Quran 8:67 “it is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land.http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/008.qmt.html
Think about this...does this make any sense on any level? If righteous Muslims have righteously slaughtered everyone, what captives are their left to take?
Lets suppose savage Allah doesnt literally mean total extermination by his command to make "wide slaughter", still, what would be wrong with taking prisoners as opposed to wide slaughter?
Ideally no filthy religion would advocate wide slaughters or taking captives, but what this illustrates is how Islam occupies the lowest possible rung of humanity.
By the way, I thought Muhammad was the final final prophet...yet the Quran contradicts that claim here because it gives instruction, via the Quran which was revealed through Muhammad, to future prophets. Notice how it says says "its not for ANY PROPHET TO..". Well, if there are no prophets after Muhammad, then why instruct prophets?

Why are you making Christians look bad?
I'm a Buddist tho. I think your question in extremely wrong. You shouldn't try and find faults in other people. You need to find the good and bring it out. If you think what you know is good, share your knowledge. But don't call anyone filthy.

Dont you notice the other 2 translations? You are completely missing the point of the verse. What it is saying is that you cannot just go and take captives from a land unles you have conquered it.
These are the other 2 translations
YUSUFALI: It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the Hereafter: And Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.
SHAKIR: It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods of this world, while Allah desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

From all three translations that they gave, you just happened to post the one that has the word SLAUGHTER. Very credible, very credible indeed.

Quran 8:67 “it is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land.
first of all it did not say slaughter of humans,
if i am thinking of the verse i went over about 2 weeks ago in a class (which i am 99%) sure..then it means
to slaughter an animal for the prisons of war...
the people caught during a war a supposed to be treated like humans, and given every right as the people who caught the,
so watch out before you point fingers,
cuz when you point your finger you got 3 fingers pointing back at you.
