Boston: 20 Muslims rally against terrorism

August 20, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Via JihadWatch:

Look also at the signs in the photo above. The sign reading “To save one/to save humanity – To kill one/to kill humanity” is a reference to Qur’an 5:32: “We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.”

Note the exception: “unless for a soul or for corruption in the land.” This is explained further in the immediately succeeding verse, 5:33: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth to cause corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.”

So while taking a life may be tantamount to killing all humanity, if one is spreading “corruption in the land” then one should be “killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.” And that is exactly the charge that Islamic jihadists often make to justify their violence against unbelievers: that their victims were spreading “corruption.”
