Maybe Isreal wouldn't have to fight back against Palestinians if they weren't constantly being attacked.

And apparently, I'm innocent as long as I don't harm Muslims. Other religions are ok?

1)  So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children.  "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin."  Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

  If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.  (basically the victim of rape getting punished to death)

Genocide/Murder/Rape are all pretty common aswel in the bible.


2) could have happen anywhere but France is one of most active countries against ISIS and other terrorist organisations.

The difference is that it is forbidden for Christians to kill anyone. There are no exceptions, there is not a single sentence in the Bible that allows anyone to kill - not the case in Islam. If a Christian kills, he's not doing it because of his religion, he's doing it against the religion, he's violating it. Muslims are allowed to kill, sometimes they are explicitly told to kill and they do kill in the name of Islam. That's the massive difference.

No, that's not Christianity. According to the Bible, we are all born with a sin, not guilty of something, but this doesn't matter in the topic we're talking about, because Christianity doesn't allow anyone to kill the sinners/guilty. In Islam all babies are born "pure" - they are Muslim ("drawn to Allah" - lol), but since Christian babies "turn" to Christianity, they become guilty of apostasy just like all other non-believers. Simple.

@Italic - that's a flat out lie. Just two examples:

Quran 4:89 - "They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper."

Quran 8:12 - "I will cast terror into the the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip off them."

Just two sentences, two of many. Quran tells Muslims to kill. I know most Muslims aren't psychopaths and don't follow what Islam tells them to do (even if they refuse to acknowledge it), but that doesn't change the fact that this savage crap is a part of Islam - there is no way around it. Just some choose to ignore parts of Islam, unfortunately some don't. Still, there is no such crap in Christianity. I think it's mindblowing that Muhammad wrote this book over half a thousand years after the New Testament was written. One would think that living so much later and having the luxury of availability of the Bible and the message It carries, he'd create something even more modern and advanced. Instead the book is a massive step back and is savage in comparison :/ No idea how he managed to convince so many people to follow it. On the other hand though, scientologists believe in a S-F novel from a very poor S-F writer...

Also:

Quran 4:104 - "And don't be weak in the pursuit of the enemy; if you are suffering (hardships) then surely, they (too) are suffering (hardships) as you are suffering."

Pursuit. Pursuit of enemy. Doesn't sound like "if someone is trying to kill us". Pursuit is no self-defence.

And Tabari 9:69 - "Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us."

And... This can really go on...

It's very logical, you just seem to look at it through rose tinted glasses. They attack in Paris, because there are thousands of Muslims there wanting to take over the country in the name of Islam. The Muslim districts of Paris are breeding grounds for terrorists. They know the city, they can easily organise the attack and hide there later on. It's perfectly logical.

Why would they split power!? Dude, this is the basic tactic of terrorists! They aren't interested in forming a single army to fight a single battle in one place, cause they'd all be killed in a matter of minutes. Instead they can send around 20 soldiers (ooops! Refugees!) to Paris and kill around 200 people. Win. The people they killed aren't useless targets, they managed to spread fear and killed a bunch of infidels. And just think how much money we'll have to spend on protection. Tens if not hundreds milions of euro, that in a normal world would be used to spread welfare, will instead be spent to try and prevent another attack. Such attacks do impact our economies more than they are worth and they are abusing it - it's all basic art of war.

And mind you, Russia has the second most powerful army in the world, so a claim that "their (ISIS') current state of power is not sufficient enough to hold Russia" is kinda funny They will never come close to the power of a fraction of the Russian army, it's gonna take decades even for China to catch up If Russians REALLY wanted to kill ISIS at all cost, nothing on this planet would stop them.

Old testament:

Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)

If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

Not sure why you attack the Quran and close your eyes for the bible.

What is your argument here? Yes, the Bible depicts a rape. Was it ordered by God? No. Was God happy they did it? No. In fact earlier you have a verse that says: "After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord not what he had done for Israel." So clearly this part is talking about a part when the Israelis were lost. Still, I'm going to repeat it - the Bible merely mentions that something happened, it doesn't tell us to do this or says that God was happy they did this.

A side note - the Old Testament is very brutal, that's true. That's probably a reason why the Jews refused to accept Jesus. They were waiting for God to kill their enemies, instead they got a pacifist who was telling them to love the Romans and be kind to everyone  

What's wrong with the first one? You must be playing too many video games, cause a sacrifice does not have to mean killing It can be... I dunno... Bread and wine?

Second quote is Tora. So... yeah, every single of your quotes is more a critique of Judaism than Christianity. This is the Book of Laws, which is sacred for the Jews, but for us Jesus "kinda" made a revision of that stuff and showed what God's laws truely are, so for Christians these Books have rather a historical meaning first and foremost. The Old Testament is brutal and some stuff is somewhat messed up if you ask me. But then again Its status for Jews and Christians is different, even the content of the OT isn't the same and the bottom line is, for Christians the New Testament is where its at  And I don't even want to get started on some hilarious stuff that Jews stick to and the many ingenious ways in which they try to work their way around what is in the OT . To ride the train while sitting on a bottle of water, because God told them they could not travel on Sundays except when traveling on water... Astonishing

I wasn't actually selectively criticizing Islam.

Islamic nations are still in their own version of the dark ages, in reality, All Abrahamic religions have their problems. I was just pointing out the wide spread of severe intolerance in the Islamic countries, not just intolerance to Jews or the West. Intolerance to each "bizarre" concept.

Thank God the west cares less and less about Christianities and live their lives with loose attachments to it.

Islam is also okay with having sex with little girls.
