If you read closely, there are significant differences to the things you wrote. Are your Talmud quotes being used as justification for violence? Do the religious authorities acknowledge and agree with the calls to violence? And what have the religious authorities ruled to these verses? Were they abrogated? Are they considered to be the law of the land in Israel?
That is the difference.
1. The Koran teaches violence.
2. Religious scholars have agreed with these violent verses and continue to teach them today.
3. Violence being committed today.
While there are violent verses in the Talmud and the Bible, they are not universal calls to violence and there are no established religious scholars calling for such violence. Not so with the Koran.[/quote]
Ok, lets rehash.
I could paste the thread full of hundreds of verses that promote violence but I won’t do that.
All religions preach violence.
Second, religious scholars in both Judaism and Christianity teach violence according to scripture today.
Here is another.
A Jewish rabbi has issued a book giving Jews permission to murder non-Jews, including babies and children who pose an actual or potential threat to Jews or Israel. Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro, head of the Yitzhar settlement in the occupied West Bank, says: “It is permissible to kill the Righteous among non-Jews even if they are not responsible for the threatening situation.” Shapiro writes in his book The King’s Torah: “If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments…there is nothing wrong with the murder.” Shapiro claims his edict “is fully justified by the Torah and the Talmud.” The anti-goyem edict came in response to the arrest by Israeli police of a Jewish terrorist who confessed to murdering two Palestinians in the West Bank. The terrorist, a US-born immigrant named Yaakov Teitel, also confessed to trying to assassinate leftist Jewish figures
Third, violence is being committed on a daily basis in Gaza whether it is from soldiers or the settlers themselves. Daily. Because of religious teachings from scholars.
Fourth, as I said before, there is NO universal call to violence with Islam. That is only in your head.
