Those Christians were violating Biblical doctrine.
Muslims committing jihad are following Quranic doctrine.
Indeed, it is a religious obligation to commit jihad.
Jesus said he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
Muhammad advocated using the sword against one's enemies.
And, there is nothing in the Old Testament calling for mass death of non-Jews
You're absolutely correct. Where in the Quran is this? I know that I've read it, and I've seen the bit about "beating woman into submission". This is how we have discussions. It's refreshing to not have labeling and name-calling. This proves that you are a reasonable person. And as a Christian (not sure if you are Christian or Jewish, or neither) we are to love our enemies. It may seem naive and tree-hugging, but I do love most of the Muslims that I've met. Not in the sense of....**huge fake smile, and "bless you"**....but I respect their intelligence, and their place in this world. And two of my dearest friends are Jewish. You are correct about the content of the Koran, from what I've read. But it seems to be mostly fringe elements who plot bombings, and murder of innocent people...from all religions.
But my whole point from the beginning was: I am sick and tired of labels. You're either for us, or against us. You're anti-semitic, anti-Christian, or anti-Muslim. It doesn't do any of us, any good. NOTHING, justifies killing innocent people....I don't care which philosophy you follow. And everything isn't black, or white. There are two sides to EVERY story.
