Do Christians have a religous carte blanche to kill pagans (or anyone they feel like labeling as "witch") after reading Exodus 22:18?
BTW the Hadith is not the Quran. Different sects of Islam take different Hadiths to be official, or whatever. If I'm not mistaken, the quote you are reciting is not even from Mohammed, but from his successor Ali.
Of course, it's all rubbish in my opinion, and it really bothers me that more and more Christians and westerners are starting to talk like religious extremists themselves. The sheer number of anti-Islamic propaganda sites that came up when I googled "Hadith 9:50" was a bit disturbing.[/quote]
