"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves." (John 13:34,35)
Return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration what is fine from the viewpoint of all men. If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovah.” But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals on his head.” Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good. (Romans 12:17-21)

(Proverbs 15:1)
A mild answer turns away rage, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
(Matthew 6:27-36)
"But I say to you who are listening: Continue to love your enemies, to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your outer garment, do not withhold the inner garment either. Give to everyone asking you, and from the one taking your things away, do not ask them back.
“Also, just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them.
"If you love those loving you, of what credit is it to you? For even the sinners love those loving them. And if you do good to those doing good to you, of what credit is it to you? Even the sinners do the same. Also, if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, of what credit is it to you? Even sinners lend to sinners so that they may get back as much. On the contrary, continue to love your enemies and to do good and to lend without hoping for anything back; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind toward the unthankful and wicked.
Continue being merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

Hi, Lina.
Soon Jehovah God, using his heavenly government with Jesus as its duly elected leader, will change human society. God's government will provide many blessings. Here's one:
(Isaiah 65:21, 22) "They will build houses and live in them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their harvest. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full."
Can you imagine owning a piece of land to build your family's home and grow your family's food and never have to worry about paying landlords and evictions? God promises this because "there are new heavens and new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise." (2 Peter 3:13)
However, to receive this benefit, you must become a citizen of God's government. If you'd like to learn how this brief 3-minute video answers the question, "how can I become a citizen?" https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/good-news-from-god/what-is-gods-kingdom/video-kingdom-come/
Please, you owe it to yourself and your family to find out about Jehovah God and his government. It is genuinely better than any flawed human government, because they've shown what complete failures they are.

The creation of universe, the stars, the earth, the plants, animals and ultimately humans was an act of love. God did not have to do any of this, but he wanted to because his dominant quality is love. (1 John 4:8) In fact his love for mankind moved him to send the first being he ever created to earth in order to sacrifice his life to cover Adam's sin. (Colossians 1:15; Romans 5:12)
Humans are Jehovah God's crowning achievement in the physical universe. We were made in his image. This means he endowed us with attributes he himself has like love, justice, thinking ability, and free will. Free will is what separate us from the animals. Jehovah purposed for humans to use their free will to choose to be obedient to him. He doesn't force this on anyone. Let me rephrase that. The sovereign of the universe, the most powerful person in the universe, wants people to choose to obey him.
If you need to know if these people worship Jehovah look no further than Galatians 5:22,23. "the fruitage of [God's] spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control." Do these people demonstrated any of the Almighty's qualities?
By their actions here's who they are.
(Galatians 5:19-21) "Now the works of the flesh are plainly seen, and they are sexual immorality, uncleanness, brazen conduct, idolatry, spiritism, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and things like these. I am forewarning you about these things, the same way I already warned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom."
(2 Timothy 3:1-5) "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."
A person will always act in harmony with what they believe. If their beliefs encourage love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control you will see such attributes. And those attributes mirror the Creator.
So the only conclusion is this. These ISIS people are the complete opposite of Jehovah God. They force people to believe in their religion. They kill people who do not convert. They kill people who do not even practice the same beliefs they have, even if they are of the same religion. They murder women, children, men, grandparents. The god they serve, their "Allahu Akbar", isn't Almighty God Jehovah. Their god is the enemy of the Almighty who is identified in Bible as "the god of this system of things." (2 Corinthians 4:4)
Their god is none other than Satan the Devil. That is their truth. (John 8:32)

שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד.
וְאָהַבְתָּ, אֵת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, בְּכָל-לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁךָ, וּבְכָל-מְאֹדֶךָ.
וְהָיוּ הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם--עַל-לְבָבֶךָ.
וְשִׁנַּנְתָּם לְבָנֶיךָ, וְדִבַּרְתָּ בָּם, בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ בְּבֵיתֶךָ וּבְלֶכְתְּךָ בַדֶּרֶךְ, וּבְשָׁכְבְּךָ וּבְקוּמֶךָ.
Instead of teaching his daughter to hate and cause violence, he should do what Deuteronomy 6:5,6 reads above (which comes from the Torah). She should love Jehovah God (Yes, that is God's name even if Jews feel the name is too holy to say... read Psalms 83:18), not the land.
(Deuteronomy 6:5,6)
“Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength. These words that I am commanding you today must be on your heart, and you must inculcate them in your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up."

