Could it be confirmation bias, William? The Bible commands the killing of idolaters, apostates, and witches, just as the Quran does. The Quran states that it is Judaism and Christianity written in Arabic. The bloody Crusades, blessed by popes and bishops, were not violations of Christianity. Antisemitism has its roots in the Bible. To be appreciated and understood, religious scriptures must be read in their proper historical context. Their use to promote political agendas is the cause of much suffering.
Forgot to mention, the Muslims believe that the Quran was written by Muhammad, an illiterate camel driver and thief, not from Christian and Jewish sources in fact in Medina, he had the entire tribe of Quaryza, a Jewish tribe. banu Quaryza, beheaded because he wanted their wealth, well it doesn't say exactly that in the Quran, but one can read between the lines.
Yeh I guess I forgot the slaughter of the Amelkites and Jericho, and the command by Moses to his brother Aaron to gather his cuthroats and slip through the tents at night slitting the throats of half the tribe, because they laughed at him and reject his story about god giving him commandments (not just 10, but 613 of them in Leviticus, but after that there is nothing said or done forcing people to convert, in fact Judaism eschews conversion.
The Quran does not state that it is Judaism and Christianity written in Arabic.
I have studied the Quran, and it is cribbed from Judaism and Christianity, but that actually took place during the Umayyad and Abassid Dynasties.
What the writers of the Quran and hadiths did was to legitimize themselves by incorporating aspects of Judaism and Christianity into it.
IMLO. Muhammad was a moon worshiper, The pre Muhammad Arabs worshiped al Lihah (the moon, contracted into Allah), the vestiges of that are seen atop minarets, the Turkish flag and other flags as the New Moon and the planet Venus (al Uzza) as a star. The worshiped three planets, but Venus was chief. Salman Rushdie wrote about it and has a death fatwa on his head.
But there is nothing in the Quran that states it is Judaism and Christianity writen in Arabic.
The passing mention, a nod to Christianity is a woman named Miriam, who is seduced by the Angel Gabirel appeaing as a handsome and glowing man, and her giving birth to Issa.
The idea of a son of god being Crucified is abhorrent to Islam, their messiah or mahdi is yet to come.,but you will know the hour and the day, when all of the Jews are wiped out in a final pogrom, Book sahih 1295/1296 book 56, hadith 139 al Bukhari, also para 7, article 7 of the HAMAS covenant.
"The stone will cry out, there is a Jew behind me, kill him" Quran 32: 26.35 I believe.
I don't have to read religious scripures in their proper context when I have examples in front of me at this moment, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Malyasia, Indonesia, Libya, Morocco, and even Egypt and Gaza/WestBank.
