How Abuse in the Name of Theology Misleads Many to Commit Crimes in the Name of God

While it is not improbable in faux Christianesque settings, some have blasphemed in the Name of the LORD by mistranslating the Hebrew Holy Writ and using to to justify historical atrocities; yet as DNM demonstrates here, specifications of acts of violence towards those who are targeted for believing in another Deity appears as an aberation of what the Gospel attempted to deliver as a message of love in belieivng in the Messianic Savior.
The Quranic replacement theology of delivering the 'Darb' to one who does not/did not adhere to the Islamic call to commit these acts of violence in the Quran readily provides the contrast of hatred in the Quran versus the true love of God in the Judeo-Christian Gospel message of sacrificial love one for another.
How does the Quran provide any peace of mind in delivering that kind of message?
