Islam 101: Koran Verse 5:32~ A License to Kill | Loganswarning

I am sure that many of us have heard Muslims make the following statement.

“To kill one innocent man or woman is to kill all of humanity; to save one human is to save all of humanity.”

When they say this they are being very deceptive. They are leaving out the most important part of the verse, which is “unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land” Here it is in its entirety.

005.032
YUSUFALI: 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.

Obviously “mischief in the land” is a very open statement, and “mischief” can be defined as almost anything.
