Koran teaches that "He who saves one life..."?
Reader comment on item: Debating PBS's "Muhammad" Documentary
Submitted by David (United States), Dec 20, 2002 at 00:05
The PBS transcript quotes Kevin Jones as saying that, "The Koran teaches you that the saving of one life is as if you saved all of humanity".What a wonderful thought.
If the Koran does in fact say that, then it might be worthwhile to point out that it originates with the Rabbis of the Talmud (Mishna and Midrash), 700 years before the advent of Islam.
And, it starts by saying, "Whoever destroys one life ....".
Lets pass that one on also to our Moslem breatheren.
