Many books have been written in the beautiful language of Greek (no doubt, there is a Koran translated into Greek but it doesn't make it part of Greek culture).
"Leviticus is the third of five books of the Jewish Torah or Pentateuch" and was written several thousand years ago. Do you know ANY Jewish or Christian cultures which actually put to death anyone for "cursing" to this day?
Are you suggesting that Islam has greater respect for the life of individuals? And women in particular?
Christianity has moved on, many times. Islam is fairly new historically but far more anachronistic and embedded in primeval suffering. It degenerates people and is more of a political tool.
Would you care to give me a quote from the Koran to illustrate what you mean?
As you mentioned women in particular, from the Bible - I think included in the Greek one - the message of St. Paul to the Ephesians 5:22-24 ". “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.”
From the Koran ""Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more strength than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absence what Allah would have them to guard." (4:34)
Not so very different.
