    don't see how killing a nonbeliever is any different from killing a believer. so i don't know why such title?
    anyway, it depends on intentions... for example, in war or selfdefence it's ok to go as far as killing, but in that state our intention, energy's different... yet if one does it out of aggression, hatred, anger... it's different.
    and these 2 types of energies that go through thebody at the time are completly opposite, so the end result (after this life) will also be different.

        Have you ever heard of bond labour, you can found them in Pakistan, India; they really need help to be freed from their captors.

            Qur'an 2177 Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
            It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the Prophets; and giveth his wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the God fearing.

                493 And it is not for a believer to kill another believer except by accident. And whoever kills a believer by accident, then he shall set free a believing slave, and give compensation to the family; except if they remit it. If he was from a people who are enemies to you, and he was a believer, then you shall set free a believing slave. And if he was from a people between whom you had a covenant, then a compensation to his family, and set free a believing slave. Whoever does not find, then the fasting of two months sequentially as a repentance from God; God is Knowledgeable, Wise.
                493 And whoever kills a believer intentionally, then his reward shall be Hell, eternally abiding therein, and God will be angry with him, and curse him, and for him is prepared a great retribution.

                What happens if you kill a non-believer? Thats the question. voodoo

                Non believers/those from whom we aren't safe, are in danger of death - IS THAT WHAT IT MEANS?

                  Thanks for these valuable links. The word 'mushrik' is used in contrast to the word 'momin'. And 'mushrik' are OK to kill according to chapter 9. Therefore, momin is sacred life. The difference between a Momin and a Mushrik is the Salat and Zakat. So anyone who doesn't do Salat and Zakat can be killed without penalty.

                  95 So when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill the Mushriks wherever you find them, and take them, and surround them, and stand against them at every point. If they repent, and hold the Salat and Zakat, then you shall leave them alone. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

                  Peace.

                    You'll earn yourself paradise with 72 virgins when you die..

                    Now what would happens if you kill TWO non-believers..
                    Then you'll earn yourself paradise with 144 virgins when you die..

                    What am I waiting for??? I'm going to kill my neighbours downstairs; an old man aged 88 with his wife - and demand my 144 virgins!! Estagfirullah. God, I hate those who have reduced our religion to a Satanic ideology (

                      There is not much mercy shown in any war or conflict.

                      I agree. There is a world of difference between how God wants us to behave and how humans choose to behave. Sad but true.

                            Without meaning anything, if that only applies to holy lands, then would you agree that the following can apply to every where else?

                            or not?

                              I don't think so since Salat has some connection to the House. So the area around the House should be clean of idolatry. Anywhere else the idolatry should be left alone away from holy territory. Whatever that is. D

                                    ...So anyone who doesn't do Salat and Zakat can be killed without penalty.

                                    Let's not take verses out of their context.

                                    913 clearly shows they (mushriks) are the aggressors... This 'killing' is in self-defense.

                                      What is holy territory?

                                      It is the place of all the Quranic stories. Noah, Ad, Thamud, Midian, Lot, Mitzraim, Baca etc.

                                        But why are they the aggressors???

                                        Because they are blocking the path to the House and defiling it with their idolatry....they are aggressors because they are mushriks so the only way they will get spared is to establish the Salat and Zakat or otherwise they either get out or DIE!

                                          Salam Rami,

                                          I think you have a number of assumptions in your reading which are unwarranted, such as

                                          1. That 91-12 is somehow connected with 835. There is no evidence for this.

                                          2. The word '3inda al-bait' in 835 means within the precincts of the kaaba. From this assumption, you have imported the entire traditional myth about how the kaaba in makkah used to have 360 idols and thus u assumed that 'salat' here is their ritual prayers.

                                          3. That the Quran is geographically localised to 'holy lands'. Sorry but this has no evidence. The events in Quran are happening as we speak, albeit with different actors. The script is the same.

                                          4. You have interpreted 91-12 with a distinctly religious flavour. Do you think, given the spirit of Quran, God wants believers to kill off people to pray to statues?

                                          somethings to think about, if thats ok.
