Yes! Suseonline it is called selective reading of the Bible, every Christian preacher does it when they give their sermon every Sunday or whenever, you never hear from them the passages you have quoted.

Ojnab,
Look what happened to the Branch Davidians at Waco, the Warren Jeffs/FLDS sect, the Twelve Tribes sect in Bavaria and so on.

There's absolutely zero tolerance of Christian extremism in the West, can you imagine a Christian sect trying to take over a suburb of Brussels or Stockholm the way Muslims have? It is to laugh, they'd be arrested if not gunned down, their children and all their property would be taken away and the ringleaders jailed.
The Russian government is also cracking down on Christian extremism:

Christian extremism is stamped out anywhere it's detected, often with military force, the difference is that in this day and age Muslims will shoot back so the "secular" states won't touch them.

Spindoc, you hit the nail on the head with your expos'e.

Given that interpretations of the Quran look set to continue unchanged, and PC shortsightedness will continue ad infinitum, it would be wishful thinking to not expect more of the same.

"Free speech anyone?"

Both Tony Abbott and Julie Bishop recently advocated protection of free speech. It indeed would be a pleasant surprise if they demonstrated real courage by retracting from their present wimpish inaction, and proceeding with abolition of s18C of the racial discrimination Act, thus fulfilling one of their pre-election promises and -- more importantly -- advancing the national interest.

@Poirot,

<<Morrison in his persecution of desperate people>>

Bulls twang!

Those little darlings of yours are desperate only in the sense that they would do anything to con their way into Oz -- and lest we forget, Monis was one such 'DESPERATE' little darling not so long ago ...how many other Monis's are there in their ranks?

Poirot,
Minister Morrison is to be admired for stopping the boats from coming. Remember you lot and labor said it could not be done. No more arrivals of the con artists and shonks. The man deserves to be honoured. I hope to meet him one day and shake his hand.

The gate crashers held in detention are spoilt brats, whinging because the can't get what they want. They only have to tell the government that they want to go back home and it will be arranged. Best we make their old home look far more attractive than here. We do not want them, they are parasites.

Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence (see http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Bible-Quran-Violence.htm ) , the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran. For more, see
