i'm not surprized that there are some stupid terrorists that interpret the verses the same way as you did.
Now to our main topic.
What did the innocent people at the marathon commit to legalize the retaliation against them and how is that related to your understanding of the quranic verses.
Waitasec, how in the hell did my post become about terrorism?
I make no mention of terrorists, especially the recent Boston marathon bombing.
You're either putting words in my mouth or over-thinking what I'm saying.
My 2 recent posts only ask for clarification to verse 5:32, and wanted more specifics of what type of death warranted revenge-retaliation?
My last post have only a generic example, which I don't understand become that of terrorism. How do you mix my example with terrorism?
I just think that some people confuse justice with vengeance. They tried to justify their action through something as vague as 5:32 verse, to get back what they have lost.
How far can one take retaliation or retribution?
I understand if someone steal from you (not "you" personally, "you" as in general) - there are several alternatives: a) you get your stolen goods back, b) you get monetary compensation that equal (or possibly more than) the value(s) of the stolen goods (like from fines or sue for the loss), c) the thief or robber receive jail time (or do community works as an alternative), d) severe his or her hand.
With a life (could be that of parent, spouse or child) taken away from you (again, "you" as in general, not "you" personally), there are likewise a number of actions be taken, like prison time, money compensation, or life for life, etc. The other thing is that not all killings are murders.
The probably with life-for-a-life are - whose life are we talking about?
The person who cause the death? The person's parent, spouse or child? What would satisfy you? (Again, I'm speaking of the generic "you"; do not take it so literally.)
My above example is again, generic, so I am not necessarily speaking of terrorism. Personally, I'd prefer that you leave out terrorism altogether, should you reply to this post. Can you do that?
