Why do you only talk about "ten" commandments and not the other six hundred and three: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_commandments https://en.wikipedia.org/w

  Because it's only thing which is clearly separated as "the actual words of god" in the Bible, compared to the Quran which is "the whole separated book of the actual words of Allah." If we'd count everything from the Bible, we'd have to count everything from the Hadiths ("The life of Muhammad," much bigger than the Quran) including all the killings ordered by Muhammad (once, 900 Jews were beheaded at once after they surrendered) which are described there but not in Quran. Now the life of Muhammad was actually used by Muslim law makers to produce the Sharia Law, but what did Jews and Christians do with the "every Jot and Tittle," in the words of Steve Wells: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/EJAT/intro.html http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/EJAT/intro.html "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law. Matthew 5:18 If Jesus really said these words, he wasn’t much of a prophet. Because nearly every jot and tittle of biblical law is ignored by his followers today, as it has been throughout the history of Christianity. Even the Jews stopped obeying most of the commandments after the temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE.1 And yet despite Jesus's prophecy, the earth is still here."

    Sounds like special pleading to me.
