Response to Mark Brack

I read that you, Mark Brack, read the Quran ... and you found 'Muslim religion to be very anti-Christian and very anti-Jewish' ...
If you actually read the Quran you would have come across the part where the message is 'do not kill innocents'. You also missed the part where it says 'the closest to love among the believers are those who call themselves Christians'
The Quran also states that you cannot force someone to convert and neither can you harm any Jews that do not pose a threat.You also missed the part where it says that a Muslim man can only marry a Jewish, Christian or Muslim woman because they follow the book (the book meaning bible, quran etc)
And if the Muslims hate the Christains and Jews then why was Israel/Palestine more peaceful when it was ruled by Muslims? why did Salahuddin free the Christian prisoners of war? (by the way some of those ungrateful ones came back to fight again) Why did salahuddin treat Jews as equals when the Christians killed every single Jew and Muslim they could find including children?
I'm not Anti Christian or Anti Jewish, but I definitely hate when a group of people do something stupid (like 9/11) and a very ignorant person blames the entire religion (like you).
