"Because of that we ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person, not in retaliation of murder or to spread mischief in the land, it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them our messengers with clear proofs, evidences and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits in the land!"
Interpretation of the Meaning of the Noble Qur’an V0.3 by Dr Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al Hilali and Dr Muhammed Muhsin Khan. You can read other versions of the Quran and they will all give the same meaning using slightly different words.
Read verse 5:32 above and then read what Barack Obama, former UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and everybody else up this day says when they quote the Quran and try to tell us that it is a religion of peace.
In 2013 after the killing of soldier Lee Rigby in London in the name of Islam, Clegg cited verse 5:32 of the Quran as saying: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22652340
"If anyone kills a human being it shall be as though he killed all mankind whereas if anyone saves a life it shall be as though he saved the whole of mankind."
In 2009 Barack Obama at the Al Azhar university in Cairo, said:
“The Holy Quran teaches that whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind; and whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind.”
Do you see the difference? In case you don’t then this is the important part omitted by both Clegg, Obama and others.
‘not in retaliation of murder or to spread mischief in the land’
Now lets look also at what the following verse 5:33 says, which none of these people ever quote:
The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and his Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
Interpretation of the Meaning of the Noble Qur’an V0.3 by Dr Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al Hilali and Dr Muhammed Muhsin Khan.
Why do they miss these crucial parts out? Because verse 5:32 and 5:33 clearly states that killing is ordained if you are killing someone who has murdered, fights against Islam or who has caused mischief in the land. Other translations use the word corruption in the land. Corruption or mischief in the land is a very loose and vague term so what was mischief in the land according to Mohammed and his messengers? The remaining part of verse 5:32 will give us an indication.
"and indeed, there came to them our messengers with clear proofs, evidences and signs, even then after that, many of them continued to exceed the limits in the land!"
This part of verse 5:32 indicates that not accepting the proofs, evidence and signs of Mohammed and his messengers and continuing to disobey and disregard the limits set by Islam is corruption or mischief in the land, of which is punishable by death or exile as stated in verse 5:33. To further cement this idea, throughout the Quran is reinforced the general idea that not following Islam is corruption.
Verse 5:33 states that waging war against Allah is punishable by death but Islam clearly had expansionist ambitions and proactively, aggressively and violently tried to and did take over other lands, which of course would often be met with violent resistance. It is a ludicrous idea that during all the wars and battles that Islam has been involved in for 1,400 years that somehow they were always just the victims and being persecuted.
So, if a Muslim follows the Quran correctly and deems that you are causing mischief or corruption in the land by not following the rules set down by Islam, have murdered, waged war against Allah (which could be resistance to Islam taking over your land) then killing you or sending you to exile is the prescribed action. Not only that but you will also have a great torment in the afterlife.
You can avoid this fate however if you repent and submit to Islam as verse 5:34 states:
"Except for those who came back with repentance before they fall into your power; in that case, know that Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful."

Clearly there is a cover up, a deception and a lie being propagated by politicians, mainstream media, academia and some Muslims themselves who don't want to face up to the reality of what Mohammed and the Quaran teaches and have a honest debate about it. And people like myself who quote what the Quran itself actually says and try to discuss it are usually shut down as hate speakers. If what I have said is hate speech then that means the Quran is also a book of hate speech.
NOTE:
The Koran is not written in chronological order and verses 5:32 and 5:33 are from the latter Medina part of Mohammed’s life which abrogate any previous Meccan verses which maybe in contradiction to this one.
2:106. "Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We {Allah} abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?"
