That pales in comparision to what we see coming from the Koran. Not even in the same ball park.
But....the real thing is what we are seeing today.
Okay, since you criticized me for not having read the Bible even though you seem to have not read it yourself:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...13&version=NIV
"12 They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. 13 All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman."
2 Chronicles 15: 12-13
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...2&version=NASB
20 “He who sacrifices to [r]any god, other than to the Lord alone, shall be [s]utterly destroyed.
Exodus 22
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...0&version=NASB
2 “If there is found in your midst, in any of your [a]towns, which the Lord your God is giving you, a man or a woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, by transgressing His covenant, 3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the heavenly host, which I have not commanded, 4 and if it is told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly. Behold, if it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil deed to your gates, that is, the man or the woman, and you shall stone them to [b]death.
Deuteronomy 17:2-5
Next time, actually read up before you claim something.

So, now that you have been educated, you can't about the Qu'Ran instructing Muslims to kill non-believers because the Bible does the same thing.
in regard to the original theme of this thread, christianity as an organized religion is as responsible for bloodshed as are radical islamists. state sponsored terrorism, or rationalized violence ultimately still belongs to the same set as individual terrorism.
I've read both. I highly doubt you have read the Q'uran in its entirety.
Since I think that both are full of hooey, I can say that I found both to contain rather repulsive amounts of violence.
Quite frankly, I don't see much point in trying to say which is more or less violent. They both are violent, and both little more than the delusional ramblings of bronze age herders.
If it makes you happy to think one is less violent, by all means, I will readily accede the bible is, since that is your favorite theory, as long as you acknowlege the Christian bible is violent. It doens't matter to me, either way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-huntA witch-hunt is a search for witches or evidence of witchcraft, often involving moral panic,[1] or mass hysteria.[2] Before 1750 it was legally sanctioned and involving official witchcraft trials. The classical period of witchhunts in Europe and North America falls into the Early Modern period or about 1480 to 1750, spanning the upheavals of the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War, resulting in an estimated 40,000 to 60,000 executions[3]--not including a million Cathars who were declared to be witches.
Perhaps the most heinous indictment against supposed witches began early in the thirteenth century as Pope Innocent III declared the Cathars, numbering almost a million, to be "witches" and brought Christian forces against them to wipe out every last one: man, woman, child.[4][5]
Modern African Christians are still killing witches even today. That stuff is gruesome, so I will spare you the pictures.
