You won't find those literal words. Do you only believe in something when it's "literal" and you can read it ?
But Surah 3:151 is close enough.
Christians were doing ethnic cleansing in the 90's

I did look up your verse "We will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers for associating false gods with Allah—a practice He has never authorized. The Fire will be their home—what an evil place for the wrongdoers to stay"

reminds me of the bible condemning those to hell for not believing

Can you explain why you dislike fundamentalists in western countries but defend it when it's Islam? Makes zero sense to me.
If only that were the case and people learned, i'm not defending any fundamentalist Western/Eastern as I said in another posting "I simply worry about Fundamentalist's who want to reshape this country to comply & align with their faith, period."

Posters are very good at providing examples that only show specific words like the Youtube videos or the Fox articles that get referenced so frequently. As I posted in response to the 3 examples given 2 pertain to being in battle and the 3rd was a historical reference similar to an Old Testament story.

Sorry. Not even close.


Try to find a recent Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Indic, atheist etc. analog for Judge Sadegh Khalkhali (insert any name from a very long list of recent Islamist leaders if you prefer).

Most other translations state "terror" not horror and killing in the name of Allah is perfectly fine if the person they murdered is a non believer.

Nonsense.

I haven't seen hardcore Christians throwing gay men off high roofs recently.

Obviously leftists don't know the entire history of Islam. Basically for hundreds of years, you either converted or you and your family were murdered. Nothing different than today, atheism and Islam are responsible for more death in this world than anything else.

Why would I give any thought to what cultural choice you look for ?

If this article says he was attacked by his family for being gay would it have even made the paper, doesn't have quite the same draw as another attack on a Christian.....

Obviously the right wing has forgotten the centuries of forced conversion to Christianity (32 flavor to choose from) including after death conversions by the Mormons......
