Violence in the Bible vs. the Quran

   I would say "dictum simplicitur" to the people who wrote this up for they have committed the fallacy of speaking to simply - http://s.oregonlive.com/8CQyOoU   And these people, too- http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/02/20/researcher-finds-that-the-old-and-new-testament-are-both-more-violence-than-the-quran/?repeat=w3tc
  Analysis may find that the Bible is more violent than the Quran indeed, because it is a document which has lengthy and accurate historical narratives while the Quran does not. If one looks in the literary genre of the Quran even a little bit, one will find that it is a completely different animal.  Muslims will tell you, such as what this site says, that they consider it "prophecy," or words directly from God. Indeed, the genre of the Quran seems to be a unique style of "rhymed prose." So if the Bible has lengthy and accurate historical narratives, wheras the Quran does not, then we would expect to see that there is indeed much violence in the Bible, and probably more than in the Quran. Since the Bible is true to history, like my previous posts assert, it contains more violent accounts than the Quran.
     I did a previous video blog about the literary claims of Muslims concerning the Quran (which is a highly related topic): Video- Qur'an Literary Claims- Analyzed and Rebutted- TheReformedapologist  It was a very thorough workup.
   And no, this is not the place where I am going to address the specific commands in the Quran for Muslims to go commit violence, and how such commands don't exist in the Bible.
