    The new testament is as garbage as the old. And fanatical Christian's like your self use the same garbage argument time and time again "well that's the old testament" blah blah read your book of guidance. Jesus clearly states he has come to fulfil the law of moses. Why do you think them nut case christian lobbies support israel in oppressing and causing a genocide on the people of palestine. They are the same methods of war in the bible so please do not ask stupid question like bringing you proof of where the bible is practiced.

    Matthew 21:18-19
    18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it,“May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.

    Sounds like a spiteful god!

    Here is what a professor who studied the bible and the quran had to say about which is the real violent book

    As the hijackers boarded the airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, they had a lot on their minds. And if they were following instructions, one of those things was the Quran.

    In preparation for the suicide attack, their handlers had told them to meditate on two chapters of the Quran in which God tells Muslims to "cast terror into the hearts of unbelievers."

    "Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them," Allah instructs the Prophet Muhammad (Quran, 9:5). He continues: "Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites! ... Hell shall be their home, an evil fate."

    When Osama bin Laden declared war on the West in 1996, he cited the Quran's command to "strike off" the heads of unbelievers. More recently, U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan lectured his colleagues about jihad, or "holy war," and the Quran's exhortation to fight unbelievers and bring them low. Hasan is accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, last year.

    Given this violent legacy, religion historian Philip Jenkins decided to compare the brutality quotient of the Quran and the Bible.

    Defense Vs. Total Annihilation

    "Much to my surprise, the Islamic scriptures in the Quran were actually far less bloody and less violent than those in the Bible," Jenkins says.

    Jenkins is a professor at Penn State University and author of two books dealing with the issue: the recently published Jesus Wars, andDark Passages , which has not been published but is already drawing controversy.

    Philip Jenkins, author of 'Jesus Wars'

    Violence in the Quran, he and others say, is largely a defense against attack.

    "By the standards of the time, which is the 7th century A.D., the laws of war that are laid down by the Quran are actually reasonably humane," he says. "Then we turn to the Bible, and we actually find something that is for many people a real surprise. There is a specific kind of warfare laid down in the Bible which we can only call genocide
