Yes and so we had the middle ages where Christians killed and tortured. however Christians evolved out of that, partly because there is a large section in the Bible which is supportive of peace. i.e the new testament.Quote from bsmeter:
Much of what you quote is also in the Bible and the Torah, infact the Torah allows youto kill "infidels" and marry their 3 year old daughters. You claim to be atheistic, which is a good thing because religion is at the root of most evil that has afflicted humanity throughout the ages. .
The Koran on the other hand has a sentence or two that supports peace and non-violence but pages and pages and pages that actively encourage (or demand) violent Jihad against non-believers.
There is a typically ludicrous liberal/commie idea that if the Muslim nations get richer that all this violence will stop. In fact as they get richer it builds their faith that GOD supports them, and also allows them more time and weapons to kill the unbelievers.
If by chance one of the Araba nations had the power that USA has we would certainly have a world run in the manner of the Taliban, or at best Saudi Arabia, no matter how much slaughter it took to get there.
