Those biblical quotes are out of context. Especially considering that was meant for a singular group, not those outside the covenant.

isn't that the point? People cherry pick and say that Islam incites the violence that ISIS perpetrates, but I showed that you can do the same with the Bible.

If you're going to argue that Islam incites violence just based on the Quran, then you can just make the same point for Christianity with the Bible - however obviously next to no Christian extremists exist. I personally don't agree with a lot of what Islam teaches but I believe in free speech when it isn't harming anyone else, so as long as they aren't extremists (which the VAST majority aren't) then they can believe what they want

Many white supremacists are Christians and use their Christian religion to justify it. That's especially true with the KKK. Many of them were "Christian extremists" for people who want to use that terminology. People have also blown up abortion centers, attacked doctors that perform abortions, etc and they justify it through the Christian religion. It's my personal opinion that there is nothing Christian about that and that they just used religion as an excuse to commit their sick desires to cause harm to others. Same goes with these "radical Islamic extremists".

I wish religion didn't exist.
Believing in things is something you should keep to yourself instead of forming (religious)groups

Except religions have caused a lot of good. It gives people hope, happiness, and moral guidelines to follow that religious people hold higher than the laws of their land. Based on your logic, you shouldn't be sharing your opinion that you wish religions didn't exist. People are free to believe in whatever they want, not sure what harm it does for someone to ask you to believe in their religion. It's not as if ISIS is going to rational-minded people and turning them into killers. They're already likely to do evil things, extremist groups are just giving them the opportunity.
