Quran does not instruct Muslims to murder Jews or non‑Muslims
Question asked:
“The Quran instructs Muslims to murder Jews and all non‑Muslims who do not convert to Islam.”
Summary
The Quran does not command Muslims to murder Jews or all non‑Muslims who do not convert; verses that are sometimes cited (e.g., 9:5) are contextualized as relating to specific historical conflicts and are accompanied by broader teachings that prohibit aggression toward people of the Book. Islamic scholarship and mainstream interpretations affirm that the Quran promotes justice and peaceful coexistence rather than a blanket command to kill non‑believers.
