Why do conservatives pick out contradictions or bad parts of the Koran but not bible?

Why are modern neocons obsessed with conspiracies about Islam and only cherry pick the bad parts while dismissing or ignoring all the insane/contradictory/brutal parts of the Bible?

True, there are muslim terrorists, but the Ulster Volunteer Force wasn't exactly secular lol

Update:

We all know Islam is used for evil, so is/has Christianity

    Most people do not go about making an argument by presenting the other side for you. Just a thought.

    Second, I will tell you, the first time I read the Bible, I thought it was the most Violent Sexist piece of literature I had ever read. But relating a story of historical fact is different from instructing your followers to "kill the infidel"

    The Bible's stories of war and such are presented more in the light of what will happen if you DON'T follow instructions. Every time the Jews were defeated in battle, it was because they failed to follow instructions. But the Bible does NOT instruct us to carry on that way now. Not even close. In fact, it tells us to return hatred with love, if we expect GOD to show Us any love.

    There aren't any actual true contradictions in the bible.

    Plus, the only people stoning gays and rape victims today are Muslims.

    It's just propaganda; same as was used by the nazi party. The fact is, most conservatives are not glaringly ignorant.

    Considering the practice of female genital mutilation, your choice of the term, cherry pick, is inappropriate.

    Because liberals do it too. When was the last time you met a conservative Catholic?

    For the same reason that liberals can't differentiate between conservative and religious.
