texts? history? examples from the prophet's life?
Ahem....
Shall I remember how Moses managed to free the jews from Egypt? Unless I remember wrong, the jew G*d killed the first son of all egyptian families, and sent several plagues to destroy Egypt. |
First of all you've got it backards. The 10 plagues ended - not started - with the divine death of Egypt's first-born.
Second, what Jewish legal law is derived from this? What Jewish living-through-example has been passed on from generation to generation from our exodus from Egypt?
Third, you wish to argue with G-d's actions? Go ahead. Why blame me?! :P
Where's the comparison? Oh, there isn't one. Whadayaknow!

Shall I remember how the jew G*d ended up with corruption and vice in Sodoma & Gomorra? I happen to remember that he wiped them out of the face of the earth.

Same questions follow. What practical legal or ethical Jewish rules are derived from this episode?

What if we were to apply the same methods to those who do not respect the 12 laws from Moses, which came straight from God? God did it...it's written.

12? I thought it was 10! As they say: Jesus saves. Moses invests. We've made a 20% prophet - er - profit.

But yes, Islam is different, it is perverse, it does not admit any tolerant interpretation. Right.

Of course there are such interpretations. You just have to close your eyes to the contradictions to live with those interpretations.
