Leviticus 24:10-16 says we should stone blasphemers. Would that be just Jews, Muslims and pagans or does it also include other branches of your own religion?

So where are all the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st century stories of Christian men selling their daughter's into slavery, killing neighbors who work on the Sabbath and stoning blasphemers?

(I purposely the other slavery comment because I knew the Antebellum South would be mentioned. There is much that can be discussed on that and if religion had a role, but it's a distraction for now)

You have to go far into Christianity's past to find correlation to present day Islamic teachings and edicts. It's ludicrous to equate Christianity with Islam, and I wonder at the motivation to do so.
