Cute, but my guess is most monotheist members of these religions are not textual literalists.  Even the small minority who are still have to do exegesis and interpretation.  I was just trying, by quoting an obvious passage ordering genocide, to show that we can't just look at the sacred texts and draw implications on how so called believers will act.
