Amein Islam's "declaration" as per your citation: " 1400 years ago, Islam declared that the unjustly killing of one person, is equal to killing humanity collectively..." is first, not "original" (the original I believe is the Talmudic (2000 years ago) "He who saves a single life is like he saved a whole world", but nothing is wrong with adopting the good tenets from other parts of humanity. Mind, you the qualifier "unjustly" in the Quran, leaves a lot of "wiggle room" for indiscriminate killing, including the simple fact that the target for such killing is an "infidel", even one that consider himself a Muslim, but the "opposition" considers his devoutness to be "wanting". The problem is that a single "citation" is not sufficient to describe the whole spectrum of a religion's moral backbone. I can bring you a citation from the bible that Allah, the god of Abraham and of Ishmael promoted genocide, that single citation, however, is a singular event and not the full moral fabric of monotheism.
