I don't hold a brief for any religion. But whenever someone points out the more bloody-minded parts of the Koran, we see this "what about you" argument pointing to equally objectionable parts of the Bible. The Bible does not enjoy the same status in majority-Christian countries, or even among most Christians, as the Koran does in Islam. We are now free to laugh at Deuteronomy 21:18-21, for example, without fear of an inquisition or being condemned for blasphemy.
