Question

Does the Quran really promote killing of non-Muslims?

Answer

To make these type of statements is very misleading and destructive. These types of statements and questions are asked either with misinformation or unsupervised studies. It is like someone asking you whether you really encourage the killing of innocent people. What will you say?

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
