Killing is an act. Murdering is a crime. Like in the 10 Commandments; Thou Shalt Not Commit Murder.

There are many differences and similarities, since a death can be both at the same time. It depends on the law, circumstances, country, and time period you happen to find yourself in.
For example, many Americans think we are killing terrorists in Iraq (perfectly legal moral, and justifiable).
Almost every other person on earth thinks we are murdering innocent people in Iraq (illegal, immoral, and unjustifiable).
Who is right?
Whoever wins. And, right now Bush and America are losing. So, be prepared to be viewed and treated as a murderer, because in their eyes, we are the killers of innocent women and children.
It does not matter that we are the most powerful nation. If the world decides we're the evil empire, we're screwed. Murdered or killed - dead is dead.

Yes.
Murder is a type of killing.
Killing someone in self defense is not considered murder.
Being killed in an accident is not murder.
Being killed by disease is not murder.
Abortion is not murder because it is lawful.
Murder is the unlawful killing of one human by another,

Depends on your religious beliefs. Some will say 'yes' because it's alright to kill someone in war, etc... So, in that case, there is a difference.
If you believe that it is wrong to kill any human, regardless of the situation, it's all murder.

Yes- Intent. Killing can be accidental whereas murder connotes intentional killing. Murder also implies ill will whereas killing does not strongly suggest that.

Yes. Killing is sometimes necessary. I.e.: you are an old lady and someone attacks you, so you choke the life out of him with your bare hands...thats killing
Murder is when you kill someone and you didnt have to.

yes there is. "killing" someone in self defense is not murder if they were trying to kill you. Killing someone because they slept with your wife/husband is murder

Yes. One means that there is pain involved, i.e. "My tennis elbow is killing me."
The other means homicide.
