Killing is killing. And the ethical considerations are
largely the same.
Not so sure. There are many types of killing.
1. Human killing human for revenge.
2. Human killing animal for food.
3. Human killing human to prevent him from suffering (crushed under a bolder and will die anyway).
4. Human killing human for defend one's country.
5. Human killing human to expand one's national boarders.
6. Human killing human to defend one's religion (this is what Baha'is call Jihad).
7. Human killing human to spread one's religion (this is what Baha'is call also call Jihad (i think).
8. Human killing human for fun.
9. Human killing human in thought.
10. Human killing human for justice (murderer death penalty).
11. Human killing human to protect global welfare (war on terror, UN attacking an aggressor)
12. etc.etc.
Baha'u'llah forbid, among others, #6 and #7 above. It appears to be that #6 and #7 are allowed in Islam. Correct me if I am wrong.
