But doesn't the Bible contain similar statements?

"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever."
1 Peter 1:24-25

It very well might

but it also says to "love your enemies" and "turn the other cheek".

I am sure if I studied The Koran or whatever it is called that I could find statements like those as well.

Also I'd like to state that Jesus was not always non-violent, he did grab a whip and attacked the Money Changers so they would leave the Temple because they were making a mockery of his Father's house. Apparently using God and holy things to make money is not a good thing, makes me wonder about TV Evangalists raking in millions and what Jesus would think about that? Food for thought.

Looks like I shouldn't have skipped putting on the third coat of sarcasm.
