Yes there are hundreds of differences

Reader comment on item: CAIR Distributes 100,000 Korans; Overtly Proselytizes
in response to reader comment: Bible or Koran - is there any difference

Submitted by P C Mani (United States), Sep 20, 2009 at 23:35

HistoryWriter seemed to imply that there is no difference between the Bible and Quran when it comes to violence. Chapters can be written on the differences but I will mention only a few:

-- Protagonists of the Bible are also not trying to establish a new system of law and culture among their followers.

-- Bible can be translated in the language of the followers without losing its authenticity. This seemingly minor change, allows the converts to read the Bible and evaluate the meaning.

-- Bible preachers, though not perfect, are not bragging that their religion is the fastest growing religion of the world.

-- Bible is not a parallel political system. Not in practice at least.

-- The Bible following countries have a lot better track record in terms of rights of religious of minorities than the Quran following countries.

-- Unlike Quoran following countries, Bible following countries usually are not 99+ percent Christian.

-- Bible following cultures have no rules related to apostacy.

-- Bible following cultures produced secular philosophers like Marx, Russel, Nietzsche, and Santayana. Such philosophers have not yet come from the Quranic cultures.

The list can go for ever.
