    Holy land my ass. Where does it say it’s okay to kill people in their holy texts? They literally have one commandment against murder (thou shall not kill. Anyone? Anyone?). Genocide much?

    As far as Islam goes, murder is again a top sin. In the Qur’an. How can you justify killing people?

    I do agree thought that this is about infighting in the region and religion is a pretext to justify atrocities.

      The Biblical story of the battle of Jericho certainly seems to condone mass murder of civilians if they’re of the wrong ethnicity. I’m less familiar with the Quran but I’ve read many times that it condones killing in certain contexts as well. All Abrahamic religions are rooted in barbarism.

        Abrahamic religions have always been extremist in their nature. If you read history before Christianity you could already see these people were batshit.
