How many times following an attack on infidels do we see the following words?

"...whosoever killeth a human being... it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind..."

This comes from a verse in the Koran 5:32 to be exact,

it is only part of the verse and the full verse is as follows:5:32:

"For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), but afterwards lo! Many of them become prodigals of the earth."

Archi did a full analysis of the verse which is linked to the Cain and Abel story and he also found a passage from the Mishnah which is a Jewish commentary on the Torah from which Mohammad plagiarised this verse from.

I do not want to go into the detail of this but I want to focus on the words "or corruption in the earth.

"The Koran says that the presence of disbelievers causes confusion and corruption in the land and therefore Muslims must join together to oppose them (8:73).Islamic jurisprudence deems that mixing with non-believers will cause mischief and corruption, disbelief, while oppression refers to any words, actions or institutions that go against or impede the full unrestricted practice of Islam.

Non-Muslims, according to the Koran, are not considered innocent civilians. They are "guilty" of disbelief (45:31, 83:29) - the worst crime. The Koran says that non-Muslims are against Allah (25:55); on the side of the Satan and are fighting for him (4:76-77); "evil" (16:27, 2:91, 2:99); the "wrong-doers" (2:254, 5:45); the "enemy" and "perverted" (63:4); "wicked" (80:42, 9:125); hypocrites (4:61); "unclean" (9:28). As for whether non-Muslims are civilians, the Koran is not even clear that non-Muslims are fully human. Instead, the disbelievers are the "worst of created beings" (98:6); "miscreants" (2:99, 24:55); "the worst beasts in Allah's sight" (8:55), "apes" and/or "pigs" (2:65-66, 5:58-60, 7:166), and so on. Verse 60:4 says followers of Allah will hate the disbelievers forever, unless the disbelievers come to believe in Allah only.

Think about this thorough demonization of disbelievers, together with the conception of disbelief as the worst possible crime. Now think about how easy it would be for a Koran-believing Muslim to find a non-Muslim guilty of corruption on earth or war against God. Keep in mind that much of the words, deeds, and customs of the non-Muslims happen to go against Islam. So in a nutshell you as an Unbeliever are guilty of the greatest crime which is unbelief, your very presence causes corruption so therefore that verse that they preach is actually justifying the act of violence that was carried out by Muslims. The only innocent as far as Islam is concerned is a devout Muslim.

So the next time you hear that verse in that context, realize that the Imam stating it is actually siding with the Terrorists.
