map, who gives a shit? If a few atheists have to die, so be it. Far more people get killed every day over their fairytales than those of us who don't waste time reading some guys book. Fuck em all.

This is like if Star Trek nerds and Star Wars nerds started an actual war with each other.
