>>5) QURAN 5:32 COMMANDS MUSLIMS NOT TO KILL NON-MUSLIMS UNLESS RETALIATION OF MURDER
Quran 5:32, "...if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind..." <<
You have again left out the first few words which tells us that Allah is referring only to the Children of Israel. Why don't you post the verse in full, Nozzi??
>>The phrase, not in retaliation of murder, in Quran 5;32 implies that nobody has fought with us and/or slaughter our muslim fellows. The word, anyone, in Quran 5:32 certainly refers to muslims as well as non-muslims since a person, does not restrict itself to only muslims.<<
Let me post the first few words of the verse again for your readers: "Because of this, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone…."
Therefore Nozzi, the 'anyone' refers only to Jews and is not all-inclusive.
>>As the phrase, if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, is mentioned n Quran 5:32 with the phrase, it would be killed all mankind, it implies that it is illegal for muslims to slaughter non-muslims unless they have fought with us and/or we fight as a result of our retaliation of murder with them.<<
Nozzi, why do you keep on using 5:32 so dishonestly to make your point? I have found this to be true for Muslims who quote this verse, they simply cut out the first few words. You are playing with Allah's words, Nozzi and that could mean hell.
7) QURAN 2:212 COMMANDS US NOT TO FIGHT WHEN NON-MUSLIMS JUST MOCK AT US INSTEAD OF FIGHTING WITH US
>>Quan 2:212, "Beautied is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, and they mock at those who believe. But those who obey Allah's orders and keep away from what has forbidden, will be above them on the Day of Resurrection..." The phrase, those who disbelieve, in Quran 2;212 certainly refers to unbelievers. The word, mock, in Quran 2;212 implies that non-muslims speak badly against muslims.<<
The Koran accuses the non-Muslims of mocking those who believe in Allah. What about Allah, is He innocent of mockery of non-Muslims? Read:
21:98 Lo! Ye and that which ye worship besides Allah are fuel for hell…
Quran 22:30, "That (shall be so); and whoever respects the sacred ordinances of Allah, it is better for him with his Lord; and the cattle are made lawful for you, except that which is recited to you, therefore avoid the uncleanness of the idols and avoid false words,"
Allah feels free to not only mock and abuse non-Muslims but also threatens them with torture.
