This whole world will reap what it sows to the children.

In the Koran....

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet "'the Unbelievers"' in fight, smite at their necks. Behead them! and the Muslims are commanded to initiate the fight} 002.216 - 009.039 - throughout the earth} 004.101 - 004.100

That's all I need - to know the Koran is not holy. As for Christianity - there is not one single sentence that exists in the whole New Testament that teaches humans to be violent with each other. Not one.

This whole world will reap what it sows to the children.

You can blame any part of mankind for bloody violence - but not the sole supreme authority of all of Christianity - because you can not produce a single sentence from the New Testament that teaches humans to be violent with each other.

War or peace. It is a choice.

Peace allows prosperity to flourish - war brings sorrow and destruction.

In the Koran...

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

005.033 THE PUNISHMENT of those who "'wage war"' against Allah and His Messenger is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet. - {meanwhile - It is the Muslims who are commanded to initiate the fight} 002.216 - 009.039

The tree is known by its fruit

By the way - your Koran mentions the name Israel - but not the name Palestine.

I know these things are hard - but the Truth is always better.

God created the Truth.
