For comparison,

> 27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’” 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. 29 Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”

For another,

> 20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

...I'm afraid that your crusade of trying to prove Muslims violent by reading passages from Quran is not terribly persuasive, to anyone who have read the Old Testament. If you really want to persuade others, you will have to search harder.



I know Old Testament, but you obviously don't know Quran. Read it and compare, that's all I can tell you. One describes what happened in some ancient times, ancient times even for the first reader of these texts. Another gives pure "instructions." Read and compare.

Or read the "Gospels" from New Testament for the "deeds of Jesus" especially related to stoning:

and compare with the "deeds of Muhammad" as told by Hadith:
