Muslims cite Quran 5:32 in a way that purposefully deceives non-Muslims. They use it wrongly to make Islam sound peaceful and pure. For example, they say the verse says something like:
Whoever kills an innocent man, it's as if he's killed all of humanity. If you save one man, all humanity is saved.
Sometimes, instead of 'man' the word soul or human is used, but the essence is always the same: killing one person is like killing all. Saving one person is like saving all.
But in truth, the Quran says something totally different and much of the verse is purposefully left out. The verse promotes the killing of Jews.
Quran 5:32
Allah told the people of Israel if you kill one Muslim, unless for corruption of the land,
It is as if you killed the entire Muslim community.
If you save one Muslim life, the whole Muslim community is saved.
Our messengers came to the Israelites with clear messages and signs of Allah’s supremacy,
But many Israelites continued to commit mischief and corruption on the land.
The punishment for those who wage war against Allah or Mohammad,
or who strive for mischief or corruption,
is Beheading, or Crucifixion, or the cutting off the right hand and the left foot.
As we see, Jews are being warned that if they kill a Muslim, it is a crime of such magnitude that it is the same as if they killed the entire Muslim community (or a village). A Jew is not allowed to kill a Muslim -- it is a crime of great magnitude.
According to Islamic Doctrine, “mischief” or “corruption” of the land is when someone disobeys the laws of Islam.
The only time a Muslim can be "lawfully" killed is when it is according to Islamic Law, such as for apostasy, or when a Muslim kills another Muslim (an eye for an eye).
A non-Muslim is not allowed to kill a Muslim under any circumstances. But if a Muslim kills a Jew or a Christian (or any non-Muslim), it is not considered unlawful, so there is no punishment.
This verse clearly defines the punishment for when a Jew, or any non-Muslim, violates Islam. When a non-Muslim commits “corruption on the land” the punishment is crucifixion, beheading, or cutting off a hand and a foot. But "corruption" is a very broad term in Islamic Doctrine.
Corruption on the land, sometimes translated as "mischief on earth" or "mischief on the land", consists of an enormous category of offenses including: criticizing or questioning Islam; calling for a change in Islamic traditions; prejudice against Muslims; jokes about Islam or Mohammad (jokes are altogether banned in strict Muslim countries—whether about Mohammad or not); an attempt to undermine the goals of Islam; or, an attempt to undermine the interests of Muslims.
It is interesting to note here that currently in Christian villages in Africa, extremists have been using this verse to enter a Christian village and “cut off hands and feet from “opposite sides” of the men. This is the verse used to condone this atrocity.
When reading the Quran chapter by chapter, it is clear that Muslims are taught to have an extreme dislike for non-Muslims, and are even taught to not take them as friends. But this verse is telling Muslims to behead or crucify them. This is happening wherever radicals can find non-Muslims. This is happening in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan and in many other countries.
