You must not understand those verses.
Defending one's faith -- and yeah the Old Testament could be harsh as befit the time in which it was written -- is significantly different from seeking out, conquering, destroying and eliminating other cultures and beliefs in order to impose your own.
Have you read the Koran? I consider it the blasphemous and perverse ramblings of a man no less vile than Hitler. But I've read through it.
The Islamic faith is not interested in assimilation or peaceful coexistence. The goal is domination. Force first, but if that doesn't work? Simply overwhelm. By immigration.
Regardless of what the founding fathers may have said in 1776, it's time forever prevent the massive Muslim immigration. Or the country as you know it will not exist for your grandchildren. They will be Islamic or dead.
Again. We agree that the Quran has
more of this, and is more believed to be direct commands from God (Allah) to YOU the everyday adherent of the religion, rather than what He (or other righteous figures) said specific people should do in specific situations, leaving more room for interpretation.
And also that they have never gone through a reformation as has Christianity to say "Yeah, well, that's just how they talked back then. Don't actually stone them to death, drive swords through everyone's hearts, mutilate their livestock, and burn their village rubble. That part's just a 'metaphor'".
But how is commanding doing all that awful shit to a
neighboring city in Deuteronomy 13:12-18 "protecting your religion" in any way significantly different than what Allah commands in the Quran?
I'm not sitting here saying that Christians interpret that scripture the same way that Muslims interpret the Quran and the hadith, which is entirely the point I was trying to make from the beginning.
