Shoot a lot of American servicemen had/have sights for their rifles inscripted with bible verses on them. Thing is the religion of America is just that America, with a thin wrapper of egalitarian humanistic Christianity, to give it some metaphysical justification. Christianity in America= Americanism, so therefore Christian zealots are far ahead of their Muslim counterparts in the body count!!!!!

And here I thought Iraq & Afghanistan were for oil, or to line Haliburton's pockets, or because Bush was just plain stupid, I had no idea the Christian Right was in on it.
And I suppose the U.S. military's extremely limited Rules of Engagement and the fact the U.S. military takes extreme precaution to protect innocent civilians from harm, often at the expense of U.S. servicemembers lives/safety, is part of making sure 2/3 of the Israelis are wiped out and keeps the U.S. ahead in the body count....of course as long as it's wrapped in egalitarian humanistic Christianity.
Wow, I never knew??????
Before we veer too far out of reality, let's look at the bible verses on the sights.
One of the citations on the gun sights, Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
John 8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Certainly neither of these is anywhere near the tone or level of violence that many passages in the Koran are concerning killing of infidels and waging jihad.
