@Rajk999 said2nd Chronicles 15:13:
Almost all religions believe in this 'Im right, you are wrong' business, but it is only Islam that promotes hatred and death to infidels. If Islam disappears, then Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and others will live in peace.
"All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman."
-Removed-The Mid-East crisis is more political than religious.
Zionism was popularized (not invented) by Theodor Herzl, An American Jew who wasn't religious and didn't even speak Hebrew.
The holy sites being disputed have more to do with legal, historical and ethical precedent rather than theology. The Israeli government is not concerned with ancient Hebrew texts when enacting policies related Palestinian land.
Don't get me wrong, religion does play a significant part. But the crux of the issue is more political than anything else.
@Rajk999 saidThat was part of a covenant with God that they'd kill non-believers. So take it up with your god.
That is a history of the Jews. Learn to read and understand.
Furthermore: the Old Testament is relevant to practicing Jews. They don't acknowledge the New Testament or the deity of Jesus. So it's more than mere "history" in Judaism.
@divegeester removed their quoted postObviously false.
Why aren't Muslims constantly killing westerners if that were true?
Why is Turkey part of NATO then? Why are they allies with the West instead of plotting their death?
Why do both Russia and the U.S. have embassies in Indonesia? Or Saudi Arabia?
This is incomprehensible ignorance from you.
@vivify saidWrong. King Asa had a covenant with God. This is not a general instruction to kill infidels. Proof of that is that you dont see Jews going around killing or persecuting atheists or unbelievers. The only people who do that are Muslims. All over North Africa people are being starved and persecuted for not accepting Islam.

@vivify saidAre you really that dumb? In Afganistan, Sudan and Yemen non-muslims are being persecuted by a government based on Islamic law.
Obviously false.
