It is written in the eighth chapter of II Samuel that Dâwûd
‘alaihis-salâm’ “slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand
men,” (II Sam: 8-5) and that later he slew “eighteen thousand
men.” (ibid: 13) It is stated in the final part of the tenth chapter
that he “slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians,
and forty thousand horsemen,” (10-18) while the twelfth chapter
reports that he killed the inhabitants of the cities that he had
captured “under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes
of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln.” (12-31)
It is written in the Old Testament that after Mûsâ ‘alaihissalâm’,
Yûshâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ had millions of people slaughtered.
(Josh: 8, and also later chapters)
The thirty-fourth verse of the tenth chapter of Matthew quotes
Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ as having said, “Think not that I am come to
send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.”
(Matt: 10-34)
It is written in the fifty-first verse of the twelfth chapter of
Luke that Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ said, “Suppose ye that I am come to
give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:” (Luke:
12-51)
Again, the thirty-sixth verse of the twenty-second chapter of
Luke quotes Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ as having said, “... But now, he
that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that
hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” (Luke: 22-
36)
A reasonable person who reads the Holy Bible will see that it
abounds in scenes of savagery and cruelty, and that all those
scenes are ascribed to Prophets and to Allâhu ta’âlâ’s beloved
slaves.
Following the commandments of that book, which they
believed to be the Word of Allâhu ta’âlâ, Christians persecuted
both one another and Muslims and Jews, perpetrating massacres
