The Qur’an literally teached to not take a life, “whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.” (https://quran.com/al-maidah/32)
All verses about killing disbelievers are in the context of war, of the times when the early Muslims were under attack.
Also, traditionally people of other religions were living a good life under muslim rule, because unlike Christianity, Islam forbids forced conversions.
So your point is that that people are uneducated and ignore context, and thus books are bad?
And concerning insulting Christians, go to Texas and pee on a cross, then we can talk. Of course you can safely do that where you are, probably because there are not a lot of Christians in your area, but the more of one population there are, the hight the chances that one of them is crazy.
I wish you criticize them only if the laws of your country solved these problems efficiently (unless you don’t consider them problems),
And it is kinda strange that you’re hurt when you didn’t have contact with Islam?
I’ve read Persepolis. I’m struggling to understand what point you’re trying to make.
If it’s that Handmaid’s Tale is unrealistic, then you’re just wrong. Margaret Atwood specifically made sure only to include things that people have already done (almost always in the name of religion). Here’s a quote from her about it:
The thing to remember is that there is nothing new about the society depicted in The Handmaid’s Tale except the time and place. All of the things I have written about have been done before, more than once.
“When I wrote The Handmaid’s Tale,” Atwood says in the promo, “nothing went into it that had not happened in real life somewhere at some time. The reason I made that rule is that I didn’t want anybody saying, ‘You certainly have an evil imagination, you made up all these bad things.’

Yeah, the thing you said about Christianity is not true at all in parts of the US.
But that’s a Europe thing you know.
EDIT: actually western Europe.

only things that I know of “sharia” from Qur’an are:
I wish you criticize them only if the laws of your country solved these problems efficiently (unless you don’t consider them problems),

Just not true.
Read Handmaid’s Tale. That’s what Christian nationalists want.
Christianity is just as bad as the rest. Stop carving out an exception.

Oh. Then I guess we agree lol.
I was just reading your arguments as “Christianity is better because they don’t do bad things”
