In the Bible But not in the Quran (7): Kill Whosoever Tries to Turn you Away From the Lord

Kill whosoever tries to turn you away from the LORD in the Bible:

In Deuteronomy 13:6-11, the LORD Commands that:

If

1) Your brother, your mother's son, or

2) Your son or

3) Your daughter, or

4) Your wife you cherish, or

5) Your friend

Secretly entices you, saying: "Let us go and worship other gods"

In this case the LORD commands:

1) Do not yield to him or

2) Do not listen to him.

3) Show him no pity. Your eye shall not pity him

4) Do not spare him or

5) Do not shield him. nor shall you spare or conceal him

6) You must certainly put him to death.

7) Your hand must be the first in putting him to death,
And then the hands of all the people

9) Stone him to death

Deuteronomy 13:6-11 in four different versions:

New International Version (NIV)

6] If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, 7] gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8] do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. 9] You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10] Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11] Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6] "If your brother, your mother's son, or your son or daughter, or the wife you cherish, or your friend who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods' (whom neither you nor your fathers have known,

7] Of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end),

8] You shall not yield to him or listen to him; and your eye shall not pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him.

9] "But you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10] "So you shall stone him to death because he has sought to seduce you from the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

11] "Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.

The Message (MSG)

[6-10] And when your brother or son or daughter, or even your dear wife or lifelong friend, comes to you in secret and whispers, "Let's go and worship some other gods" (gods that you know nothing about, neither you nor your ancestors, the gods of the peoples around you near and far, from one end of the Earth to the other), don't go along with him; shut your ears. Don't feel sorry for him and don't make excuses for him. Kill him. That's right, kill him. You throw the first stone. Take action at once and swiftly with everybody in the community getting in on it at the end. Stone him with stones so that he dies. He tried to turn you traitor against God, your God, the one who got you out of Egypt and the world of slavery. 11] Every man, woman, and child in Israel will hear what's been done and be in awe. No one will dare to do an evil thing like this again.

King James Version (KJV)

6] If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

7] Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

8] Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

9] But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10] And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

11] And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

Kill whosoever tries to turn you away from the LORD in the Quran:

Verse 33:48 says:

Do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites, in assenting to do what contravenes your Law; and disregard, leave aside, their injuriousness — do not retaliate against them for it, and do not proceed to kill them. And put your trust in Allah, for He will suffice you, and He suffices as Guardian, One to Whom matters are entrusted. He is sufficient as a Protector

The verse in four different translations:

Chapter 33: AL-AHZAB, 48

[33:48]

QARIB: do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites; pay no attention to their hurt. put your trust in Allah; Allah suffices as a guardian.

SHAKIR: and be not compliant to the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and leave unregarded their annoying talk, and rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a protector

PICKTHAL: and incline not to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Disregard their noxious talk, and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as trustee.

YUSUFALI: and obey not (the behests) of the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and heed not their annoyances, but put thy trust in Allah. For enough is Allah as a disposer of affairs.

---------------------

What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill 1) the Uncircumcised, 2) the one who curses his father or his mother, 3) the gay, 4) the Zoosexual together with the animal, 5) whosoever does work in the Sabbath! 6) Your brother, your son, your daughter, your wife and your friend if they try to turn you away from the LORD?

What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?
