Justify actions through the Quran

Justify actions through the Quran

The guest view article by Javeed Akhter (posted 4/21/2105), "Words from Muhammad's true followers," misquotes the Quran, Surah 5:32, "If you kill an innocent, it is as if you have killed all mankind."

However, the full and correct quote of Surah 5:32 reads, "whoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he killed all mankind."

Thus, personal revenge and killing for "corruption" are justified. Those who wish to find reason for aggressive actions against those who spread "corruption in the earth" will find sufficient justification in the Quran for their actions.
