Ah, Ayan, you lefties always drag out that old chestnut without looking at the context. The OT passages were written for a specific time and a specific people. The Koran was written for all time for all its adherents. The OT passages do not call believers today, either Jews or Christians, to do these things. They were for a specific time, place and people. The Koran is for all time.



The passage out of Psalms that you quote completely out of context was an emotional response to the Jews being taken into the Babylonian exile. The part you conveniently left out says:



1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?



This is not a command by God to kill anyone. It is longing for revenge by one forcibly removed from his home land and mocked. Quite a different thing than what you portray it as. Nice try but not even close to what the Koran says.