Well that's nice. But Allah isn't Jehovah, the Almighty God, who alone is the Most High over all the earth. (Psalm 83:18) I can guarantee you Allah is not Jehovah because if Allah was Jehovah his worshipers worldwide would be united and they would mirror aspects of God's personality. Galatians 5:22,23 clearly identifies more than few of them. "The fruitage of [God's] spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control." Do they show ANY of these qualities? No! On the contrary by their actions this is who they are:
"Now the works of the flesh are plainly seen, and they are sexual immorality, uncleanness, brazen conduct, idolatry, spiritism, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, divisions, sects, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and things like these." (Galatians 5:19-21)
Here's the warning to those who practice such things from the Almighty himself:
"I am forewarning you about these things, the same way I already warned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom." (Galatians 5:21)
By their actions they not only disqualify themselves from inheriting God's Kingdom but they also invalidate themselves as his followers.

Why do you accuse the Bible of being nothing more than a book from men? If that were true then explain how the Bible could be written over the span of 1,600 years without the use of technology? If it was written by humans how would they have written such this book with such cohesiveness during a time that predated the codex, printing press and computer technology?
When the Bible was written on scrolls it did not have chapters or verses and it certainly lacked basic punctuation marks like periods and commas. These inventions came later after the bible had been completed. Under conditions like these a human would have needed a photographic memory to write cohesively. Now multiply that by 44 people and 1,600 years and tell me if you think the Bible is a book written by imperfect humans?
There is not ONE book in the history of mankind that has been been written like the Bible. Even the Quran only took 22 years to complete.
Jehovah God, the Bible's author, does not need technology to put his words on paper. He directed, or rather inspired, around 44 men to write his words. He's not restricted by time like humans are. 1,600 years would be like a day to Jehovah God. (Ps 90:2, 4) Because these are God's words and not man's the Bible shows over and over again how cohesive it is from beginning to end and that it is truly "inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16,17)

re: "the quran was written but one man not a group of men hired by the emperor during a time of chaos and desperation."
Not only is this incohesive with the bible, it's doesn't even gel with factual history. Moses, Samuel, King David, Solomon, Isaiah, Daniel and many other bible writers were real people who lived and died before the Roman empire ever existed.
Despite your clear desire, I'm not going to argue with you. I will discuss the bible but arguing is something I won't do. If you want to learn about the bible please visit JW.org or wol.jw.org. Have a wonderful day. As a first step I would recommend finding out WHO Moses, Samuel, King David, Solomon, Isaiah, and Daniel were and WHEN they lived.

(Revelation 12:12) Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.
Let's analyze this verse.
First, what is the "sea"?
The answer is found at Isaiah 57:20, "But the wicked are like the restless sea that cannot calm down, And its waters keep tossing up seaweed and mire."
What does "the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time" mean? WHY does the Devil have a short period of time?
Romans 16:20 provides the answer, "For his part, the God who gives peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly."
1 John 3:8 also states, "The one who practices sin originates with the Devil, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God (Jesus) was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil."
Very soon this system under Satan's influence going to come to an end or be "broken up". What can you do? Take action! Learn about Jehovah. Learn about Jesus. Learn about God's kingdom. Study the Bible. It means your life. (John 17:3)
Jehovah's Witnesses will be happy to study the bible with you for free. JW.org

(Psalms 11:5)
Jehovah examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one;
He hates anyone who loves violence.
(Proverbs 6:16-19)
There are six things that Jehovah hates;
Yes, seven things that he detests:
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart plotting wicked schemes, and feet that run quickly to evil,
A false witness who lies with every breath,
And anyone sowing contentions among brothers.
(1 John 4:8)
Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
(Romans 13:9,10)
For the law code, “You must not commit adultery, you must not murder, you must not steal, you must not covet,” and whatever other commandment there is, is summed up in this saying: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does not work evil to one’s neighbor.
These people only represent hatred, murder and violence; things Almighty God hates. Even Almighty God doesn't take pleasure in killing anyone even wicked people.
(Ezekiel 18:23)
Do I take any pleasure at all in the death of a wicked person?’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. "Do I not prefer that he turn away from his ways and keep living?"
