I don't really know why anyone who is trying to follow the teachings of allah/Yahweh would ever consider themselves a religion of peace. Christianity isn't a peaceful religion, and Jesus was considerably more peaceful than his dad.

Actually I've heard that the qur'an kind of did the reverse of the bible. It starts off good, but eventually goes violent. The bible starts off violent, then becomes better towards the end. Aside from the invention of hell.

Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
