For instance, in Numbers 31/17-18, we read "And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 'Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every
woman who has known a man intimately. But keep alive for yourselves all the
young girls who have not known a man intimately.'" The Lord said, "Go after
him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.
Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and
women." (Ezekiel 9/5-6)
Joshua said to the people of Israel, "'Shout, for the Lord has given you the city [of
the Canaanites]!… But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron,
are consecrated to the Lord; they shall come into the treasury of the Lord…'
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman,
young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the
sword."[2] (Joshua 6/16-21)
The Lord also allegedly said, "Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all
that they have, and do not spare them.But kill both man and woman, infant
and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." (1 Samuel 15/3) We also
read in Hosea 13/16, "Their children also will be dashed to pieces before their
eyes; their houses will be plundered and their wives ravished." (Isaiah
13/16) "Samaria will be held guilty, for she has rebelled against her God. They
shall fall by the sword, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women
with child ripped open."[3]
It appears that the Bible is the only religious book in the world that sanctions the killing
of children, the smashing of infants to death, and the ripping open of pregnant women's
bellies. The presence of such verses in the Bible which are outrageously attributed to God
is clearly testifies to its corruption.[4] Allah Almighty vehemently warns against telling lies
in His name. As the Qur'an (2/79), states, "Woe to those who write the scripture
with their own hands, and then declare, 'This is from God,' that they may sell
it for a paltry price. Woe to them because of what their own hands have
written, and woe to them for what they have earned."
Compulsion is incompatible with religion because religion depends upon faith, will and
total satisfaction, and these will undoubtedly be meaningless if religion is imposed on
people. Men and women must be given the opportunity to choose whatever religion to
follow, but the alternatives must be presented to them without any bias whatsoever and
without compulsion. Guillotines, saws, axes and fire should not have been the
