The [[Qur'an|Qur'anic]] verse 5:32 claims that [[Allah]] decreed for the "sons of Israel" that whoever kills a single person, it is as though he killed all of mankind (a concept lifted from the Jewish Talmud). The verse is often cited by [[dawah|duaah]] in the wake of Islamic terrorist attacks and massacres as proof that the Qur'an forbids such senseless slaughter. Yet these apologetic claims leave out the context of the entire passage and also its implications in Islamic law for dissidents in an Islamic State who do not want to abide by the strictures of [[Shariah]]. | |||
