One of the biggest sins in Islam after idolatry is killing another human, whether they be Muslim/non-Muslim, whether black or white, whether male or female. Thus the verse in Qur'aan: "if you kill one person, (in the eyes of God) it's as though you've killed all of mankind".

If you look up that verse in Quran 5:32 it look to me like it's saying if a Jew kills or saves a Muslim, the premise being that a Muslim life is supposedly of much greater value than a Jewish life. http://corpus.quran.com/transl... As for peaceful, have a look at 5:33, the very next verse.

Comment More data centre energy vs less car energy. (Score 1) 121

Not spending the day driving around for an unnecessary purpose must offset some of that data centre power, especially when all cars are finally electric.
