Scripture comparison is simplistic and narrow

Ali, obviously you are creating a simplistic comparison that has no value whatsoever in reality. Although there is a discussion to be had about the passages in all holy books, Christian, Jewish and Muslim, the clear consequences are how they are borne out in practice in this day and age.

No one disputes that the admonitions you reference are abhorrent but I don't think you can agree that Jews or Christians go around implementing them en masse. The same cannot be said, tragically, of the followers of Islam. Thankfully, despite such horrific dictates, for the most part civilized peoples know better than to obey the decrees, unfortunately, many Muslims in this day and age, do not feel the same way.

Making such equivalencies does not add to the argument, We cannot completely ignore what we all know is the reality of Muslim terrorism committed in the name of Islam.

Deal with the facts yourself before your accuse anyone of not fact checking.
