Jihad In The Quran Nowadays Term Paper

Who would say that "drinking the blood of the slain" is what God's people do. The people of Midian together with Moab began to interact with the people of Israel.

Sura 5 Verse 32 shows this as it says "That was why We laid it down for the Israelites that whoever killed a human being, except as a punishment for murder or other villainy in the land, shall be looked upon as though he had killed all mankind; and that whoever saved a human life shall be regarded as though he had saved all man kind."
