No, they don't. Jihad happens when they do.

The OT was replaced by the NT.

More of your low IQ bullshit. Jihad is caused by abnormalities of the temporal lobe.

The OT was not replaced by the NT for Jewish people and is still part of the Bible for most Christian denominations.

When nutjobs like you have temporal lobe abnormalities and take it literally, it provides your justification to kill.

Theology Network - Reading Violence in the Old Testament

"As theology and biblical studies students we are constantly faced with deeply troubling images of violence: the gang rape, murder and dismemberment of an unnamed woman; children being mauled by bears at the command of a prophet; a woman being threatened with death by fire for being pregnant while unmarried; children being offered up as sacrifices; not to mention the divinely-mandated genocide of several people-groups.  

As evangelical Christians (and signed up members of our Christian Unions) we’re onboard with the whole ‘infallibility of Scripture’ thing. As the UCCF Doctrinal Basis puts it: 'The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of belief and behaviour.' "

If you actually knew anything about the Old Testament, you'd know the WHY.

If you knew anything about covenants, which obviously you don't, you'd know that the OT and Judaism is based on them. However, in Jeremiah 31:31 (that's in the OT) GOD says the previous covenants will be replaced by a NEW COVENANT. That happened a few hundred years later with Yeshua and the atonement (or redemption) for all sin on the cross for "without the shedding of blood there is no atonement from sin" (Leviticus 17:11)..

In Genesis 22, Isaac asked his father Abraham "where is the lamb for the burnt offering" to which Abraham responded "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." (Genesis 22:7-8).

Yeshua was the perfect Lamb of GOD who shed his blood one time for all mankind's sins, even yours.

Without Yeshua, the Tenakh and Judaism is as asinine as the Quran and Islam and Jews are just as lost and living unredeemed lives as Muslims. are

"That happened a few hundred years later with Yeshua and the atonement (or redemption) for all sin on the cross ..." Not according to Judaism it didn't.

Muslims believe that Jesus (called “Isa” in Arabic) was a prophet of God and was born to a virgin (Mary). They also believe he will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjal, or “the false messiah” — also known as the Antichrist.

In contrast, according to Judaism, Jesus did not fulfill messianic prophecies that establish the criteria for the coming of the messiah. Judaism teaches that it is heretical for any man to claim to be God, part of God, or the literal son of God. 

According to the Torah (Deuteronomy 13:1–5 and 18:18–22), the criteria for a person to be considered a prophet or speak for God in Judaism are that he must follow the God of Israel (and no other god); he must not describe God differently from how he is known to be from Scripture; he must not advocate change to God's word or state that God has changed his mind and wishes things that contradict his already-stated eternal word.There is no concept of the Messiah "fulfilling the law" to free the Israelites from their duty to maintain the mitzvot in Judaism, as is understood in much of Christianity or some Messianic Judaism.

Deuteronomy 13:1 says, "Be careful to observe only that which I enjoin upon you; neither add to it nor take away from it."

Any divergence espoused by Jesus from the tenets of biblical Judaism would disqualify him from being considered a prophet in Judaism. This was the view adopted by Jesus' contemporaries, as according to rabbinical tradition as stated in the Talmud (Sotah 48b) "when Malachi died the Prophecy departed from Israel." As Malachi lived centuries before Jesus it is clear that the rabbis of Talmudic times did not view Jesus as a divinely inspired prophet. Furthermore, the Bible itself includes an example of a prophet who could speak directly with God and could work miracles but was "evil", in the form of Balaam.

The Yeshu in rabbinic literature was a disciple of Joshua ben Perachiah, and not to be confused with Jesus (Vikkuah Rabbenu Yechiel mi-Paris). 

Profiat Duran's anti-Christian polemic Kelimmat ha-Goyim ("Shame of the Gentiles", 1397) makes it evident that Duran gave no credence to Yechiel's theory of two Jesuses.

In the Toledot Yeshu the name of Yeshu is taken to mean yimakh shemo. In all cases of its use, the references are to Yeshu are associated with acts or behaviour that are seen as leading Jews away from Judaism to minuth, a term usually translated as "heresy" or "apostasy."

In 1910, Hermann Strack wrote Jesus, die Häretiker und die Christen nach den ältesten jüdischen Angaben (Jesus, the heretics and the Christians according to the oldest Jewish data), which found no evidence of a historical Jesus in the Talmud.

The identification of Jesus with any number of individuals named Yeshu has numerous problems, as most of the individuals are said to have lived in time periods far detached from that of Jesus.

In the Talmud in Gittin 56b and 57a, a story is told in which Onkelos summons up the spirit of “Yeshu the Nazarene”, who had “sought to harm Israel”. Yeshu describes his punishment in the afterlife as boiling in excrement.

You are full of excrement pfwag.
