That's the problems with this certain section of Muslims who become judgemental about other religions. Remember if you were born on this side of the border, possibly you too would have been worshipping snakes etc. All religions in their own sense is a manifestation of our acknowledgement that there is someone supreme. All religious documents be it Quran, Bible or the Bhagwad Gita were written by men. Interpretation is also by men and all of us interpret religion the way we want to suit our own needs. If the Quran says that only those who follow Islam are true followers of Allah and the rest are 'Kafir's it is entirely untrue. I am a Christian living in India and have wonderful friends among Muslims and Hindus. Never have I been discriminated on any account. Remember we also worship Allah, I call him Lord, some call him Yahweh, some all him Bhagwan. All religions say the same thing that is you will be judged by your deeds. Killing anyone is definitely not acceptable. The problem is there are lots of similarities between the Quran and Bible. BTW, in the Quran Jesus Christ is mentioned 27 times whereas Prophet Mohammed is mentioned only 4 times. If you get the opportunity please read the Bhagwad Gita not from a religious perspective, but from a practical perspective. It will open up your eyes on many things and surely you will understand that there are a lot of similarities with the Holy Quran and Holy Bible.
The problem is we cannot accept each other as we are i.e. with and without similarities. Instead of clamping yourself to your own religion, try exploring other religious text purely from an interest point of view.
I am sure you are aware that Abraham had two sons Issac from Sarah and Ishmail from his concubine. The followers of the former follow Christianity and that of the latter follow Islam, hence there is a lot of similarity between the religious text.
Stoning 'sinful' women is very much the law followed by Christians as well as written in the old testament. In the New Testament, people judge an adultress and brings her in front of Jesus and tells Him that the women should be stoned to death. Jesus simply says 'Of course, let the one without any sin throw the first stone at her'. Not a single person came forward and Christ says 'Neither do I condemn you'. Hence, this ancient heinous practice was discontinued and yet in this modern civilisation we still resort to barbaric activities which demean the value of women, the very thing which the Quran does not endorse, but the follower of Quran do!!!
