Specific enough?

And how any Jews or Christians agree that those lines are to be taken literally? How many Jews and Christians do you know that are advocating this today?
Even the most devout Jews and Christians recognize that some parts of the Bible are not to be taken literally. The radical Muslims believe in killing people that are not Muslims. They believe that Islam should rule the world. They believe that they should kill anyone that gets in their way. In spite of a few obscure Biblical verses, I don't know of any Jews or Christians that believe in any of that.
And before you bring up the Crusades, yes, people did a lot of bad things in the name of God. I don't know of very many who do those things now. Can't say the same for the radical Muslims.
I don't know enough about the Koran to determine which verses are meant to be followed literally and which are not, but these radicals that are attacking us and trying to take over the world believe that every word of it should be taken literally.
No comparison.
