there is a passage in the bible of the ten commandments that says that you cannot kill anyone, but there is also something in christianity and other religions that are trying to classify this sorta thing as a "Just War", which means that it's acceptable based upon justifiable cause. it's like in Islam they have what is known as Jihad (which has a few different meanings) but is commonly known as a "holy war" and is allowed because it's a 'just war'. they feel that it is the right thing to do because of the severity.

No! this verse refer to those who are attacking muslims unfairly and give them hard time. if you continue reading the next verse (90) you will understand.\n\nQuran 4:(89, 90)\n[89] They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of God (to Muhammad (peace be upon him)) But if they turn back (from Islâm), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them. \n\n[90] "Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had God willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then God has opened no way for you against them." \n\n\nalso in this verse it explains even more\nQuran 2:190\n\n"And fight in the Way of God those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, God does not love the transgressors."

There are a lot of things God has asked Christians to do that we don't anymore because they are antiquated.\nPeople conform their religion to the current society/evolution and that is why most muslims don't kill non-believers.\nDon't incite rage. Don't hate.

I've always wonder about that myself.  Technically speaking, 'murder' means to kill someone with intent and with premeditation.  Soldiers are certainly killing with intent, and they are also going into battle with the foreknowledge that they will have to kill.  So, regardless of whether your version of the Bible says 'thou shall not kill' or 'thou shall not murder', the act of killing in war breaks this commandment. I mean, could you picture Jesus picking up an M-16, shooting an enemy to death, and then saying that it is 'OK because I killed in the context of war'?  It just doesn't seem like his style.  In fact, it contradicts everything that he taught.

first of all, there is no crime in Islam that is punishable by death. a person should be punished for the crime -- but the punishment should NOT be death. it is a very big misconception people have. if u read the Quran, Allah says, if someone does commit a crime then flog then -- 80 or 100 stripes and after that make the guilty give CHARITY and let the guilly FAST. in Islam, REPENTANCE IS GIVEN A LOT MORE IMPORTANCE RATHER THAN PUNISHMENT.\n\nhow did stoning -- which was Pre-Islamic Law -- come into Islam? it comes from here --The most accepted collection of Hadith Sahih al Bukhari has 4 entries under 3829, 8804, 8805 and 8824 which refer to stoning by death. The case under 4829 involved Jews who were stoned to death in accordance with the Law of the Torah. 8805 says: "A married man from the tribe of Bani Aslam who had committed illegal sexual intercourse and bore witnesses four times against himself was ordered by the Prophet (s.a.s.) to be stoned to death". \nhere u can clearly see that the people IN QUESTION WERE JEWS and it was aLAW OF TORAH TO BE STONED TO DEATH NOT OF ISLAM. when they asked prophet Muhammed-pbuh, he said FOLLOW THE LAW OF TORAH, but years later muslim men incorporated this as a rule in Islam. so who should be blamed? Islam, Allah, Qu'ran, Muhammed-pbuh or the half/no -knowledgable followers?\n\nsecond, Allah does say in the Quran that -- i have made a man and a woman and out of u built nations and tribes and languages. so being a homosexual means u move away from nature.  \n\nAllah says in the Quran -- i have given u the critereon of right and wrong and i have given u FREEWILL, now its ur choice, but one will have to answer on Day of Judgement.  but NO WHERE in Quran did Allah give any mortal the authority or power over th other. no man in Islam can judge another -- apart from the regular judiciary similar to that what our Govts hold. \n\nbut one should not forget that when an individual prefers to be a homosexual, then they are also His Creation, His people. and Allah says that -- At-Takwir | 29 verses | The Overthrowing \nSura #81 | Makkah \n28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight. \n29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

The commandment is correctly translated as 'thou shall not murder'.  Killing, in self-defense or in a time of war is permitted, even obligatory.

I am a Muslim and i TOTALLY disagree with attacks on civilians.Killing civilians is totally not allowed in Islam so those who do it are mislead and i even doubt it if they are Muslims at all.A teaching in our holy book goes like this TO KILL EVEN A SINGLE INNOCENT MAN IS EQUIVALENT TO KILLING THE WHOLE HUMANITY.So those with little knowledge about our religion should enlighten themselves before reaching to any conclusions.

It's right, I'm a christian and I know Allah (Islam God) says kill non-follower of islam and not to befriend people of other religion. That's a bad thing.

