I'm not denying that Mohammed was a man of war, but so was Soloman, David, many saints and so forth. They lived in violent times and forght-but so did many Christians. Indeed when Christianity was at its zenith was one of the most violent times in Europes history.

However your claim that most of the Koran is about war is false-I've actually been reading it recently (Islam Awareness week at uni and they gave me a copy) and its suprisingly bagin.

Big differences. The Bible depicts violence and that violence was tribal in nature and for a fixed period of time.

The Quran exhorts violence against all non-Muslims/infidels for an eternal amount of time. In fact, it is a duty for Muslims to commit jihad.

It is not a duty of Christians to commit murder.

Christians never followed the words of Jesus to commit violence, while Muslims commit jihad as commanded by Allah and Muhammad.
