You can believe there's no connection between what people believe, and what they do, but you're wrong.

Where in the New Testament does Jesus tell his followers to behead, rape, kill, enslave or persecute anyone?

Jardine, if you think no Christians read, believe or act upon the charming contents of the Old Testament, then you are very naive.

There is no proof at all that Jesus or his followers discounted the contents of the Old Testament at all.
How can you allow for the violence throughout the Bible, and make excuses or reasons for those passages, when you won't with the Quran?

However, I can cherry pick from the bible too.

Matthew: 10:34 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Psalm 137:9 " Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones"

Further to the point being claimed that Islamic scriptures contain calls to violence and the suggestion that violence is against the character of the Christian God (or his son who is supposedly the same).

http://biblehub.com/2_kings/2-24.htm Children mock a prophet for his baldness who then curses them and bears come out of the woods and maul/tear to pieces 42 children

http://biblehub.com/leviticus/20.htm A number of decrees about punishments for various things including death penalties which thankfully are no longer carried out by followers of that god.

JKJ,

"You can believe there's no connection between what people believe, and what they do, but you're wrong."

Tell me the connection between this and the Christian minister who presided over it?

Which of Christ's precepts were being upheld by Morrison in his persecution of desperate people.

That's if you're saying that because of what Christ said (to his Jewish brethren) - that excuses the antithetical actions of those who call themselves Christian.

Robert, Suse,
Yes but the Catholic church had inquisitions to rid Christian Europe of that kind of nonsense:

Over the last 900 years Christians have gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid internecine conflict and in the 21st century are bending over backwards to accommodate Muslims, Gays, Liberals and every sect of weirdos and fruit loops going around.
"Moderate" Muslims in the West could easily purge their communities of fanatics, they could simply drag them from their back yard mosques and bookshops and apply the boot to their rear ends, they could also reject the conversion of psychologically unstable people.
This will never happen because there's no such thing as a "moderate", that's a label invented by non Muslim Liberals and Leftists, Al Qaeda and IS sympathisers are no more or less Islamic than any other follower of Mohammed.
