you are twisting the verses-let me show

Dear Austin;

I am sorry to hear that you read Quran already but failed to understand it. Most of the verses in Qur'an are sometimes can not be understood by simple reading. You have to think about it, read about the events when they delivered etc. in order to understand what really lies beneath, what Allah tried to give as a message.

Lets start from your last quote. The verse. If you omit the verse before and after it and then omit also some words from the original one like you wrote it, it is called TWISTING.

The 3 verses (along with the previous and latter one you wrote) shall be like (Quran 5:32-33-34) ;

"If any one slew a person - unless it be as punishment for murder or for spreading corruption in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. The punishment of those who WAGE WAR against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; Except for those who REPENT before they fall into your power: in that case, know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

I made capital letters for anyone who tries to understand. Arent these clear enough. Allah says, even though they wage war against you, if they repent just leave them in peace. This is what our prophet has done, this is what real muslims should do.

IN ISLAM, AGGRESSION IS FORBIDDEN. FIGHTING IS PERMITTED ONLY IN SELF-DEFENCE.

Today the ones who fight while no one started a fight upon them, the ones who kill the old, the children, who make terrorist attacks, they are SINNERS. It has nothing to do with Islam.

Like the ones who kill/killed innocent people in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Russia, China are also SINNERS. They have nothing to do with Christianity or Judaism or any other.

You can not cover the sun with mud. Islam is the sun which encompasses the originals of Christianity and Judaism.

I suggest you and everyone who tries to find the right way with their life, read carefully and investigate in depth.

Farewell.

Bilal
