Honor the Parents in the Bible

Exodus 20:12 (King James Version)

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Deuteronomy 5:16 (King James Version)

Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Herein, the reason to honor the father and the mother is to make your life prolonged! However, this fact is questionable from the scientific point of view.

Kill the one who curses his father or his mother in the Bible!

Exodus 21:17 (King James Version)

And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 20:9 (King James Version)

For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Exodus 21:15 (King James Version)

And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

The Lord Jesus commands to kill the one who curses his father or his mother!

Matthew 15:4 (King James Version)

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

Mark 7:10 (King James Version)

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

The Quran Honor the Parents very much but does not command to kill the one who curses his father or his mother!

In Surah 17: 23-24, The Lord has commanded that you:
1) Worship none save Him that you declare the divine Oneness of none save Allah, exalted is He,
2) And that you show kindness to parents, be dutiful to them, be good to them
If one of them, one of the parents or both of them to attain old age with you (i.e. they live with you, they are your guests):
Do not say "Fie" or "ugh" unto them,
Do not say to them a word of contempt,
Do not address them with foul language,
Do not repulse them,
Do not be harsh with them,
Do not rebuke them,
Do not chide them,
But speak unto them a gracious, generous and kind words.
Address them in terms of honour and respect.
And, out of kindness:
Lower to them the wing of humility, the wing of humbleness out of mercy, the wing of submission through mercy,
Show them your submissive side, out of mercy, that is, on account of your affection for them,
Be compassionate towards them
And say: "my lord! Bestow on them your mercy even as they cherished me in childhood (my lord! have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little).

Read Chapter 17: AL-ISRA

23] And your lord has ordered you to worship none except him, and to be good to your parents. if either or both of them attain old age with you, do not say: "fie on you", nor rebuke them, but speak to them with words of respect.
24] And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: o my lord! Have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little

What if the Quran commands to kill the uncircumcised or the one who curses his parents? What the western media would have said? What names they have
