I don't dispute that the Bible has violent verses, but Deuteronomy 20 is not inciting violence. It's saying "When you go to war...", not that the reader SHOULD go to war. It also has a paragraph "When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace." Later on, it mentions specific historical groups of people that the letter is specifically talking about. On the other hand, the Surah verse is more of a call to war, referring to "unbelievers" and "polytheists," also saying that the reader should "...kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush." I'm sure you could find verses in the Bible that are more violent, but I doubt you'll find any comparable to the worst that Islam has to offer.
