Isn't it a waste of time speaking out of context of raw verse, while ignoring current usage? Yeah, both sets are raunchy. Thankfully for us, the bulk of the Judeo-Christian worldview has quietly ignored some of the worst. Unfortunately for them, Allah frowns on such a convenient reading. The practical difference is going to be found in the current state of the religions, the current practices and beliefs and paradigms. It matters not that the Koran (Wade's version, if you will) advocates beating women. What matters is how people react to that passage today. We, the infidels, call it parable. They, the Faithful, call it Word.
Are you talking about the Islamic Fundamentalists, who are a minority within their religion, or the Christian Fundamentalists, who are also a minority within their religion? All religions have fundamentalist sects. In all religions, they make up a small minority.

I, like Pony, would kill "them all". I would define "them all" differently, though, limiting the group to all who participate, help, support, cheer on, and even those who remain silent but perfectly willing to accept the world domination of Islam should the Islamicists prevail. Unfortunately, they don't all wear signifying funny hats.
So we kill them all and let God sort them out? My goodness, Bilmore. You sound an awful lot like an Islamic terrorist. You say Crusade, they say Jihad.

I say, let's call the whole thing off.
