[citation][nom]specter0420[/nom]http://www.islam101.com/quran/yusufAli/index.htm has the translation you spoke of. It says the same as the other two, just uses slightly different wording... Did you read any of the quotes i posted??? Go read 8:12, it's directed at people who openly oppose the word of allah (unbelievers)! It talks of splitting fingers (torture) and beheading (killing but cutting off the head) of people that appose islam! Open your eyes, read the book, make your own judgements![/citation]
If you had read anything before or after your quote you would realize this passage is talking about war and when being attacked. Islam never claimed to be a pacifistic religion. You should also make note that the Quran distinguishes between Muslims and Believers. A Muslim is not necessarily a Believer nor is a Believer necessarily a Muslim.
It says if you are attacked do not turn, do not run (unless part of strategy), continue to fight until you win or the other side yields. Nowhere does it say to randomly go about murdering people.