Muhammad (pbuh) will strongly disapprove this LilPink  because he told us the teaching of Allah( GOD) n he has clearly told that never kill innocent ,ladies, old peoples or rest of the  peacful peoples and fight only to those who are fighting with u, He told us not to destroy even vegetation if u are fighting in enemy area.....and fight only to those who attack you. well killing in islam is basicaly for defensive purpose n God doen't like killing innocents.....killing is only allowed for war purpose  .like when u are attacked by some invader who want to destrou your sovereingnty u should fight with them .......for those redical muslims i must say they are Wrong totaly wrong and they are terrorist........they are not following true islam and these are the peoples who brought bad name to our religion but the worse thing is that rest of the world also judge islam on basis of those redicals....they are  not following islam..i must say they are equal to that terrorism that is being practised in Iraq and Afghanistan, \n  the sad aspect is that there are redicals in other religions as well but only islam is judged on  their activites while rest of the religions are spared.... anyways..simple answer to ur question is that Yes Muhammad will strongly condemn such activities.which are surely terrorism..\n\n peace!!

Much of this is symbolic talk.. there is no where in the Quran that says anything about either 70 or 72 virgins.  70 by the way implies infinity from 7, which is symbolically is a week, which keeps coming year after year.\n\nAli (the heir of the Prophet Mohammad) and Caliph of the Muslims said there are three categories of Muslims.  The slaves, the business people, the TRUE BELIEVERS.  Slave-Muslims are those who do good out of fear of punishment and hell.  Businessmen-Muslims are those who do good for gain of paradise or heaven, but the TRUE MUSLIMS are those who do good for the sake of Allah (SWT), to please God.  Their actions are the most superior, as they have no personal motive in it.\n\nOne more thing.  It is not allowed to kill the innocent in Islam.  Everyone is made and nourished by Allah (SWT or Subhaanahoo Wa Ta'ala which means "Holy is HE, THE MOST HIGH!".  Allah literally means THE-GOD, a conjugation of the words THE or AL and ILAH or god, any god). \n\nQuran 5:32 says KILLING one innocent person is like killing all humanity and saving one innocent life is saving all humanity (the context is the killing of Abel by Cain).  Cain not only killed abel but also everyone who would come in the lineage of Abel as well, thousands and millions of people.  So, killing the innocent is a grave and capital crime which can get you the death penalty in Islam.  Killing of a human being is allowed ONLY in self defence or for crimes that are of a capital nature, such as murder and rape etc.\n\nQuran 10:99 says "If Allah willed it, all nations would be Muslims.  Would you then use force to convert?".  Quran 2:257 also says "Compulsion is not allowed in the matter of faith and conscience", as the Lord has given everyone the FREE WILL, based on which we will be judged.  If Free Will is not allowed to be excercised, again one is quetioning God's authority no less!! These verses do show that some Arabs wanted people to be forced to believe in Islam and in spite of these powerful instructions some Muslims DID FORCE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE! even after the Quran having logically refuting it.  \n\nIf someone forces anyone to ISLAM after these verses, they are themselves criminals in accordance with the laws enshrined iin the Quran.  Ignorance is not an excuse in some issues.\n\nPeace

It lies in the interpretation of the texts by people.  I do not think that Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha or any of the Hindi deities said it is OK to go out and kill the innocents.  It is people who are manipulating the religions for their own benefits.  Cowards.

When a Christian or a Jew kills someone his religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial! When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him. \nBut when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!

according to Muslim law, if i am correct, is to not take another religion. (a religion he was probably born into) \nso when he leaves the 'courthouse' (or whatever it's called, i don't know) another Muslim, according to religion, should kill him.\nwith government and religion being so tightly connected there i don't know exactly how the government got out of killing him except maybe knowing that he will be soon.\n\ni feel so badly for this man. i pray for his soul to be protected (as well as his body). he must be strong in his faith knowing his future is so unpredictable.\n\nto be Muslim or Christian takes great faith. and to change religions at such an age takes great courage and strength.

It's interesting how Muslims deny or lack knowledge  about their own faith!!! if you trust the translations of any Quran, then you must accept for a fact that God has given permission to the husband as the last "option" to hit his wife!!! \nNow,  because I am a woman  and Muslim who like to use logic, I refused to accept that, because I know for a fact, God does not use force to get things done! In Islam Divorce is an acceptable option given by God. I found a verse in the same chapter that uses the same root word (zha-ra-ba), translated as hit, as a totally different meaning, Moving out! so the last option would be a divorce not hitting your wife!!!! there are many verses that has been mis-translated in the Quran and Muslims are stupid and ignorant to realize that! another example is chopping off the hands of a thief, taken literally and it has been practiced for years!!! Muslims are in big trouble facing their creator!

peace be upon you.\ni'm a muslim so i cannot answer this as it will be bias...\nto my non-muslim friends who quoted from Quran, please take extra steps to understand the context of the verse. look also at the full verse, the verses before and after it and also the history and the conditions when and why the verse(s) were revealed...\n\nlet me put out an example by giving a sentence,\n\na policeman shot dead the man as self defense.\n\nif i take just take the 1st half of the sentence, of course the policeman looks bad. but what if we know the full context...\n\nAllah knows best.\n\npeace
