Quran vs Bible

An interesting and entertaining video:

This is probably enough to make a Biblethumper's head explode.

The Dutch are so less enlightened than we.

Having been to the Netherlands dozens of times over the past 40 years, I've grown very fond of the Dutch people. Friendly, gracious, tolerant and humorous. Good folk.

Too funny. Someone should do the same in our Bible Belt.

Indeed they treated Florence and me very well, we enjoyed the times we were there.

The film did point out the error of following the Old Testament as most of it was based on tribal laws much the same as Sharia Law is, or Wahhabi is. None of the three has any place in today's society.

Does the Quran have any revisionist scripture, such as the New Testament scriptures especially the life of Christ with its "turn the cheek" mantra?

Not to my knowledge and it still thinks women are second class people. I don't believe that twelve should be the age of consent.

As to the New Testament look in the first book of John, Chapter 4, verse 8. It was more than 'turn the other cheek'.

What do you mean by "it"? Can an "it" "believe"? Perhaps you mean that doctrine prescribing the subjugation of women can be found in the Quran and that some Muslims practice it. That's very true.

As it happens, the same sorts of things can be found in the Bible and both ultra-conservative Jews and fundamental Christians believe and practice all that too.

Of course, it's also true that there many Jews, Christians and Muslims who firmly reject those teachings but it's not much fun to acknowledge that fact.

Where in the New Testament? I reject the Old Testament totally.

I never said anything about the New Testament. Also, not all Christians reject the OT as you do.
