'Perverting' Islam, Obama Misquotes Scripture
Investor's Business Daily ^ | February 26, 2015 | PAUL SPERRY

Posted on 03/06/2015 1:42:33 AM PST by grundle

... while hosting last week's "Summit on Countering Violent Extremism," Obama recited a verse from the Muslim holy book like so: "The Quran says whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind."

A beautiful passage — if only it were as he states it.

The Quranic verse the president quotes — 5:32 — actually condones killing those who "murder" Muslims, "wage war against Allah" or spread "mischief in the land."

Mischief is defined as "treason against Allah," and the very next verse — 5:33 — calls for guilty infidels to be beheaded. Obama glosses over all of this in his version.

Here's the full text of the relevant verse (5:32), according to even the watered-down translation of the Quran approved and distributed by American Muslim groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Note the key section that Obama omits from his speeches:

"(I)f anyone slew a person — unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land — it would be as if he slew the whole people. And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them our Messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land."

The hammer comes down in the next verse, 5:33: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: That is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the hereafter."

Its actually an Islamic ripoff of the famous Talmudic aphorism: “He who saves one life is as though he saved the entire world.”

The difference is Muslims consider it to mean only Jews are forbidden to commit murder. That does not apply to Muslims - as subsequent verses and Islamic history makes quite clear.

In quoting the verse out of context, Obama falsely attributed a quality to Islam that it does not possess: respect for human life.

There is no such respect for human life in the Muslim World today.

Obama is NOT Christian. He's MUSLIM.

Didn't our Heavenly Father, through our Savior tell us...

How well we deserve this curse (~so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things~) God has given us,
through the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, the FASCIST Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama II IS a Muslim.
His actions prove it.
To believe Barack Hussein Obama II, when he claims to be a Christian, is to trust Satan.
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith.

For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

I’m convinced obama knows islam at its core is very violent but is purposely lying to the Americans he thinks are too stupid to study mohammed’s violent history.

Islam is a war plan.

The Imam in the White House knows all about deceiving the infidels.

He didn’t “misquote”. He lied to the infidels as muzzies are ordered to do.

There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
