Asker's Comment:
Islam like the other religions has some who chose to use it for justication of violence
Boo! My explanation is closer to the truth than Bearfan's is! Boo!

My explanation goes to explain the absurdity of these "beliefs." With Islam, you REALLY can kill your neighbor if YOU think he has become an infidel! He can kill you too! Bearfan doesn't explain ANY of this.

The answer you picked as "best" provided no insight nor any repurcussions to this type of thought. In Islam, there are no social repurcussions to killing an alleged infidel!

    Bearfan has it right, but let me dig a little deeper for you and everyone else who stumbles upon this question in YA!

    Islam condones violence against non-believers and fellow "believers" alike. Let me explain. In Islam, you are FREE to determine on YOUR own that your neighbor has become a non-believer and to kill him should he not meet YOUR standard of devotion! It is on THIS belief system that the muslims want to build their societies! Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me! Here's why!

    So, your neighbor comes home from work one day and determines that YOU are a non-believer, you two kill each other, and the mosque gets all the property that you two goons have left behind on your way to the 144 virgins whom you and he may split, depending on how Allah sees the situation. What's one man's Jihad may be another man's oversight.

    Ha! It just dawned on my tiny, little brain WHY the mosques WANT you muslims to kill each other! They want this so that the mullahs can keep all the worldly goods (moolah) owned by the two muslims who have killed each other in pursuit of their perspective virgins. THIS is why Islam is so violent! The mullahs want you muslims to kill yourselves so that they can KEEP all your crap! *laughter* So the mullahs can keep the moolah! THIS is why the mullahs motivate you muslims to kill one another!

    While you're at the task of killing people, the mullahs WANT their people to kill the non-believers too, on principle, because if the muslim kills the non-believer, that's just one less non-believer consuming O2 and producing CO2! Everyone wins!

    On the other hand, if trying to KILL the non-believer gets the muslim killed, then the mosque gets the muslim's worldly goods, and everyone who's alive still wins! The muslim who owned the stuff is dead! Screw his family! It's a win/win situation for the mullahs in the mosques! *laughter* It's a bucking frilliant plan, and you muslims have been buying this crap hook, line, and sinker for more than a THOUSAND years!

    Does this bucking frilliant answer earn me 20 points?

    The Taliban are a subset of muslims, Asker, like the Shiites, Sunnis, or Kurds. In most cases, like this discussion for example, they are to be considered as one in-the-same.

    Concerning the posting of that link where you will see six muslims hanging, my suspicion is that this video is a hoax. Hanging from a rope won't kill you. It's the snap of the rope as you FALL from a HIGHER platform that snaps your neck and kills you. Nonetheless, were this a valid execution, the mullahs wouldn't have cared a wit. You can still see all of them wiggling after the truck has driven off and left them there to hang.
