What's the difference?

What's the difference between Muslim terrorists and Christian or other fanatical religious terrorists?

I've been told, though I haven't read it myself, that the Quran directs its followers (Muslims) to kill all infidels.

But the Bible, especially the Old Testament, preaches the same thing, really. Read, the following (For this reference, thank you to The Dark Bible, found at http://www.nobeliefs.com/DarkBible/)

"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;" (Deuteronomy 13: 6)

"Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:8-9)

Of course, the Old Testament is full of stories of how the followers of Moses spent a great deal of energy engaging in fierce genocide against those were were considered unbelievers.

Of course, Christians like to say that Jesus did away with such things when he brought forth a new way of life, a better belief. If that's the case, why is the Old Testament still attached to the New Testament?

Christianity at heart is not that much different from Islam.

o-Both would like to kill you for not believing as they do, at least historically
o-Both would like to force you to believe as they do
o-Both would like you to give up your life for their particular god
o-Both look down on believers of other faiths as inferior peoples (infidels and heretics)
o-Both are uninterested in your opinion
o-Both would like to prohibit you from even expressing or thinking your opinion

The list could go on, of course. I'll give Judaism credit, though. They aren't promoting the deaths of others because of differing beliefs any more insofar as I've heard lately. Frankly, they don't seem to be saying a lot about what to do with unbelievers at all these days. Good on them.

Soooooo, what's the difference? Not much, really. What I mean is, when you strip away the professed litanies of doctrine and their teachings, the activities of both are geared toward one thing only: They look forward to the sterilization of the world in order to make it 100% Christian. Or 100% Islam.

Come to think of it, I get the idea that they are the only two major world religions who still believe in such a thing.
