How wonderfully politically correct!
Islam's "sacred" texts cannot be "interpreted". They are immutable.

@PBuck0145 Then neither can Christianity's "sacred" texts. Are you ready to style all Christians as terrorists? Are you ready to style all Christians as mindless literalists, when in fact, likely less than 20% hold those views?

@PBuck0145 The authorship of most of the OT and NT are traditional attributions or unverified internal claims. There are exceptions, but way fewer than most Christians tend to think. The gospels and the pentateuch are great examples of books widely thought to be written by a specific person but the authors are actually unknown. The Bible is also commonly referred to as "god's word" last I checked and according to how I was raised in the faith, it is verbally inspired by god even if human authors were used. I don't see how that's substantively different than the notion that god used Mohammed to pen the Qur'an.

No, education does not guarantee that one is not an asshat or has workable ideologies. It is still greatly preferable to religious indoctrination however.

@mordant Please do not assume that I am a supporter of Christianity. I simply observe that in current times, it is much less dangerous than is Islam.

I fully agree with your second paragraph.

@PBuck0145 I agree Islam is more dangerous than Christianity overall, though we may well see the cause of that differently.

I did not figure you were defending Christianity, other than putting it on a more elevated inherent basis. I think Christianity has done better by itself than Islam, but different accidents of history might have flipped that around the other way. There's nothing less arrogant or authoritarian or patriarchal or toxic in the Bible vs the Qur'an. And at particular times in history, Christianity has had its share of blood on its hands. Indeed, the current pedophile ring known as the RCC is a modern example of violence in the name of god.
