There is nothing peaceful in a religion that calls for the killing of children and women and whole towns, and anyone who worships a different god. Think I'm talking about the Quran? Nope - talking about the Bible.

Considering Muslims are not supposed to attempt to convert people, much like Freemasonry it is the sole decision of the person...
How do you suppose that those who reject Islam are a target?
Where do you get those Verses & who defined them?
Did you come to those conclusions yourself?

That's bull. And you know why? Is 2015 and Christianity has adapted perfectly in the new society and mentality. They had their share of horrors and suppression but that ended long long ago. Islam is still in the dark ages.
BTW, I'm atheist so I have no affiliation to any religion.
but the fanatical Christians pretty much begin and end at internet rants over abortion and breasts on TV

And there are a significant number of Muslims who aren't going around beheading people either. What's your point?
There is a large culture of devout Muslims who aren't hurting anyone. There is a sub-culture of angry, violent, controlling people who want some kind of revenge. It's not the religion that's the problem. It's that sub-culture.
See, that's the problem, it's sub-culture of Islam. Meaning Islam is the root of that culture. I agree there are millions upon millions of peaceful Muslims in the world, but as many have said, there's not enough moderate Muslims standing up and trying to REMOVE this violent sub-culture from their ranks. They're not fighting against them. They're sitting quietly by as people who claim to be in the same faith run about beheading people, razing villages, selling slaves, oppressing women, and generally just being backasswards.

The Bible hasn't changed though. It's just as violent as it ever was. People changed. People are the problem, not the religion. And most people who follow Islam are peaceful.
You mean this little gem?

And the verse after that?
The little one about repentance & forgiveness?
Doesn't fit your narrative of Islam you say?
Hardly surprising imo!!!
Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
and somehow that justifies the acts of Islamic terrorism and the deaths of 2000?
