A Christian 'fundamentalist' reads the Bible and learns that he must turn the other cheek, forgive others, love his enemies. A Muslim fundamentalist reads the Koran and learns that he must kill without mercy.

Amen. You speak the truth. Those who deny that the Koran preaches violence against non-Muslims are lying to themselves.

Muslims need to repent and accept Jesus, the Christ, God's only begotten Son, as Savior and Lord. Period.

How should Jews interpret the bible's commandment that if a man sleeps with another man's wife both he and the woman shall be put to death? The New Testament might allow for people to forgive the adulterers, but the commandment in the Old Testament/Torah is clear, unambigious, and unequivocal.

I think there's probably the same sort of inclination on the part of many Muslims to set aside some of the calls for Jihad as there is on the part of Jews to set aside the biblically-mandated punishments for crimes like adultery.
