"Passages of the Koran taken out of context are brandished as evidence Islam requires believers to kill or convert others." says Bobby Ghosh, in the August 30th, 2010 issue of Time Magazine.
It is passing strange that the American Left continues to schill for Islam.
Let us take a particular quote out of the Koran IN Context.
Often, islamophiles like to quote Sura 5:32... well, quote is innacurate. They love to paraphrase it: "Howsoever kills a human being kills all mankind..."
But reading this quote in context reveals quite another idea:
Sura 5:25 He (Moses) said "Oh My Lord! I have power only over myself and my brother: so separate us from this rebelious people!" (the Jews)
5:26 Allah said: thefore will the lqand be out of thier reach for forty years: in distraction they will wander through the land: but sorrow though not over these rebellious people."
5:27 Recite them the truth of the story of the two sons of Adam! Behold! they each present a sacrifice (to Allah): it was acceptd from one,bu not the other. Said the latter: "be sure I will slay thee." "Surely," said th former," Allah accepts th sacrifice of those who are righteous."
5:28 :If you stretch your hand against me, to slay me, i is not for me to stretch my hand against you to slay you: for I do fear Allah, the cherisher of worlds.
5:29 "For me, I intend to let the draw on theyself my sin as well as your own, for you will be among the companioins of the fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong."
5:30 The selfish soul of hte other led him to murder his brother: He murdered him and became one of he lost ones.
5:31 Then Allah sent a raven, who scratch the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" he said: "was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" Then he became full of regrets.
5:32 On that account: we ordained for the children of israel that if anyone slew a person, unless it be fore murder or spreading mischief in the land it would be as if he slew the whole people: And if anyone 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 hyet, even after that, many of them continued to commit michief in the land.
5:33 The punishment of those who wge war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or the exile from the land; that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theres in the hearafter:
5:34 Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case, know that Allah is Oft Forgiving and Most Merciful.
I include the portion referring to Cain and Able simply to show how it follows. It is, in the end, irrelevant.
These passeges apply to Jews. Be good, or else. Submit, or else! Jews, who have made mischief in the land, as asserted at the end of sura 5:32, are universally guilty and may be put to death for doing so as asserted in the beginning of that same verse. They can escape this fate only by submitting to Islam (5:34).
Bobby Ghosh aught to choose his words more carfully... Unfortunately for him, and Time Magazine, his article is factually challenged at best.
Apparently, Newsbusters has noticed Mr. Ghosh's lack of credulity as well...
