firs of all,
i think that Seal of the prophet is the mark that all the prophets are born with . its on there shoulder or back(im not sure)
second of all. id like to reply to(0900)..
i don't know what kind of Quran translator he used? but if u are going to translate a sura translate the hole thing coz one Aya dose not make sense on its one. u are only quoting what u want. only ur view.. i believe lots words were lost in translation
fore example sura 5 it called (al maedah)
u only translated5:33(and it was a wrong translation)
i will translate(5:32-34) i cant translate all the sura coz its so long but if the askers want more info i sagest to get an English Arabic dictionary and an Arabic Quran - English translation on the back..
(5:32)
''children of Israeli(coz at that time they were the only ones that believed in god) those who kill a sole that is innocent(murder) it would be like he killed the population on earth(meaning that a sole is precose)and those who help a sole, it would be like they helped the population on earth''
(5:33)-the real translation in A-
''Those who do not believe in god existence or in his Prophets(this message is for people long time ago, meaning that these people who have killed there prophets(coped the prophets head e.g Zakariy) and demanded out of mockery a prophet of gods existence(even though the prophet did show them signs).)
(awo yasaawona fi al-arde)(this means:) those who rome the earth freely and spread evilness(e.g. murder, rape, drug dealers) there penalty could be that they would be crucified or there hand and leg be cut differently(left arm an right leg) or they should be sent away from the country(castaway), (the word al-arde in A means the country in this context not the earth). that is there punishment on earth and in the after life they would be punished''
(5:34)
''those who apologies to god(promise to do there best to never make this mistake(sin) again)before they die. be rest ashore that god is Merciful and forgiving ''
*****
Muslim people believe that
all people(who believe in god) if they do a sin they will only be punished according to the degree of the sin(whether its big or small)if they apologies then they are forgiven, if they don't then they are only punched to a cretin degree to purify them and then they go to heaven

I know the answer to all those questions because you can get them easily from islamic sites. But the only thing you should know about is to stay far away from it:
Death for apostasy:
Sura 4:89 They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,”
Kill Disbelievers in a cruel fashion:
Sura 5:33: "Those who make war with Allah and his messenger will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. That is how they will be treated in this world, and in the next they will have an awful doom."
Slit throats of unbelievers:
Quran Sura 47:4: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
Amputation for petty theft:
Quran Sura 5:38: Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done—a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise.
Killing unbelievers:
9:123. O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
Dont be friends with Jews or Christians:
Sura 5:51: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your allies and protectors: They are but allies and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
Sex slaves are allowed:
4:24 Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess.
Kill disbelievers:
2:191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
Permission for a muslim man to beat his wife if she doesnt obey him:
Sura 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and **beat them**; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
Fight disbelievers:
Sura 9:29: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
