Paris Has Just Been Culturally Enriched

But then they weren't exactly following Christian Scripture then, were they? So these are the evil actions of men, not men following the teachings of Jesus or his Apostles. Christians are clearly commanded to leave people be to their own demise if they don't want to receive The Gospel.

Matthew 10:14 - "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet."

Compare that with ..

Qur'an (8:39) - “And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone"

Qur'an (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day"

Qur'an (9:5) "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them..."


I could go on and on and on. There's lots more where that came from in The Qur'an and Hadiths.

I think the Bible and the Quaran are the best books ever written - because they mean whatever the fuck the reader wants them to mean.

And I don't know, the pope and archbishops condoning genocide certainly counts as following Christianity to me - at least the flavor known as Catholicism.

As for Hitler and the Nazis, he says some things in which he hates the Church and some in which shows he is a Catholic. Whether or not he did, there were certainly a ton of Catholics who supported the Holocaust as well as German Protestants.

Whether or not they found their inspiration from direct scripture quotes is a bit silly. They definitely thought they were Christians and there are definitely verses that condone killing. Of course I could quote them, but you'll just say it's not meant to be taken literally - even if I find some members of the NDH or Catholic church using them. So essentially you've set up something impossible to prove - the perfect no true scotsman.
