The Difference: Simply Put

"Wherever you find the infidels, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection. Know that paradise is under the shade of the swords." Muhammad of Mecca (c. 570-632 AD)

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Jesus of Nazareth (c. 4 BC-30 AD)

Well, that about sums it up.

Another Difference: Simply Put:

Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile ("Cuthean"), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.

Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (gentile) hits a Jew, the gentile must be killed.

Minor Tractates. Soferim 15, Rule 10. This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: Tob shebe goyyim harog ("Even the best of the gentiles should all be killed")
.
This passage is from the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted by the 1907 Jewish Encyclopedia, published by Funk and Wagnalls and compiled by Isidore Singer, under the entry, "Gentile," (p. 617).

This original Talmud passage has been concealed in translation. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that, "...in the various versions the reading has been altered, 'The best among the Egyptians' being generally substituted." In the Soncino version: "the best of the heathens" (Minor Tractates, Soferim 41a-b].

Yebamoth 98a. All gentile children are animals.

Sanhedrin 55b. A Jew may marry a three year old girl (specifically, three years "and a day" old).

These are all quotes out of the Jewish Talmud.
The Talmud is just as sick and twisted yet never seems to be quoted.
I guess that is too religiously incorrect.

One thing to keep in mind, the Talmud is not considered to be "holy writ." Thus, it is hardly fair to put it on a par with the Koran or the New Testament.

Another thought...how can Muhammad's book be even considered "holy writ"? Last time I studied World Religions, my teacher pointed out to us that Muhammad was illiterate and that there was a very significant gap of years between when he recieved his "revelations" and the time they were recorded.

'All religions believe the same thing' still makes me laugh far too much.
