The story says he quoted Qur’an 5:32-33.
5:32 says: “For that reason, we decreed for the children of Israel that whoever kills a human being for anything other than manslaughter or corruption on the earth, it will be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves the life of one person, it will be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came to them of old with clear proofs, but afterwards, indeed, many of them committed excesses on earth.”
That’s often represented as a blanket condemnation of violence, as Khan claims here, but actually it is nothing of the kind. It’s not even addressed to Muslims, much less to all mankind; instead, it is addressed only to the Children of Israel. What it is saying is that Allah gave them this command and they disobeyed it. It’s not a rejection of violence, it’s a condemnation of the Jews.
5:33 makes this abundantly clear: “The only reward for those who make war upon Allah and his messenger and struggle to sow corruption on earth will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, or be expelled from the land. Such will be their degradation in this world, and in the hereafter, theirs will be an awful doom.”
So the passage Shah Rukh Khan adduces to claim that Islam rejects terrorism ends up with crucifixion and amputation for foes of Allah and his messenger. That’s a clear rejection of terrorism, all right.
“Quoting Quran, SRK says there is no place for terrorism in Islam [Video],” by Mumtaz Hussain Bhat, Siasat Daily, May 18, 2023:
Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan is inspiration for scores of people and is known as one of the intelligent persons of India. The actor handles controversial questions in a unique manner and that this what makes him among top successful persons of Bollywood. As SRK’s fans follow him religiously, here we have a story to tell them what are their superstar’s views regarding terrorism in Islam.
Shah Rukh Khan is the most secular person as his family is proof of it. He respects every religion. In a throwback interview, King Khan while defining the concept of Islam once told Rajdeep Sardesai that there is no place for terrorism in Islam….
SRK is seen further quoting verses of Surah Al-Ma’idah’s verse 32 and 33 to make interviewer understand that Islam teaches kindness. He said “Allah says in Holy Quran that if one heals any human being, he/she heals whole mankind and he/she hurts any one human , he/she hurts whole mankind.” He further said that Allah has directed Muslims to not harm women, children, animals and crops of enemies even in a war which is fought for the sake of Islam….
He is seen urging preachers of religions to teach kindness and said that no religion teaches us to harm others….

In Mumbai…. where one of the great modern massacres of all others took place back in 08? By guess who? And of course it didn’t stop there. And it didn’t stop in terms of the slaughtering, or the lying about it by… guess who? And the slaughter back in 08? there, when a rabbi, in his home, and his eight month pregnant wive were not merely slaughterd but her fetus cut out of her, his testicles cut off him to make there deaths more horrific- yes, too was the definiition of ‘peace’ by …. guess who?
Keys says
Intentionally telling “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” is a huge problem for Muslims.
That’s one of the reasons they should never be trusted. This applies to Leftists, including the media, and today’s Democrat Party. To these, lying for the Cause is expected, moral, and “virtuous”.
Deceit! Allah is the greatest of deceivers.
commonsense says
The directive from Allah to spare crops and the women and children of the infidel (a directive presumably dating from the Meccan period) was egregiously violated by Muhammed and his murderous hordes when they attacked the hapless and pastoral Jews of the Khaybar oasis without provocation, torching their prized date palms and enslaving their women and children. This atrocity, since it was planned and directed by Muhammed, is deemed a praiseworthy act by Muslims – an act, where feasible, to be emulated, thereby becoming Sunna, or part of Muslim tradition.

Wah, Mr. Sanitory Khan! Therefore 90% of terrorists in the world follow Islam. Bravo.
Jayell1 says
History clearly shows us that Islam was deliberately concocted to validate its founder’s criminal and terrorist behaviour, yet this joker tries to kid us that terrorism is not part of Islam – and we even still see that demonstrated worldwide on a daily basis. It’s one thing being a liar, but trying it on with the truth staring everyone in the face makes one wonder about this ‘star’s’ IQ status.
Michael Copeland says
The same trick successfully duped Nick Clegg when Deputy Prime Minister of the UK.
The tainted and dishonest BBC triumphantly announced that Clegg had quoted the Koran to condemn terrorism, presenting this propaganda as a news item. Their senior editors were presumably relying on one of their many muslims to write the article (thoughtfully anonymous).

It seems that here is no place for PEACE or ‘Love thy neighbor’ in islam:but then allah missed something very important didn’t he?
“Do for others what you want them to do for you”,a thing called the Golden Rule.
Apparently “This is the MEANING of the Law of Moses and of the teachings of the prophets” {Matthew7 v12}according to that expert on the Torah{no,not Moses Maimonides}..Jesus Christ.
The fact that allah MISSED the Golden Rule’s importance is quite funny when allah claims to be the author of the Torah.If allah was actually omniscient he would know that- instead of impersonating the Biblical God.
Jesus Christ knows the meaning of the Law behind the Torah:allah doesn’t.
Jesus Christ knows more than allah.
John Smith says
By perpetrating the lie that islam is a peaceful religion that has no place for terrorism, such people as Shah Rukh Khan are just as dangerous as the jihadi’s who carry out these murderous attacks. By lulling us all into a false sense of security, people will drop their guard against a jihadi attack leaving themselves and others vulnerable
To truth has to get out there if islam is going to be defeated.
PRCS says
‘but then allah missed something very important”
” when allah claims to be the author of the Torah”
“The fact that allah MISSED the Golden Rule’s importance”
“If allah was actually omniscient”
Aren’t you assuming Allah actually did/does exist?
With that, you are assuming Allah exists.
FYI says
I am saying ‘allah’ is merely an impersonation of the Biblical God.
For allah perhaps i should say ‘the author of the koran ‘allah’ who is claiming to be the Biblical God”
They cannot be the same.It is OBVIOUS the author of the koran is trying to impersonate the author of the Bible.
It is no mystery to me.
Miri says
He quoted the same incomplete verse in his movie „My name is Khan.“
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He actually cited 5:33 in his proof? When that’s the verse that decrees cutting off hands & feet from opposite sides! Did he define or describe what “mischief in the land” means in that verse, which sanctions such a barbaric punishment?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
On a different note, more & more Indians are turning away from Bollywood as they find out more about how that industry perverts public opinion towards traditional Hindu culture & promotes all types of cultural degradation. The most successful movies in the last year or so have been movies that either celebrate Hindu culture, or those that expose muslims, like “The Kashmir Files” and “The Kerala Story”
James Lincoln says
Just wondering if Shah Rukh Khan would change his position after reading this feature article.
I think not…

42 violent verses in the Quran. Strict Muslims take this seriously too.

Quran (5:33)
“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,”
Mark Spahn says
Quran 5:32 says, “… whoever saves the life of one person, it will be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.”
First responders should take this principle to heart. When you come upon a scene of carnage, save one life, then stop. This verse assures you that you do not have to save anyone else, because saving that one life is equivalent to saving all 8 billion people on earth.
Aum says
Taqiyya.

5:32 comes, word for word, of a comment made in the margin of the Tanak (Jewish Old Testament) about Cain killing Able which was way before the 7th century. At that time, the Quran was a smorgasbord of writings from various places. The copies still exist. The Quran and most of Islam came from the Nabateans. In the 10 century (I’m guessing), 5:33 was added to give 5:32 some context. I’m guessing the 10 century, because at that time an effort was made to round up all the existing Qurans which were destroyed. Then new Qurans were issued. It’s all recorded in history.
