In theory, which religion has better human rights?

I am not very impressed with how either of these look at "other people".

Islam:

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Judaism:

Sanhedrin 59a

"To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly."


Interesting. Islam calls for the decapitation of heads and fingertips of those who disbelieve.

Judaism is more covert. The verse in question is a good explanation as to why they keep the Talmudic books in the Synagogue and the rabbis guard them well.
There's obviously some pretty disturbing writings in there, judging from the verse in question.

Seems to me that none of the Abrahamic faiths produce much good except for within their respective cliques.

I'm still waiting to see an itemized list of citations to reference to support the original list.

How about this:
Number of planned or real terrorist attacks on the United States
___Judaism: none that I know of (assuming that the attack on the USS LIberty was not a terrorist attack)
___Islam: multiple attacks

you are taking verses out of context.... again, you are not an expert on the Qur'an so stop ACTING LIKE YOU ARE! The Qur'an's verses were each revealed in response to a specific situation occuring in Prophet Muhammad's life.... it was revealed over a period of 23 years, and it is not in order from beginning of revelation to end..... all verses in the Qur';an which refer to violence are referring to self-defense, according to the consensus of the scholars....it is dangerous, i repeat, DANGEROUS for a layperson to interpret the translation of the Qur'an without formal education in tafseer or knowledge of classical arabic..... and the Quran, like many holy books, contains a lot of figurative speech

so much for "peaceful buddhists"....

and are you suggesting that the criteria for a "peaceful religion" are whether or not they attack the United States??? wow, sounds like american egocentrism to me....

Regarding the so-called human rights under sharia, from http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/10/28/punished-for-being-raped-the-burden-of-women-under-sharia/:

ISIS is an extremist example, eric.... you can not cite what isis does and say, "LOOK! THE QUR'AN TEACHES THIS! ISIS is an extremist minority too extreme even for al qaeda

reported!

That wasn't a personal attack.
