    The Qur'an or the Bible - which one is more violent?

    Bible:

    1. In Arabic Jihad means "Fight against the struggle" and not "Holy war". Anyway, for the argument sake. Now if we think Jihad mean fight for the cause of God then Jihad actually started with the Bible!

    "All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, WERE TO BE PUT TO DEATH, whether small or great, man or women." [2 Chronicles, 15:13 from Niv]

    2. Real Terrorism and Pedophila with a 3 years girl:

    "They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded moses, and killed every man...Now kill all the boys (innocent kids). And kill every women who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." [Numbers 31:7, 17-18]

    kill everything that "breathes" from human and animals!

    "However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, DO NOT LEAVE ALIVE ANYTHING THAT BREATHES." [Deut, 20:16]

    The Jewish soldiers were commanded by "God" in the Bible to keep the woman children (little girls) for themselves! In addition, they commanded to kill every woman that hath know a man by lying with him. My question, HOW THESE SOLDIERS IN THOSE DAYS KNOW IF THE GIRLS ARE VIRGIN OR NOT? Simply they verify it by raping them and if the Jews discovered that they are non-virgins then they killed them as they commanded by "God". BUT THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS IS THAT THE BIBLE IMPLY THAT GOD IS A PEDOPHILE HIMSELF! God of Israel is a Pedophila?

    Jews Holy scripture Talmud made it more clear. Even they raped a 3 years girl!

    "The Tannaitic Midrash Sifre to Numbers in §157 comments on the above quoted COMMANDMENT OF MOSES TO KILL THE MIDIANITE WOMEN AS WELL AS THE MALE CHILDREN.." [The Talmud]

    "..According to the Tannaite Rabbis, Moses therefore had ordered the Israelites to KILL ALL WOMEN OLDER THAN 3 YEARS AND A DAY, Because they were "suitable for having sexual relations..." [The Talmud]

    3. Sucking infants were executed by the ten thousands!

    "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; BUT SLAY BOTH MAN AND WOMEN, INFANT THEM AND SUCKING, ox and sheep, camel and ***." [1 Samuel, 15:3]

    "And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, TWO THOUSAND FOOTMEN, AND TEN THOUSAND MEN OF JUDHA." [1 Samuel, 15:4]

    **Rape, Murder and pillage at Jabesh-Giled in Judges 21:10-24

    ***here Israelites attack a nation only for collecting some virgin girls as sex slaves and later they marry them. Its actually rape!

    4. Killing the righteous before the wicked!

    "And say to her: 'This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its scabbard AND CUT OFF FROM YOU BOTH THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED." [Ezekiel, 21:3]

    "Because i am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north." [Ezekiel, 21:4]

    "Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its scabbard; it will not return again." [Ezekiel, 21:5]

    5. Cutting the hands and feet and hanging the alive bodies until they DIE:

    "So David gave an order to his men, and they killed them. THEY CUT OFF THEIR HANDS AND FEET AND HANG THE BODIES BY THE POOL IN HERBON. But they took the head of ish-Bosheth and buried it in Abner's tomb at Herbon." [2 Samuel, 4:12]

    6. Happy to kill children! Being "Blessed" by kill children:

    "Happy shall He be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." [Psalm, 137:9 from Kjv]

    "How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock." [Psalm 137:9 Nasb]

    I wanna ask my Christian friends whether they should feel happy to dash a child against the rocks!

    7. Pregnant womens were ripped open in Bible!

    "The people of Samaria Must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, THEIR PREGNANT WOMEN RAPPED OPEN BY SWORD." [Hosea, 13:16]

    8. 42 Innocents children were killed using Wild Bears by Prophet Elisha for a funny reason! [2 Kings, 2:23-24]

    Its amazing, indeed!

    Islam:

    ***What Islam says about the terrorism?

    "Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress Limits: for God loveth not transgressors." [Quran, 2:190]

    "But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God, for He is One that hearth and knoweth (all things)." [Quran, 8:61]

    "And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion of God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdodrs." [Quran, 2:193]

    "Say, 'The Truth is from your LORD': Let him who will believe, and let him who will reject it..." [Quran, 18:29]

    Christians and Jews don't proactively kill because some people don't believe the same way as they do. The Bible has violence in it, but we learn from history and "The Church" in general has undergone many reformations. Most significantly the 'Separation of Church and State.' I believe it is time for a reformation in the religion of ISLAM...to abolish the SHARIA LAW which punishes people who don't think like them or have the same belief in a singular ALLAH. Who else thinks a Reformation is in order here? well? It probably cannot happen because the Quran is Political. Maybe they cant change their book, but the free-thinking Muslims should be able to decipher violence from love and genuine concern for ones neighbor. Islam as a faith is probably okay so long as it doesn't not affect others violently. My friends are who they are and I can't hold their faith against them, just as they do not hold it against me. Coexist is a good thing, but not if one takes up arms against another.....thats no coexisting, thats just hate.

