Thank you, Don Reto Nay and Uncle Joe, for your discussion so interesting.
I do not pretend to add much to what you have already said.
Only this: Jesus did not come to abolish but to fulfill. It is obvious
that the Ten Commandments are fully valid, but it is the grace to fully accomplish that comes from the Calvary, flowing like a river from the open side of Christ.
For this and only for this, that there was so much violence in the Old Testament, with God's permission: missing man the Blood of Jesus Christ! The warrior mentality man could not change so easily, grace was not given the full.
Yet Jesus could have abolished before the time of the death penalty:
instead, he allowed two murderer be crucified one right and one left him. He respected human justice because it comes from God, and he knows how to use it for good.
Secondly, I do not know if I'm just gullible, but for me, the story of St. Jacques Matamoros is absolutely not a legend of St. Jacques de Compostela pilgrimage. And same thing for the letter of the soldier Michael.
Lettre du soldat Michael
And of course, I do not say this in the hope that tomorrow a new religious war broke out, and there is a flood of blood, no, no one can wish.
And of course, we must not be naive to the point of forgetting if grave responsibility of EU and France in all this eruption of hatred in the Middle East ... It's very true ...
But we no longer have the time to give us the whip :
we are attacked, now, today, tomorrow and for a long time can be.
As told Crocodile, one must decide to close mosques after each other. Sorry for my utopia ... And of course, there is prayer and God's help.
I am very sad to have lived until today, but now we have to live better, have courage ...

@Uncle Joe: Most what you say is correct, however, the law was given not the the "nation of Israel" (the concept of "nation" is a 19th century invention), but to the People of God, i.e. to the Church of the Old Testament. The law which you mention has indeed three parts: moral, ceremonial and civil law.The civil law regarded the organization of the people of God which is now the Church of the New Testament, therefore it is fulfilled. The ceremonial law regarded the worship in the temple which is fulfilled in the liturgy of the Church. The moral law (e.g. the Ten Commandments) is as binding now as it was then. None, of the passages regarding cruelties in the Old Testament belong to the law. I further don't dispute that the Jewish tradition misreads the Old Testament. One has however to take in consideration that there are many Jewish traditions as there are (very) many Islamic traditions. Shia, Sunni or Alevites etc are very different from each other. Almost every Islamic country has its own law schools. And when it comes to violence, nobody is able to beat the non-Islamic West.

Dear Don Reto,

As you especially know, the Old Testament law was given to the nation of Israel, not to Christians. Some of the laws were to reveal to the Israelites how to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments, for example). Some of the laws were to show the Israelites how to worship God and atone for sin (the sacrificial system). Some of the laws were intended to make the Israelites distinct from other nations (the food and clothing rules). NONE of the Old Testament law is binding on Christians today. When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23–25; Ephesians 2:15).
.
In place of the Old Testament law, Christians are under the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2), which is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). If we obey those two commands, we will be fulfilling all that Christ requires of us: “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:40).
.
Getting back to Islam and their moon god:
.
For Jews, the Old Testament is read in the light of Jewish tradition, which also removed the death penalties for certain sins over a period of time. Jewish tradition also claims that some Old Testament laws were never meant to be taken literally (such as eye for eye, tooth for tooth, or the law calling for a woman's hand to be chopped off for grabbing a man's genitals when he was fighting her husband). Instead, Jewish tradition tells us that these laws always referred to monetary payment.
.

In contrast, the Quran is the final authority for Muslims—there is nothing that supersedes it or can contradict it—and so, to repeat again, throughout Islamic history, the violent verses have often been applied literally by Muslims in their treatment of unbelievers and enemies.

@Uncle Joe: The O.T. is the only Bible the Jews have. And for the Christians: The Old Testament is not less Bible than the New Testament. It is not possible nor necessary to (de facto) discard the Old Testament by claiming the the New Testament is the "final revelation". Yes, the New Testament is the "final revelation", but this does in no way mean that the Old Testament would be a "secondary revelation" as if God was a bit confused when he revealed the Old Testament and had to think it over again in the New Testament. No way.

