I also take exception, Kadath, to what you said earlier. It is impossible to argue that the Old Testament doesn't say that, but I know of no large scale movement (or even single preachers) who are telling people to go kill anyone.

And Mojo_PeiPei is right: the central tenent of Christianity is to love your enemy and turn the other cheek, which I KNOW you won't find in the Koran.

I honestly don't understand what you are taking exception to. Christianity has flaws, just like Islam. The problem, as is always the case, is that the interpretation is flawed. People are screwing up God's word. I like the idea that the main tenet of Christianity is love your enemy and turn the other cheek, but I know many Christians who would disagree with your interpretation. Our President, for example.
