    I remember someone studying Koran vs. “the” bible and showing that even the text is more genocidal than the Koran. This was on NPR some number of years ago; pretty easy to find. Of course, apologists for xtianity and/or “Judeo-Xtian values” (lol), will not want to hear this.

    Of course, all three Abrahamic religions are tied to “the” bible, so I’m not sure it’s all that relevant, but…definitely a lot of xtians need to know.

      That’d be impossible, I’ve read the Bible in my childhood quite a lot and I’m usually familiar with bad places people bring up.

      With Quran it’s like the pool is much bigger, many such quotes from it I occasionally hear\read are new to me, and I’ve also been consulted by a few people who are (but mostly were), well, Muslim.

      And while it’s not a good thing religiously for Muslims to translate it, plenty of translations exist.

      So I think you should stop lying.

      so I’m not sure it’s all that relevant, but…definitely a lot of xtians need to know.

      You are talking out of your ass.

            Well, I’d appreciate it if you retract such statements like I’m lying, talking out of my ass, etc. What I was talking about is completely a thing, as you can see from the link.

              I won’t, because you are lying and talking out of your ass, and from your link I can only see that someone wrote an article supporting in tone some position.

              There are a few specific obviously false statements there, of the “religion of peace” and “clean Wehrmacht” kind, which Muslims and Nazis tell to justify their ideology, about Jihad specifically. Like telling “it’s a widespread myth” about something which is not a myth. Nobody argues that Jihad as a concept is wider than “holy war against infidels”, but that is by far the most common meaning among Muslims.

              I’ve seen plenty of articles supporting one or another position on many subjects, sometimes opposite to each other on the same thing. I’ve also written plenty of school essays rotating my positions on subjects depending on how bored I was, I’m sure you have done that too.

              Quran is simply much bigger than Bible, and based on it, so almost every cannibalistic place in the latter has a parallel just as bad in the former, but not the other way around.
