How can Muslims be non-radical?

How about this one, where Jesus pretty much says, "the old laws are still in effect, bitches, until the end of time".

Matthew
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled

So till heaven and earth pass, the laws of the OT are good to go?

There exists other passages, I have looked up, and can post if you care to read through them. I will post them tomorrow if you like, and you can interpret them in the most non-violent way you wish.

Doesn't change the fact that they can ALSO be interpreted to do great evil. Interpreted by men, who believe in witches, or think the holy land should be theirs, and theirs by blood.

Again, I wouldn't hold my nose up too high against the muslims, your demi-god cult was once just like theirs.

-----------------

Christians in the western civlized nation of America, are not desperate people. Here in America we really want for nothing as a people. Take that shit away, and you will see the ugly side of this faith rear it's head, AGAIN.

You would see desperate men leading their flock to whatever evil cruel ends they wish. If the shoe were on the other foot, you would see fat ass soccer moms shout "Praise Jesus" before they trigger the homemade dynamite strapped to their chests.

I hope that if this happens, there will be some sedentary lifestlye having muslim posting online how much better his demi-god cult, and imaginary friends are than yours.

Just because I am not afraid to say that Islam is a religion that, from its source material, promotes killing and oppression, that doesn't mean I'm Christian, so stop assuming it.

Your quotation does not mean that the old laws are still in effect; it means the exact opposite, as any minister will tell you. The old laws were originally required in order for sinners to be saved. Jesus took the burden of man's sin on himself and was crucified so that men wouldn't have to do all of the OT things to be saved. He "fulfilled the law" by having the punishment for sin brought down on himself. That's the entire fucking premise of Christianity.

It doesn't matter if people raped babies while setting off explosives and screaming Praise Jesus. It wouldn't have been condoned in the least by the Bible or the teachings of Jesus. Could someone say they are killing and oppressing in the name of Christianity? Of course, but the difference is that there are direct commands in the Koran and from Mohammad that promote such things for Muslims. What's so complicated about this?

And we can get into a long interpretational debate about whether or not Jesus really means that Christians should follow the OT laws (since he does not explicitly say that), but it won't make Islam any less of an explicitly oppressive, belligerent religion.
