Subject: RE: How to End Racism
Can you find some passages in the Bible that resemble the very vivid horror depicted in the Qur'an passages below. Mutilation, killing, suicide killing, amputation, rape, pillage, etc.

The bible absolutely contains passages as horrific as the ones you have posted. I don't currently have a bible in my possession, so I can't put them here right now. I'll see if I can find some for you online.

To be fair Carol, a lot has been done in the name of Christianity. But, Christianity has progressed and changed to meet the new modern times. Christianity accepts women as equals in society, etc.

Islam, on the other hand, can hardly be said to have shown that same progression. Take the mass stonings that still take place in Iran as one example. Absolutely horrific.


This is not being in the least bit fair. There are almost a billion Muslims in the world, and there are just as many different levels of liberalism and fundamentalism within Islam as there are within the other major monotheistic religions. And there are equally horrific things being done to women and others by some members of the other major monotheistic religions as well.
