We have, however, debated/discussed/argued the above subjects several times on other threads but I am willing to retread that path if you like.
The violence in the 3,500 year old Old Testament is 'close ended' violence which is 'of its time' and 'era specific'.
Where today are there any 'Amorites' or 'Perizites' for Christians or Jews to go out and slay?
The Quran, however contains over 160 commands for its followers to go out and behead and slay, in addition to other commands to abduct and sell into slavery.
Whilst there have been, and still are, inhuman extremists who claim to be 'Christian', just as there have always been, and still are, inhuman extremists who are atheists, in light of the terrible atrocities being perpetrated over most of the globe by inhuman extremists who claim to be Muslim, it is absolutely ridiculous and infantile to jocularly suggest that any person of other faiths who condemn it or even discuss it, are hypocrites.

The subject of the thread is how you would deal with terrorism if you were leader of the US or EU... Nothing to do with Islam or Jihad
