[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a good question. There is violence in the Old Testament but [i]not sure the New Testament says to kill, behead, maim anyone in God's name.  [/i][i][b]

I don't think it does either, but despite that, we had the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, slavery, etc.[/quote]

True but the New Testament books never say to kill someone. There is a lot of "turn the other cheek" but no order to fight or kill unbelievers.  Whereas the Quran says things like: 
Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."[/quote]
