Hi OnceAndFutureKing,
Quoting the Bible is perfectly acceptable, and you have a point. However please note that you are quoting the Old Testament; you are not quoting the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. Hence you are more essentially quoting from Judaism than from Christianity.

1) I know many Christians who hold the Old Testament in high esteem, and aren't so cavalier in turning it aside as you are.
2) To hold to your standard, we should also be in the process of 'fighting back against Jews, and driving them back from whence they came' or whatever such nonsense you believe we ought to be currently doing to Muslims because their religion is inherently violent and that they present a danger to the peace-loving religions of the world.
See anything justifiable about that? I don't.
