Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Let's try this again...

"However, Christianity deserves no free-pass either (see the section on Holy and Just wars in the Hebrew Bible)."

Umm, I believe we were talking about Christianity just now, not Judaism. That argument is like saying that we can look in the Quran to find problems with Christianity. Sorry, that is completely non sequitur.

"A fundamental interpretation of either the Bible or the Koran can lead to inappropriate justifications for violence."

Specific references for the Bible part of that? And whose fundamental interpretation? Eric Robert Rudolph's? Violence committed in the name of Christianity over the years has been exposed as deviant with regard to Christian teaching. This has not and will not happen with Islam. Killing infidels is an inextricable part of the teachings of Mohammed.
