The Old Testament was found to be more than twice as violent as the Quran
ed note–for those inclined to respond with the typical ‘ho-hum’, audible yawns, and dramatic shoulder-shrugs while saying ‘BFD’, responses unfortunately all-too-common these days in a world where the intellectual senses of the average Gentile have been dulled and stunted by a mainstream media mafia monopoly owned by the organized forces of anti-Gentilism, keep in mind that it was the incessant sledgehammering through the JMSM of ‘Jihad’ and ’72 virgins’ and ‘Islam is a religion of holy war’, et al, a buffet table of Kol Nidre-based lies that wrought the destruction of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and which will be used as the mind poison in securing the destruction of Iran when in fact, it is not ‘Jihad’ that the world needs to fear, but rather ‘Juhad’.

An analysis into whether the Quran is more violent than the Bible found that texts advocating killing and destruction occur more frequently in the Judeo-Christian texts than the Islamic.
Investigating whether the Quran really is more violent than its Judeo-Christian counterparts, software engineer Tom Anderson processed the text of the Holy books to find which contained the most violence.
In a blog post, Mr Anderson explains: ‘The project was inspired by the ongoing public debate around whether or not terrorism connected with Islamic fundamentalism reflects something inherently and distinctly violent about Islam compared to other major religions.’
Using text analytics software he had developed, named Odin Text, he analyzed both the New International Version of both the Old and New Testaments as well as an English-language version of the Quran from 1957.
It took just two minutes for his software to read and analyze the three books.
By categorising words into eight emotions – Joy, Anticipation, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, Surprise, Fear/Anxiety and Trust – the analysis found the Bible scored higher for anger and much lower for trust than the Quran.
Further analysis found the Old Testament was more violent than the New Testament, and more than twice as violent as the Quran.
Mr Anderson summarises: ‘Of the three texts, the content in the Old Testament is without question the most violent.’
‘Killing and destruction are referenced slightly more often in the New Testament (2.8%) than in the Quran (2.1%), but the Old Testament clearly leads—more than twice that of the Quran—in mentions of destruction and killing (5.3%).’
However, he adds: ‘First, I want to make very clear that we have not set out to prove or disprove that Islam is more violent than other religions. Moreover, we realize that the Old and New Testaments and the Quran are neither the only literature in Islam, Christianity and Judaism, nor do they constitute the sum of these religions’ teachings and protocols.’
