The Bible is pretty much made up stuff from like a billion years ago.

The threat from global radical Islam is probably the biggest threat facing world peace and human rights today.

Epic fail butter cup . With all due respect of course. ?

A billion years ago is incredibly inaccurate.

But the Bible and Koran share some remarkable similarities, the same G-d, and the same basic principles, the familiar cultural practices that gave a root to certain textual law. While not written in the exact same time frame, they are still incredibly old religious texts, and share many of the same laws that an uneducated and corrupt individual could use to further their agenda for a host of disgusting behavior.

The Bible has been used as the basis for unspeakable acts, just as the Koran has.

So the question still remains: how many child brides and sanctioned rapes were there in the Bible? (Bonus points if you can tell me what modern day popular religious movements still actively advocate child marriage to their followers based on the Bible.)

While you're researching that subject, you might also want to try learning how long ago each religious book was actually written.

I almost posted that

Actually Radical Islam was the reason I posted

I got that from your post. Saudi Arabia probably deserves to be considered Radical, but they are not much beloved by the greater portion of Muslims around the world, and except for their homegrown Radical Islamic son's such as Osama Bin Laden and company, are not one with the likes of ISIS or ISIL. I was pretty clear that it was your yes man the voweled one who was blending and confusing the party in the OP.

A good many, but the bible is not comiting world wide acts of violence and taking over whole countries, while slaughtering 1000's. There is no greater threat to global secuity in present day than radical Islam

Remind us how many Iraqi civilians were killed in the 2nd Gulf War. I know that Christianity was not the official excuse given for the invasion but it is fair to say that it was largely Christian nations that invaded. I am equally sure that you never heard of the custom Cross shaped scopes used by some but designed for that conflict.

I cannot even begin to give you the unfathomable numbers for the individuals who have been slaughtered because someone decided the Bible gave them the ''OK'' to do so. The events caused by those people because of their holy book, has led us to the place we presently are now. In early times, would it surprise you to know there was no greater threat than radical Christianity? Back then, it wasn't even considered ''radical'' to a point, but normal. Even when civilization moved into modern times, we still didn't have a cluephone. Slavery and murder was okay. Evil men found things in that text that inspired them to commit acts even similar to what our modern day terrorists are doing. White Nationalists, guerilla organizations, bombers against abortionists, cults, church-sanctioned pedophilia, church-sanctioned domestic violence, multiple wives, child brides, child abuse, politicians and religious leaders trying to further an 'end times' agenda... the list goes on and on. Cultists that use Islam as their crutch for barbarism and insanity blossoms from the same root cause, as everyone that came before them did.

Bad acts in history repeats itself to ad-nauseam. The fault of which lay squarely at the feet of those sheep who in their ignorance have decided without question to commit acts and figure out ways in their holy books to absolve them of it later on. Don't think for a second back when radical Christianity was the normal, that there weren't 'normal' Christians begging people to see the truth and error of their ways, just like many good Muslims do now. Islamic countries have reached a tipping point, when the bad practices their governments continue to sanction, butt heads with the modern day believer. Radical cultists these days are attempting to skew things, to prey on those who have no understanding of a faith's holy book. They love it when people say all of Islam is threat, they love it when good Muslims are viewed with ignorance and fear, they love it when the ignorant are demeaning of others... so that they can hope one day in their twisted logic there will be no distinction between the two anymore (Christian fundies operate under the same tactic btw). So that they can say, see brothers and sisters, everyone really does hate you.

You can continue to mock, exaggerate, or use sarcasm all you want, but on a fundamental level, you're doing exactly what they want you to do.
