Or an inexpensive drone with a bomb....

That changed when the Lebanese came in . Then it was the Chinese, The Vietnamese.

Decades went on ….more Middle Eastern citizens came in then Africans and now Indian. Australia has now changed. Suburbs now full of ethnicities in our big cities. The south Western suburbs of Sydney are now in some respects Muslim Ghettos. Mosques everywhere. Gun crime is out of control.

There are many law abiding Muslims who live there but many DO NOT assimilate, they stick to their own . Run drugs , kill etc….

I'm sure that Aboriginal Australians would laugh their asses off at this myopic assessment.

Well I don't know anything about the politician but most politicians are trash from both sides of the aisle but that being said the Irish got help by the chocolate on Nation Choctaw Nation of course for people from around the world they may not know what that is that's a Native American tribe basically Indians feather Indians that means they were here alone is in North America and South America before the Caucasian race showed up but they helped the Irish people out in fact the Ireland there's a dedication made out metal or aluminum that's a shape of feathers and even the Nation in Oklahoma USA has a dedication to set up for the Irish on their grounds, of course I'm talking about feather Native Americans not the Red Dot Indians from India that white people and others get mixed up

First, acts of violence in the Bible are presented in a descriptive manner, not as instructions. This is comparable to listening to a true crime podcast that describes how someone was killed and then claiming that it is calling for violence.

Second, many people make the mistake of comparing the books to one another. However, the Qur’an cannot be compared to the Bible at all, because Christians do not regard the Bible itself as sacred, but merely as a piece of paper, and they do not claim that it is free of error. For this reason, it is also not a major issue for Christians if the Bible is burned, because it is simply a book written by humans.

The Qur’an, by contrast, has a transcendent character, since Muslims assume that God’s word has passed from the immaterial realm into the physical world through this book.

Therefore, the Bible cannot be compared to the Qur’an, but rather the Qur’an should be compared to Jesus Christ, because Jesus reflects precisely this idea, namely that God came to earth in the form of Jesus.

One should therefore not fall for this narrative of comparing the two books in this way.

I think you may be responding to something I didn’t actually say.

I wasn’t comparing the Quran to the Bible, nor was I making claims about how sacred texts are understood across religions. I also wasn’t discussing Quranic content at all. The material I responded to is a hadith, and my point was about how it’s being used, not about Islamic doctrine.

The comparison I made was methodological, not theological. It was about the practice of lifting isolated religious text out of context and presenting it as representative of how an entire faith or its followers are meant to behave. That issue exists regardless of which religion is being discussed.

And just to clarify one other point you raised, Christianity itself isn’t monolithic either. Some Christians do view the Bible as the literal word of God and believe everything in it, while others do not. That’s exactly why broad claims about how entire religions or their followers think or behave tend to fall apart.

So this isn’t a debate about Christianity versus Islam, or about how different traditions view their texts. It’s about keeping the discussion grounded in what people actually believe and practice, rather than selectively cherry-picking material to support a generalized narrative.

At this point the discussion is starting to drift away from the actual incident, so I’ll leave it there.
