As to your bit about Christians and the Ten Commandments, you do know that Islam has the exact same Commandment as well?

are you refering to this section of that?

017.033
YUSUFALI: Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).
PICKTHAL: And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden save with right. Whoso is slain wrongfully, We have given power unto his heir, but let him not commit excess in slaying. Lo! he will be helped.
SHAKIR: And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided

if this is the part you are refering to, then I submit thata quite a bit differant from, straight up thou shall not kill, it says don't kill unless you feel its the right thing to do

not kill and not kill with a loophole is a bit different

Actually, the original text in Aramaic says "Thou shalt Not Commit Murder." as do most versions of the Bible that aren't KJV

King James tweaked the Bible a bit to satisfy his own political goals.

So if someone is going to harm me or my family there is no prohibition against doing whatever I have too. Makes so much more sense.

Maybe you should find a better translation than the KJV?

To start with the correct translation of thou shall not kill is You shall not murder. The Hebrew word translated as murder has the connotation of unlawful killing just like the Qu'ran.

The point is that the Mosaic Code does not equate causing a woman to miscarry is not considered to be murder of a human being..

No Ken, the Normans were not Celts, they were Norman. But they adopted Gaulic Customs, such as the French language.

Getting back to the comment that started it, France isnt considered to be a Germanic culture. Just ask any European.

It is stupid to suggest otherwise.
