it says in the bible to kill unbelievers, to murder your children if they disobey you, and to not associate with unbelievers in any way unless it to stone them for being an unbelievers.

Because the Qu'ran, unlike the Bible... didnt have Jesus come and preach mercy. Never once in the New Testement are we told to kill anyone regardless of faith. Christians... follow Jesus and He taught Mercy. The Old Testement, taught Justice... which is still good but to show mercy is better and is Christlike.

The Bible does not say "kill unbelievers". When thee Israelites were commanded to destroy certain nations who worshiped false gods it was because of infant sacrifice and other abominations practice by those peoples.The Bible does not tell us not to associate with unbelievers ( find it quite hard to believe you honestly thought it did) nor does it say to stone them.It does say in th old testament to stone rebellious teens, but that that was intended for really extreme cases is evidenced by the simple fact that we have no record of it ever having been actually carried out a single time.

i never heard that the Bible call to kill anyone( and if u read that somewhere it will be in the old testament so it's the jews not the new new testament which is the bible.) so christianity didn't call to kill anyone same as for the Quran i read it and i never said that muslims must kill unbelievers. there is one verse that even states that the prophet believed in the idea that everyone has own religion and he should do what he believes in. islam calls for peace as christianity does.
( and for ppl who talk nonsense about the Quran don't talk about something u don't know and give false information)

Christians agree that the old testomony does no longer prepare, at the same time as the Quran has no differentiation between an "out of date e book" because the entire Quran is valid. even with the undeniable fact that, that is authentic that fundementalist Islamist interpret that passage too actually, yet even even with the undeniable fact that, the Quran enables the prospect of violence. I heard a lecture from an Islam-apologist who became attempting to persuade the international that Islam is a non violent faith. In her interpretation, she concluded that the Quran's call for violence is basically in very particular circumstances and in the right, that is "more desirable helpful to no longer commit violence." even with the undeniable fact that even with the undeniable fact that in prepare Islam might want to be non violent at the same time as separated from extremism, the point is the Quran enables some sort of violence, at the same time as the hot testomony bible (regardless of what the Church has easily carried out), forbids violence lower than ANY situation

Please....before making unsubstantiated claims about how the Bible tells us to kill unbelievers (whether or not they are your own children) without provocation (and not in self defense), point to a scripture or two (in the Bible or the Qu'ran) to back up your point.
Generalizations weaken your position, as well...next time ask a question, not make a statement. Otherwise, stop baiting people of faith.

Where in the Bible does it say that? I've read the bible maybe a dozen times in my life (mostly to set right the misused quotes from thumpers) but have never read anything like that in it.
I do know where in the Koran that it states to kill the enemies of allah.
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - 2:191
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. - 5:54
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. - 47:4
(different translation: ) When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.

Book and verse? And which bible? It sounds like it's not KJV. That would explain it then. Some bibles have been changed by man, just like the Koran. Otherwise, you could be reading from the old testament, under Sharia law. That would be the same as the Koran.
But Jesus came to fulfill the law in the new testament, and we are under God's grace now.

Where in the Bible does Jesus tell us to do that.
The old testament, which is where I think you are pulling that from, was the history of the Chosen people, to be set apart from all other peoples.
There were lots of rules that were to be followed to keep the Hebrews holy.

It's in the Old Testament. After the cross we are under grace, so that doesn't apply.
