There are many passages in the Bible that are abhorently violent and many passages in the Quaran that call for peace.
this is what a person with a lot more knowledge than me said about this subject

It appears to me that at one time Christianity acted, in the past, the way Islam is acting now.
It seems more that those who want to exact revenge or gain power simple do what has always been done with religion. They use it to their advantage.
If all religion could be laid to rest then maybe all would be better. As for now, however, we have what we have.
So i conclude.
That IS history. Are you kidding me?! Those are the core believes of the Islamic faith. Muhammad, the leader, founder, and prophet of Islam wrote that. I don't care about geopolitical circumstances when you have the MAIN GUY of Islam writing ALL of that.
And you are right. The Quran is peaceful in the first half, however as it goes on, the worst it gets. And in the Quran it says that if there is a contradiction, the verse that comes later is the right one.
Jesus was a hippy, Muhammad was a warlord pedophile. Where is the comparison?!?!?!
I don't care about the past. 99% of terrorism last year was explicitly by MUSLIMS. Not Buddhists, or christians, or Jews, or atheists. NO! M-U-S-L-I-M-S.
