The Koran on "killing"
"I am a Muslim, and in all the Islamic lessons I have had, all the religious lectures I have been to, all the mosque sermons I have attended, never, not once, has it been preached that to kill is OK."
-- Tamim Arif, "Islam doesn't teach killing is acceptable," Tennessean
Mr./Ms. Arif obviously has not been reading his/her Koran. It took me a grand total of 5 minutes to find passages in the Koran in which killing is not only regarded as OK, it's encouraged as well. To wit:
Koran 9:73
Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their Home: an evil fate.
According to Mohammed, any barbaric act against the unbelievers is completely justified.
Koran 8:12
Remember Thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the believers, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them."
Here Mohammed is giving step by step instruction on how to torture and kill those who refuse to follow Islam.
Koran 47:4
When you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take ransom from them, until War shall lay down her burdens.
In the above verse, Mohammed is giving detailed instruction about how to maim and torture unbelievers in Jihad. And finally when the Muslims are satisfied enough after torturing and maiming the unbelievers, they should proceed to demand ransom for the captives. All for the sake for all-merciful Allah!
Koran 5:33-34
The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom; Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is Forgiving, merciful.
In this verse, Mohammed devises another recipe for torturing unbelievers. This particular recipe involves chopping off alternate limbs and expelling non-Muslims out of the land.
