Most Muslims don't strickly follow the teachings of Islam. The majority only follow the parts they like.

The Quran teaches violence against non Muslims.
It is there in black and white.
You know it is there.
You cannot deny it.
It even teaches Muslims to lie to non Muslims because being deceitful for Allah is not a sin.............as long as it is advancing the caused of Islam.

I don't subscribe to your interpretation. Have you personally ever discussed theism and theology with a Muslim?
Originally posted by Dasa FMF here are just a few verses from the Quran inciting violence.
I reality there are 164 violent verses in the Quran.
You asked for evidence well here it is.
How many of you have actually taken the time to read the Qur’an and see what it says? You might be surprised at what you find. I wish it weren’t so, but I find it hard to believe that Islam in its ...[text shortened]... em in this world. and in the everlasting life the punishment of the fire awaits them….”

So the bible is not of your concern! Not all of it anyway...
Do you consider all of the bible as true? Now you say no. Some can be excluded.

The Holy Bible is inspired of God. However, some parts, like what satan said to deceive Eve, is not entirely true.
Some things have been superseded and no longer apply. The ten commandments were written by the finger of God and not Moses and therefore will never be superseded in this age or the age to come.

So you dismiss the ten commandments because they are the Mosaic Law only and doesn't concern christians...
Okay, I see. Some parts of the bible is okay, other parts is not.

[b]The Ten Commandment apply to every man, you and me, and everyone, regardless of religious or non-religious belief. [/b]
But you don't support the verses that say if your son argues with you and calls you an idiot, you are supposed to kill him? I don't expect you follow THOSE verses.
