    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.
