content: The quran is as violent as the bible...  If you throw out the second half of the bible, sure. BTW, a lot of things that get shit on in the bible are, if you put them in the context of the time, early forms of feminism and similar. Rather than just allowing parents/men to hurt their wives/children in ANY way they want for ANY reason they want, they set boundaries on them and rules for the conditions... which if violated carried their own punishments. People alive today have to really think through the process of civilizing... you can't just jump from full on zero restraint might makes right to a constitutional code designed to protect natural rights.
