Sure. Amid the inquisition and Crusades many have been killed in the name of Jesus. The problem is, Jesus, who is the Christian example, never did and advocated the opposite.

This is not so with a religion like Islam. Their leader, Mohammad, was a killer from the beginning.

Valid point.
However OT God was very favourable of smiting his enemies.
(and Jesus supported the OT)

Everyone and anyone can stop imagining there is a Lake Of Fire any time they want.

Maybe money is more important to Rajk999 than his head. 😀

I was told by a Middle East colleague that Saudi men can marry for 24 hours, which facilitates one night stands.
There is such a thing in Islam as temporary marriage, its like a contract for an unspecified duration. I am surprised though that its Saudi men who are engaging in it because they are Sunni, for as far as I understood it, it was predominantly a Shia phenomena. Its termed Muta and you'll find an interesting article here.

Actually I may have erred there - he may have been talking about Moslem men from the countries surrounding Lebanon, where he was from. I forget the detail.

Don't forget at that time, Jesus would have been thinking of the Pentateuch, the first 5 books of our OT, there was nothing else back then much less the NT.

I would say, based on the response to Cain in the Bible, that murder is worse than robbing someone.

Essentially the Middle East has become a refuge for "Cain-like" people.

Then again, here in the US they devour the unborn surpassing genocidal sociopaths like Hitler.

Shrug. Murder and genocide is just the human condition.

Not to worry FMF, none of them will see justice, at least in your little world in the time you have left. 😵

It could be a personality disorder. He could have a Sunni and and Shiite living inside him, alternating indiscriminately.

You may think you can imagine 'supernatural punishment' into existence but you can't. If it makes you feel better in some way about the human condition, then good for you. I welcome and hope for the capture, imprisonment and punishment of murderers.
