It would appear that you cannot comprehend that what the Jews might have done during Biblical times and what Christians might have done during the middle ages is irrelevant to this discussion.
Speaking of biased websites.
"Raymond Ibrahim, an American born expert on the Middle East and Islamic affairs claims to have debunked the idea that the Bible is more violent than the Quran, remarking that the Bible describes historical events, whereas the Islamic text is doctrinal, and has “open ended” clauses calling followers to action. ...
Similarly, research surfaced in February by software engineer Tom Anderson who ran the texts of the Quran and The Bible through text analytics software to find out which was the most violent....
He [Anderson] did concede that the results have no bearing on proving whether Islam “is more violent than other religions”, and that Islam, Christianity and Judaism all have further texts which contribute to religious doctrine, but that didn’t stop The Independent and other left wing media outlets such as the Huffington post eagerly reporting on his findings....
“This is to say nothing of the fact that Islamic teaching is hardly limited to the Quran. Volumes of canonical (sahih) Hadith (words and deeds of Muhammad) equally inform Muslim actions. [[…]] As it happens, calls to anti-infidel violence in the Hadith outnumber the Quran’s.”
Mr Anderson [your source] lamely concluded: “I must also reemphasize that this analysis is superficial and the findings are by no means intended to be conclusive."

Wrong again. Saba said 1.8 billion total Muslims worldwide. She said nothing about number of violent Muslims. I read a study that said radical Islam is increasing. Perhaps you should refrain from making accusations re: my comprehension of sources I refer to.
Contrary to your accusation it is not simply their professed faith. I encountered a Muslim couple in a department store a few day ago. She was covered from head to foot in black. Black material which I could not even see through covered her eyes. I had no feelings one way or the other about him.
.....If I perceived that myself, my family or any helpless person was threatened with imminent violence in my presence I would respond with equal or superior force, irrespective of race, gender, nationality, etc. etc. etc.. And I would do so without any qualms whatsoever. Is that good enough for you?
I do see history as relevant. Silly me.
I apologized for getting the Saba quote wrong before you posted this reply. I said I missed a paragraph and that I was sorry for that.
You think Breitbart is a valid source now?
So you were just promoting imminent violence only? It sure seemed like you were promoting more.
