Why do Muslims kill non-believers?

Question

I mean, wouldn't it be smarter to let them live so you could keep trying to convert them?

Answer 1

It's necessary to kill infidels in order to demonstrate that Islam is the most peace-loving of all religions. When all infidels are dead, they will continue to kill each other as they have from the beginning, and then everyone will be dead and the erth will have peace.

Answer 2

Why did the Catholics kill millions of non-believers during the crusades.

Don't try denying it, most the records were burnt when soldiers burned down entire celtic pagan civilizations.That's why it's calle d the DARK ages, there were not many records of that period in time.

But flip it again and why did King henry kill thousands who did belive in catholocism.

Maybe the answer to all these is, Fear. Human nature is, we fear what we do not understand. So whan we fear something, we seak to destroy

But don't generalize them all. Most of it is the Taliban, and other fanatics, but every race and culter has their fare share, I've met a lot of Muslims, and they are really nice people. Try to learn about their culter instead of fearing it,
Too all Muslims out there:
Peace to you all, and have a pleasant day :)

Answer 3

The majority of the Muslim world are typical people, look at Western and Asian Muslims. But a non-beliver isn't someone whom follows a different religion according to the Quran. Infact,
the Quran addresses hypocrite Muslims who are disbelivers.
Muslims can only fight in self-defence, and those that harm innocent lives who call themselves Muslims and pervert the religion of Islam are called Munafiq, and Honestly in The Quran says that they are the worse of people.


Anyone who does good deeds and believes in God promised Paridise
[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.


This describes the Nonbelivers among the Muslims and other religions maybe. And also Bush and some of his Adminstation maybe.
Check it out!!

Hypocrits:
[2:8] Then there are those who say, "We believe in GOD and the Last Day," while they are not believers.

[2:9] In trying to deceive GOD and those who believe, they only deceive themselves without perceiving.

[2:10] In their minds there is a disease. Consequently, GOD augments their disease. They have incurred a painful retribution for their lying.

[2:11] When they are told, "Do not commit evil," they say, "But we are righteous!"

[2:12] In fact, they are evildoers, but they do not perceive.

[2:13] When they are told, "Believe like the people who believed," they say, "Shall we believe like the fools who believed?" In fact, it is they who are fools, but they do not know.

[2:14] When they meet the believers, they say, "We believe," but when alone with their devils, they say, "We are with you; we were only mocking."

[2:15] GOD mocks them, and leads them on in their transgressions, blundering.

[2:16] It is they who bought the straying, at the expense of guidance. Such trade never prospers, nor do they receive any guidance

Answer 4

If that were true, then logically....

There are about 2 billion followers of Islam. There area also about 6 billion people in the world. If every Muslim were killing non-believers then there would only be about 2 billion people left in the world right now. That obviously isn't happening.

Answer 5

OMA!!!! Muslims do not kill anybody. Yes if you leave Islam you will die but that is why Muslims try to revert people to Islam. For the pagans' salvation. Study Islam before you try insulting anyone. Also the Jews are killing innocent children in Lebanon and America is killing innocent Iraqis. So who is killing who? The anserw: Jews and Americans.

Answer 6

[17:33] Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand retaliation or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life, for he is helped (by the Law)
from The Quran

True muslims don't beleive in taking anyone's life(with exception of capital punishment) it is only fanatics and extremists who take this view. How would you like it if all Christians were judged by Bloody Mary or the Spanish Inquisitors?

Answer 7

As opposed to other religions?

For example: Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

Answer 8

Your flip attitude to a serious issue is not very appropriate it is not that simple and Christians are guilty of serious transgressions agains jews and moslems throughout history often times the moslem nations were in actual fact the victims

Answer 9

Hehe yeah really!


Why would anyone believe in the Koran anyway? It says that Muslims can't be friends with Christians or Jews *but* it's okay to marry a Christian or a Jew. So freakin' funny!

Answer 10

Where did you come up with such an uneducated question? I am a "non-be liver" and they have not killed me. Not all Muslims kill people get that in your brain and stop blaming the actions of a few Muslims on all Muslims!
