Peace.....
I am reminded of a documentary I watched once about people who according to their faith, thought it justifiable to kill doctors who performed legal abortions. They quoted chapter and verse from the Bible to support their claims that their fight to prevent abortion included taking the life of the doctors who worked at the clinics. It struck me as odd because here they were, trying to protect life, whom they all claimed was precious, but they were willing to take life to do it. It made no sense at all to me.
It just goes to show how someone could read something, and get the wrong understanding. I know it is not found anywhere in Qur'an where it states it's acceptable to strike someone with your SUV. It makes me wonder if people like this didn't already have such murderous thoughts and just used religion as a shield to carry them out.
