"Ye (Muslims) are the best of peoples evolved for mankind . . ." Surah 3:110.

Yeah, this is something I don't like about religions. It reminds me of the "Chosen People" in Judaism. Too Master-Race-ish for my taste.

A Muslim may not be punished for killing a non-Muslim:

"No Muslim should be killed for killing a kafir (infidel)." Vol 9:50


Those two statements don't agree with each other.

For those who resist Islam – execution or mutilation is decreed:

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution or crucifixion, or the cutting off of the hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land . . ." Surah 5:36


Again, these two statements don't agree with each other. Waging war on Muslims and "resisting Islam" are two entirely different concepts.

" The Hadith teaches that apostasy is punishable by death: "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Vol. 9:57

I don't like this at all, but I also don't necessarily believe it is true.
