Lots of Islamophobia in the comments here. It should be noted that plenty of Torah and Bible (several different versions) verses call for actions against one’s enemies.

All religion is trash, just let this shit go.

And here. Cherry picking and out of context, like the other guy’s:

Zechariah 14:2 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

Zechariah 10:5 5 Together they will be like warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the LORD is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame

Jeremiah 51:20 ESV “You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms;

Isaiah 19:2 ESV And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, each against another and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
