    Just thought I should throw in the following quote from the OP to show the importance of interpretation:

    So, does this mean that if God says in the Qur'an for you to kill someone, It's okay? For Example, in Contrast, Christians have a doctrine called Logos, which, from what i can remember, basically means that if something is contrary to human moral behavior, like killing someone, it is contrary to the nature of god. Does this also apply to Islam?
    Yet this does not prevent Christians from being for death penalty. Let's also take the following passage from the New Testament:

    But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

    —Luke 6:27-31. NIV



    which apparently can just be interpreted into non-existence.
