.. Most in America don't recall, but...

1Sa 17:10 And the Philistine (Goliath) said,
I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man,
that we may fight together.

1Sa 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog,
that thou comest to me with staves? And the
Philistine cursed David by his gods.

1Sa 17:44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me,
and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air,
and to the beasts of the field.

1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword,
and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts,
the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand;
and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee;
and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air,
and to the wild beasts of the earth;
that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

1Sa 17:51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine,
and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him,
and cut off his head therewith.
And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

may we learn from His-tory....

Are you a liberal? A little misplaced 'moral equivalence' goes a long way.

God did indeed lead historic Israel against the Phillistines. But He surely did not instruct them (or us on a going-forward basis) to slay those who would not become Israelites (or now Christians). Subtlety of reasoning is obviously not your forte, but can you see -- oh maybe -- a small difference between the God of History and the Mohammedan fraud?
