Jesus said no more judging others, and with regard to stoning in particular, he said he without sin cast the first stone (i.e., nobody). So any Christian citing Old Testament practices that contradict Jesus would just be I guess wrong and not following Christianity as taught in the Bible.[/quote]

As I demonstrated in the second post of this thread, there are Christian pastors prominent enough to share a stage with Republican Presidential candidates who call for killing gays. However, that view is not representative of all Christians. It is almost impossible to discuss "Islam" given the varied practices that exist within the religion. Unfortunately, Saudi and other Gulf funding has spread Wahhabi influence and practices very widely and some of the archaic practices of that brand of Islam have come to represent the religion in the West. ISIS and al-Qaida are both branches of the Wahhabi tree. But, Wahhabism represents only a small portion of the Islamic universe. It is not fair to paint the entire religion with that brush.
