Is it true that The Muslim's Allah teaches that you should kill people who do not agree with you?

Question

I can't believe this is true. Is this just a misconception of people who know little of Islam?

Answer 1

Sort of... holy books can be interpreted by radicals or fundamentalists to justify just about any personal or political agenda.

Just think about how many people have been killed in the name of Christianity. Islam is known as the "religion of peace", and its teachings are remarkably similar to those found in the Christian Bible. Extremists on both sides will point fingers, and say that the other is a world evil, and should be handled accordingly. Sadly, its just another case of humans messing up a beautiful ideal.

Answer 2

NO it's not true this is what people get off anti-islamic sites like prophetofdoom.com which give u incorrect translations of both the quran and the hadith like the ones in the first post. Also another thing people have the habbit of doing is taking a little extract from a paragraph of the quran and not showing what comes before that extract or after it which basically changes the whole meaning of the extract, this can be done with any religon's holy book. Watch the following video and u'll get ur answer:

Answer 3

Allah created humans and gave them the chance for eternal happiness but some of them insist in going to hell, this is their choice and no one can help them if they don't want to help themselves. Islam respects the human life and protect it even for unbelievers, but those who kill Muslims are not immune and this is a natural right not only in Islam but all doctrines.

The holy Quran 5:32
On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone 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.

Answer 4

ISLAM IS A RELIGION WHICH TEACHES PEACE AND HUMANITY. ISLAM DOES NOT IN ANY WAY TEACH HATRED. IT TEACHES MUSLIMS TO RESPECT PEOPLE OF OTHER RELIGIONS AND IT SAYS THAT KILLING A HUMAN BEING OF ANY RELIGION IS LIKE KILLING WHOLE OF HUMANITY.
and those who are killing other people are not in any way muslims.They are entirely against the teachings of ISLAM and are creating an extremely wrong and bad image of this religion in front of other people of this world,which is not true...INFACT ISLAM IS ONE OF THOSE RELIGIONS WHICH NOT ONLY TALKS ABOUT BELIEVING GOD BUT ALSO ASKS MUSLIMS TO RESPECT RIGHT OF OTHERS NO MATTER OF WHATEVER RELIGION...
DO NOT JUDGE THIS RELIGION BY WHAT SOME CRAZY PEOPLE(WHO ARE AGAINST THE TEACHING OF ISLAM) ARE DOING IN TODAYS WORLD...INFACT THERE ARE EVEN VERY WRONG BOOKS PUBLISHED BY MANY PEOPLE IN THE WESTERN WORLD WHICH GIVES WRONG TEACHINGS WHICH ARE NOT OF ISLAM...
PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THIS(BY TAKING GUIDANCE FROM TRUE SCHOLARS AND BOOKS) AND YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT WHATEVER HAS BEEN STATED AGAINST ISLAM IS ALL WRONG AND IS BEING DONE TO DAMAGE THE IMAGE OF THIS GREAT RELIGION...

Answer 6

Tarnation! Ain't nobody read the bible?! It tells you to kill people a dozen times in there. How about "thou shall not suffer a witch to live" for starters! Anyone that uses the bible should be killing folk all the time! Hallelujah!

Answer 8

The following quotes are taken from M. H. Shakir’s translation of the Qur’an (Tahrike Tarsile Qur’an, Inc., New York):


Surah II: 98 – “Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.”
Surah II: 191-193 – “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them….Fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah.”
Surah II: 216 – “Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.”
Surah III: 19 – “Surely the true religion with Allah is Islam…and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.”
Surah IV: 104 – “Be not weak in pursuit of the enemy.”
Surah V: 51 – “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whosoever among you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Surah VIII: 12 – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Surah VIII: 15-17 – “O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, turn not your backs to them. Whoever shall turn his back to them on that day – unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company – then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath, and his abode is hell… So you did not slay them, but it was Allah who slew them…that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
Surah IX: 29 – “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth… until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.”
Surah IX:33 – “[Allah] it is who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though polytheists may be averse.”
Surah IX: 73 – “O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination.”
Surah IX: 123 – “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in your hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).”
There you have it – straight from the Koran. It is this writer’s hope and prayer not only that many Islamic terrorists might be miraculously converted (as was Saul on the road to Damascus – see Acts 9), but that millions of peace-loving Muslims will have their eyes opened, will stop denying the truth, and will finally reject the Koran as a source of evil teachings. These teachings have been inspired, not by the Creator of all life, but by an invisible terrorist whom Jesus Christ identified as “a murderer from the beginning, who abode not in the truth” (John 8:44). Jesus taught love for the entire world, including our enemies (Matthew 5:44). He sacrificed His own life to pay for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3). Salvation comes by faith in Him alone (Acts 4:12). His Book is truth, not the Koran.

Answer 9

I can see some will be mad at that question. It appears some Muslims beleive it though.

Answer 10

Yes. According to what I have read in their book
