Or like this one, "Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)"

This is a double-whammy for Islam, which decries Christians and Jews for not following the word of their shared god. You know Islam is just a second expansion of Judaism right?
Now for Christians it is a bit different. They follow the teachings of their namesake, Christ. Come back with similar language from him (reference books Mathew through John and even the subsequent letters if you are so inclined.
For Christians, Christ's death represented the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and essentially the absolvement of sin, overturning Levitican law and the need for nasty punishments like stoning for things like adultery.
The Jews obviously didn't like his message and had him killed. Mohammad liked the iron fistted god of the Jews better, but was unhappy with their monopoly on his congregation, so he wrote a new chapter, invalidating both the Jews and the frilly Christians claims to salvation.
If you don't think allah is all about ass whooping and domination, read up on the birth of Islam or even just look up the meaning of the word Islam.
