I tend to believe the Old testament is a big reason why antisemitism was so rampant for so long. I mean look at what is in their bible.... Jeez.
You can be a preacher and preach to a flock and make God sound like a bloodthirsty angry deity, basing it all off of scripture. Likewise you can be a preacher and make God appear to be all about Love and forgiveness. There are denominations that have basis on differing interpretations of scripture. What boggle my mind is how xenophobic people can be. They take the bad and use that to overshadow everything else. Atheist use the bad in the bible against Christians and Christians the same with the Koran to Muslims.
I have to say this is nicer than anything in the bible I am familiar with.
So the Quran acknowledges that their are other paths to heaven besides Islam.

[Quran 2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

When the sacred months are passed, kill the kafirs wherever you find them. Take them as captives, besiege them, and lie in wait for them with every kind of ambush. If they submit to Islam, observe prayer, and pay the poor tax, then let them go their way. Allah is gracious and merciful.

Don't you think that is a little disingenuous? The bible is full of horrible shite. You can't just dismiss the terrible things the christian god has done because they added a few new chapters. You can't believe in genesis but not in deuteronomy.

Well, yeah. I don't get how that is of any surprise. I would never follow a god who's done the horrible and grotesque things the christian god has done to innocent people. Look at the binding of Issac for example.
For me, it's not about whether or not your god exists. It's about the example he set and that is not an example I would ever follow. He can take his streets of gold and shove it.
