The Question is Settled: Which is more violent, Quran or Bible?

My favorite part is that the software used is called "OdinText". 
A particular quote from the article stood out to me, that I think needs to be shared (emphasis mine):
"I must also reemphasize that this analysis is superficial and the findings are by no means intended to be conclusive."

I think both religions are violent.

Its the systematic implementation and psychological molding that makes matters worse. Islam is implemented most rigorously than any other religion.
Almost every Christian can find something to disagree with the bible (morally, scientifically, etc). Even the church accepted that the sun is at the center of the solar system and not the way as it is said in the bible.
How many Muslims can find a fault in Koran even though it is full of faults? Even if their moral disagrees with the Koran, they will have to succumb to the Koran often pacifying themselves by saying sentences like "allah knows best" or “even the prophet did such heinous acts".
No other religion suppress one's morale the way Islam does -and it shows itself in terrorism and violence.

The thing about the Qur'an violence is that much of it is applied in society where it rules.

"An analysis of the Bible and the Quran has found that violence and destruction are discussed more frequently in Christian scripture than in the Islamic text."
Seems like a strange way of measuring it. Just discussing violence makes the book more violent? The Bible records a lot of wars in its histories, I agree that it's not very surprising, though I'm probably unsurprised for different reasons.
If they tried it again, but this time with direct commands to adherents of the religion to kill other people I'd like to see the results.

… it’s just intended to stir up lots of media furore so we can get some cheap name recognition for the text analysis software we’re selling.

I'd change that to "I must also reemphasise this analysis is meaningless and the findings are by no means intended to be meaningful"
Analysing word frequency outwith any kind of context is truly pointless. I suppose an article headlined "Man does something pointless with computer" isn't good clickbait material though.