Dear Don Reto,

If you want, you will find much worse in the Bible, and not only in the Old Testament.
.
Ah yes! The skeptics apologia noting the similarity between the OT and the Quran.
.
For Christians, the O.T. is the foundation on which the New Testament is built and so the New Testament contains the final revelation. Significantly, there are no verses in the New Testament in which believers are called on to kill their enemies. For Muslims, the Quran is the final revelation. The ultimate example for Christians is Jesus. For Muslims, Muhammad is the perfect man and the model to be followed.
.
Jesus was crucified and ordered His followers not to defend Him from His fate. Muhammad, who began his mission as a preacher rather than a soldier, led pillaging raids (to get money for his followers); fought aggressive, offensive wars to subdue his enemies; and on one famous occasion, beheaded his Jewish captives. In stark contrast, the most "violent" thing Jesus did was overthrow the tables of the money changers in the Temple and drive out the animals. It is impossible to compare the two.
.
Jesus is called the Lamb of God in numerous texts, speaking of His sacrificial death on the cross, and He is worshiped by Christians as the Lamb who was slain. Do Muslims commonly think of Muhammad in those terms?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

p.s. Since I'm sure you will mention her wars, I will add this. As for wars that America engages in, such as the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, while many Muslims view these as "Christian wars" (since America is perceived by the Muslim world to be a Christian nation), these wars have not been waged in the name of Christianity but rather in the name of national security. If America was an entirely secular nation, it could have engaged in such wars just as easily. On the other hand, ISIS, in the name of Islam and their demon god allah, always takes credit for any and all acts of violence done anywhere including the latest atrocity in Nice, France.

Dear Don Reto Nay,

I completely agree with the second half of your post but not with your suggestion about the root cause of terrorism.
.
The unsolved Palestinian question with a whole people suppressed for decades by a brutal regime, is probably the root cause of what the propaganda calls "Islamist terrorism"
.
No, it's not the fault of the Jews. Islamic terrorism is in the Muslim's DNA. It's a part of them as much as their eye color maybe even more so. As you know, Muslims believe the Quran to be the book of divine guidance revealed from God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years. Now this is very important. Muslims view the Quran as God's final revelation to humanity. Not merely for academic reasons but for their own welfare, it is crucial that even non-Muslims know at least something about the Quran and what it commands of Islam's adherents.
.
The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter. www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx
.
It is not the fault of the Jews, it's not France, it's not the Philippines it's not the U.S. Anyone with eyes to see knows that the war has already begun against all of Western Civilization. It is Islam's ideology which must be eliminated along with any reverence given to their false “prophet” the madman Muhammad (PBUH – pigs blood be upon him)

@Uncle Joe: The unsolved Palestinian question with a whole people suppressed for decades by a brutal regime, is probably the root cause of what the propaganda calls "Islamist terrorism". We should not become to easily victims of the official propaganda. Catholics should be more clever than that. I would be happy like a child if Islam would be our problem. Our problem are the Western governments who promote whatever God has forbidden. It is important for Catholics to know where Satan is. Otherwise we are fighting against wind-mills.

Dear Don Reto Nay,

I honestly am unable to keep track of the different factions, tribes or gangs in Islam apart from each other and what their practices may or may not be. It's too complicated for me. Everything I personally needed to know about the ideology (masquerading as a religion) of Islam occurred in 2001 and there is nothing that has occurred since then that has managed to dissuade me from my opinion. In fact, the kinds of acts that we have witnessed around the world has confirmed my resolve.

Furthermore, I see only one solution to the problem. Will something this radical involve 'collateral damage'? Sure. But, ne saurait faire d'omelette sans casser des œufs. ( You've gotta break a few eggs if you want to make an omelet)
p.s. Of course Odumbo would never do it so we have to wait till Trump takes over. Either that or let something like the above occur in Israel and the Jews will do it for us and for the entire civilized world. I think it would be better if the Jews did it since (for now) they have much more to lose from Islamic terrorism than the U.S. and the attack would be easier to justify with the wussies in the U.N., U.S., Europe, etc.

Hillary Clinton was interviewed by O'Reilly Thursday night. She had the gall or stupidity to say we were winning the war against ISIS.

Against this backdrop, we learn that in the Paris Bataclan Massacre hostages were disemboweled so they could die slowly. Their eyes were gouged out. Men were castrated and their testicles shoved in their mouths.
.
O'Reilly asked Trump if he would ask for a declaration of war as president. Trump had a one word response "Yes!"

Hillary was asked the same question and she went on a 10 minute rant about how we are winning and she never answered the question.

This all points to Trump victory in November by a landslide!
