To be fair, one-time commands in the Old Testament for Jews to attack a specific group of people at a specific time and place in a specific way, commands which expired once the act was carried out cannot be even remotely be compared with commands to attack all non-Muslims anywhere at any time and for any reason for the base crime of being non-Muslim.

Also tu quoque (literally “you too”), that is, charging someone or something with doing that which they themselves accused another of doing, rather than refuting the truth of the accusation is an informal fallacy. It is a special type of ad hominem attack. It is used frequently, with "whataboutism" being one particularly well known instance of this fallacy. It does nothing to disprove the original factual, Quran-supported claim, which here is that that Quran calls for violence against all non-Muslims at any time and place for the crime of being non-Muslim.

"One time commands"?? Hardly. The Old Testament is pretty dark friend, for example: https://reknew.org/2013/03/getting-honest-about-the-dark-side-of-the-bible/

As for my creating a parallel with the Quran, they come from the same locale, from the same racial groups, why not compare them?
