It seems like the bible is open to interpretation. Why would a loving god make it such when we can end up spending an eternity in hell ?
Thusly, if you are sincere in your question, there exists a vast well of resources from which you can glean your answer. You will have to forgive me if I doubt the sincerity of your question, being that from its initial formation to the present you have had an extensive period of time to utilize these resources yet apparently have not. Thusly, it is rational for me to assume that your question is, in fact, a pretense. As such, I am rather inclined to believe your intention has nothing at all to do with honest and earnest query, but rather to facillitate a sublime motive which is, shall we say, less than positive.

Is it so hard to believe that Allah would have his followers eliminate infidels ?

Originally posted by STANGI did not state you had a hidden agenda. I stated that your question is not sincere. You attempt to make a point, not ask a question. Again, as stated in my previous post, there are a variety of opinions on the matter, all of which can be discerened through simplistic internet searches.

Is it so hard to believe that Allah would have his followers eliminate infidels ?
But, if you insist, the answer to your question is highly (if not entirely) dependent upon your definition of 'Allah'. It is not hard to believe that some persons version of 'Allah' may very well have his followers eliminate 'infidels'. My version of the 'FSM' may very well have his followers eliminate 'infidels'. I fail to see the point. Again, and also as I have stated before, the quotation from the texts to support the position is misrepresentation of the texts as the simplistice 'one liners' fail to convey the principles of their respective passages.

Man, it's very easy to believe that if you want to. It's also easy to believe that Western civilisation is ruled by Satan and should be destroyed. It's easy to believe that Australia is bedevilled by bestiality. All these viewpoints are nourished by ignorance.

Originally posted by STANGOnce again sir, and as I have stated before, I fail to follow your logic. Do you have any logical basis for your position? Further, how is this about 'americans' now? I'd thank you to address my points, being that you specifically requested them.
I'd guess that Americans are more ignorant of others than they are of Americans.
Concordantly, I would suggest you reconsider this statement as I believe the point made by Bosse de Nage has eluded you, being that your response is an example of his point. However this is purely my conjecture and you are welcome to ignore it. I am more interested in the discussion we were having.

If one accepts a God who would kill so many people (or allows their leader to be driven by that God), then one could just as easily accept the killing of infidels ?
For the purpose of clarification, are you attempting to equate the two actions, thereby pronouncing both as illegitimate?
