The fact that religious texts deemed these actions acceptable at any point in time should cast a dark cloud over all religion. You're claiming that these were war time rules but how often throughout history is religion the cause of war.


Moving on from this particular scripture after this.

So you acknowledge that muslims endorsed the beheading and disfigurement of enemy combatants at some point in history and that in modern day time some portion of muslims still practice this belief of beheading and disfiguring enemies? Consider that a rhetorical question, because there's no way to deny it. What i'm looking for is justification for this belief.
Here's the problem, you speak as though Islam ad a whole really does still behead people. Show me where daily this is still the norm. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying you're still putting radicals at the head of the show.

Should we follow any religious book written in original form word for word? No, even the Bible has violence. People that do are called extremists.
