Alexandra, we both know that’s not true.  The Pentateuch describes God as telling the Hebrews to slaughter Canaanites (though it was usually the Hebrews who got beat up pretty bad).  It’s a classic case of people wanting to believe that ‘God’s on our side’ and writing history accordingly.  But that’s the Bible as history.  It’s all past tense.  The OT doesn’t tell anyone to go out and kill unbelievers, or wage war to spread ‘the faith’.  It simply doesn’t.

But the Quran does, and that’s why Islam is dangerous.  Sure, there are plenty of Muslims who don’t take it seriously, or who explain it away.  But if only a tiny %age follow its precepts, there’s serious trouble.  We’ve learned this the hard way in the UK.
