The same thing that is found in the Bible that made the Crusaders use it to massacre thousands in their quest to conquer lands that didn’t belong to them.But What is it in the Koran that they are so easily able to use it for their global crimes?
Even if that is a bible, the way it is held in the picture suggests nothing.Gravity said:Well, it said on the link that it was the Bible. Clutching a dictionary and a rifle?
The issue being discussed is about how a religious text is used to justify atrocities. If you think some non-muslims were able to do so then please give some actual examples.Gravity said:We all know that militant Christians, Jews, Hidu's, Muslims and etc have long used religion as a handy way of justifying their actions and for motivating others to join them in killing. We can find endless photos and story's about any such group.
I think you are just speculating. Otherwise can you show us at least some bible verses that have actually been used to justify atrocities in each scenario?Even Handed said:The same thing that is found in the Bible that made the Crusaders use it to massacre thousands in their quest to conquer lands that didn’t belong to them.
The same thing that is found in the Bible, which made the inquisitions the terror of Medieval Europe.
The same thing that is found in the Bible, that suppressed scientific insight, threatened intellectual exploration and condemned men of learning to house arrest and the punishment of fire.
But had it been the Quran, your nose would have flared in excitement at the prospect of a Muslim holding a gun as such.DoctorNO said:Even if that is a bible, the way it is held in the picture suggests nothing.
Just read the Bible DoctorNO, it contains a plethora of verses advocating the killing, raping and enforced slavery of non-believers. I'd suggest you take a look at these sites for quick reference:Otherwise can you show us at least some bible verses that have actually been used to justify atrocities in each scenario?
Hmmmmm...Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves... Numbers 31:16-18

"And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain." (Deuteronomy 2:34)
"And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Hesbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities we took for a prey to ourselves." (Deuteronomy 3:6-7)
Comment
Such words helped give justification to mediaeval Crusaders who slaughtered men, women and children along their way to Jerusalem and stole the spoils of the cities. Even today, many Christian military men use Scripture to justify their actions.
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
