“...Unconsciously, perhaps, many Christians consider Islam to be a kind of dark shadow of their own faith, with the ugly words of the Koran standing in absolute contrast to the scriptures they themselves cherish. In the minds of ordinary Christians - and Jews - the Koran teaches savagery and warfare, while the Bible offers a message of love, forgiveness, and charity. For the prophet Micah, Gods commands to his people are summarized in the words act justly, and love mercy, and walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). Christians recall the words of the dying Jesus: Father, forgive them: they know not what they do. But in terms of ordering violence and bloodshed, any simplistic claim about the superiority of the Bible to the Koran would be wildly wrong.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
