Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Is that Prejudiced? On the face if it much less than this 1 Samuel 15:3: "This is what the Lord Almighty says ... 'Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.' " Which is demanding Genocide. You pick a quote out of the Koran without context and ask me to comment. I have no Idea who the Mushrikun are or why they are being killed. Why is the God of the old testament demanding the Amalek put to Genocide? As to the other I do not know who the 800 are or what you are talking about. I did not ask what it is less than or more than, but thanks for the transparent attempt to change the topic. No surprise there. Or perhaps you were attempting to be on topic? After all, The left attack Christianity but supports Islam, right? Mushriken means infidel. The verse says to slaughter the infidel. Not one infidel. Not one group of them. All of them. https://islamqa.info/en/67626 What is the difference between mushrikeen and kuffaar? Are the Jews and Christians mushrikeen or kuffaar?. Published Date: 2005-02-13 Praise be to Allaah. Firstly:
The kaafir is the one who denies and conceals the truth. The basic meaning of the word kufr in Arabic is concealment. Shirk means devoting worship to anyone or anything other than Allaah.
Kufr may take the form of denying and rejecting, but the mushrik may also believe in Allaah. This is the difference between the mushrik and the kaafir.
Each word may also carry the meaning of the other, so the word kufr may be used in the sense of shirk, and the word shirk may be used in the sense of kufr. How about this? polite_gandalf wrote on Dec 5 th, 2013 at 10:27am: freediver wrote on Dec 5 th, 2013 at 8:26am: If you think these 800 people acted as some kind of mindless collective Thats exactly what they were. Or this? polite_gandalf wrote on Dec 5 th, 2013 at 3:11pm: As I said, there was no real concept of individuality - your personality was literally defined by which tribe you belonged to. And the decisions that govern the tribe are very much decisions that are represented by all the individuals who make up the tribe. Thus there really is no question of collective guilt - no matter how abhorrent we find the term today.