    The Bible contains historical wars and violence, the past, so that mankind learn and do not repeat it. That is one of the messages of the Gospel. Agape-love your neighbor and build world peace (Luke 2:14), that the message the Bible is teaching the world. If someone does violence, it is against the teachings of Jesus and un-Christian like. The agape-love teachings of Jesus is the highest in quality and quantity exemplified by Jesus and His prophets/apostles. It is called the Golden Heart or Supreme Golden Rule because agape-love comes from inside as part of our nature instead of simply following a rule out of fear.

    Name the top five humanitarian organizations in the next one minute, and study their history, and you will find them all of Christian origin, such as the Red Cross and Salvation Army. Thus your facts bear the truth of the Bible benefits to the world.

    The Quran such as jihad chapter 9 is currently still active command, at least as viewed by quite a few Muslims. That is why we see so much violence around the world by Muslims such as in Sudan.

    It's actually irrelevant about the thickness of the volumes in their present form(s). You'd have to compare the ORIGINAL documents, and given that they were written in different languages, and by different authors with different sized handwriting, it would be virtually impossible to measure between the two as to the actual "size" of the books.

    What's more important is asking which group uses their book to promote and act out violence against others today? The answer to that is radical extremist Muslims.

    I know you don't get it.

    ____________________

    Your conclusion makes absolutely no sense. Muslims do not believe in the Jesus of the Bible, since the Jesus of the Koran was only a prophet.

    Christians do not in any way believe in the Koran.

    They are both abhorrent and should be banned in developed countries.

    Quran -

    "4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them."

    Bible -

    "13:15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

    13:16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again."

    There is no violence in either.

    Some can choose to interpret verses in different ways.

    Some verses are slightly abstract, while others may take it literally.

    Like the art in: paintings, poems, language in general.

    According to gospel Jesus came not for peace but to spread terror through sword

    Matthew 10:34

    I am not saying that Jesus said that but whoever wrote it pointed toward him.

    It isn't a question of which book has more violent verses. What matters is which religion seeks to emulate those violent verses in real life.

    The Bible is the word of God. The koran is the word of Mohamad. There are many things in the Koran that came from the bible. Mohamad even mentions that he is the comforter. The is why Jesus says take heed that no man decieves you, for many shall come saying I am christ and shall deceive many. Many are decieved. The Koran says that it comes to confirm the words of the bible yet in contradicts that by denying that Jesus is the son of God.

    I only looked up the first two examples Shine gave, and the first one was completely inaccurate. Second of all, how many "extremists" do you see amongst Jews? There's no violence among themselves, only to protect their tiny country in the midst of enemies who are far richer and who have more soldiers. There is no way that you can look at the world and honestly say Jews/Christians are more violent. How often do you hear Christian movements going out and killing people? How often do you hear Jewish movements going out and killing people? NONE! Because they don't. The Dark Ages occurred, yes, but that was Catholics, NOT Christians (and for those of you who say they're the same, they're not, do some research please). Even extremist Jews and Christians don't act out violence, Jihad is something acknowledged BY MUSLIMS that means a struggle or fight against the non-believers. Anybody who actually pays attention to the news will agree. There's civil wars constantly, domestic violence occurs amongst 56% of Iraqis, beheadings just for not being an extremist, torture even amongst other Muslims, ISIS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! LOOK AT ISIS!!! When do you hear about any other mass murderings and brutality amongst ANY OTHER religion??? You just don't. ISIS has managed to stay in headlines up to multiple times a month this year, and for those of you who say, "Well ISIS has nothing to do with religion." Then why is it that their goal is to establish an extreme caliphate (a government ruled by religion)? Why is it that they are killing Shia? Why is it that they are killing Jews and Christians? Oh, it's because their Quran tells them to. So it is settled: It is clearly in the name of religion, making Islam #1 for violence!
