You are allowed to apply capital punishment according to your
religion. You are allowed to engage in "collective security" in your
religion. You are allowed to engage in "righteous warfare" in your
religion.
Islam speaks of war in defense of Islam as "Holy War."
 
Baha`u'llah expressly forbids such a holy war.
 
Collective security is about world peace, not the defense of the faith.
 
We leave that to God.
