1. Jesus recommends that we gouge out our eyes and cut off our hands to avoid committing sin.
2. Jesus says that disobedient children should be killed.
3. Peter suggested that anyone who did not accept Christ should be killed (not some nebulous, namby-pamby 'death of the soul', but actually, physically killed).
4. It's a good idea to torture people so they can obtain a better resurrection.
Most religions are insanely violent, in thought, deed, or both. It puzzles me that people so often single out Islam.

Because a rabid dog muzzled is for the time being a less urgent threat than one that is not, even if the muzzled dog is bigger and more cunning?
Because it behoofs one to deal with a impending violent crime before an ongoing thought crime?
