"If those documents said in a general nature "Allahs curse on the infidels" meaning all unbelievers, I would not take so much issue with it, but the specific mention of Christians and Jews by 'name' takes it into the arena of religious vilification in my view."

Such a distinction makes it OK? Fine if you're Christian - you can vilify pretty much anyone. Or to word it differently, Islam gives less leeway?

“4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.”

“5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

I'm not trying to needle you, but it sure seems you're hedging your bets. It seems many religions require adherents to stomp on the other guy.
