Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
and before anyone draws a comparison to the bible, afaik, all of it's violent stuff is in the old testament but Jesus taught peace. Muhammad wasn't quite as peaceful in his teachings. Therein lies the problem....

Totally agree with this .. Islam never had a "correction" or reformation since the Koran and Hadiths were written. Plus, a lot of emphasis is made on the Koran being the word of Allah and so not able to be questioned or contradicted. Makes things difficult for more enlightened Muslims to say "No, ignore that verse and this verse as they were only parables or were historically contextual"
