The Muslim Game:
In an effort to portray their religion as non-violent, Muslim apologists
vigorously employ verse 5:32, which would appear to promote a universal
principal that all life is sacred to Allah - especially the way it is
typically quoted by apologists:
"…if any one slew a person… it would be as if he slew a whole people; and
if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of a whole
people…"
(As quoted by the Fiqh Council of North America in their ultimately
meaningless “Fatwa against Terrorism”)
The Truth:
This fragment of verse 5:32 is what the apologists want non-Muslims to
believe is in the Qur’an, as opposed to the dozens of other open-ended
passages that command warfare, beheadings and torture. But even what they
usually quote from 5:32 isn’t quite how it appears. Remember all those
ellipses? There's something being left out.
Here’s the full text of the verse:“On that account: We ordained for the
Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder
or for spreading mischief 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 messengers with clear
signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in
the land.”
First, notice the gaping loophole. Killing is allowed in cases of murder or
“for spreading mischief in the land.” Murder is pretty straightforward,
but “spreading mischief?” If anything begged for a careful and precise
explanation, this phrase certainly would. But generations of Muslims are
left to apply their own interpretation of what “mischief” means - with
varying standards. Violating Sharia law or sharing a different religious
faith appears to qualify. Verse 7:103 of the Quran even indicates that
merely rejecting Muhammad and the Quran counts as "mischief". |
