It's easy to denounce an entire religion you know little about, because some idiots do terrible things in it's name. Our God no more tells people to kill than Allah does, anymore. If you read the old testament, God directed the Israelites to eliminate entire cities, tribes and peoples, men women, children and right down to every animal. Now, if some bozo decided that these rules still applied, and started killing Christians, he'd claim God told him too. So who would be right? God or Allah?
