As for your definitions, we could substitute Muslim god for 'Hebrew God' and Koran for 'the Bible'.
It would be more accurate because the history of Muhammad indicates that he selected the god from hundreds of deities that were worshiped then, and proceeded to draft a religion. Don't shoot me down for saying it. Look into it.

In summary, regarding your post, it's sad that you don't acknowledge the existence of God, since you can't prove He doesn't exist. He just might, and you'll meet Him one day, and then what will you say?

Besides the Jews, the Bastard children of Abraham have all let the world worse for wear with their archaic and ridiculous beliefs. Better to be gone with the both of them I say.
Show me one time when Jesus advocated violence.

I believe this thread is talking about present day problems and, as such, things that may or may not have happened long ago really do not address current problems. The world is quite a different place now with different standards.

And you probably want to say "its tenets", as in its beliefs or principles. Tenants are those people that occupy land or property and generally pay rent.
