If I am not mistaken, the entire quote from the Quran (Chapter Five, Verse 32) is:

"…if any one killed a person --- UNLESS IT BE FOR MURDER OR FOR SPREADING MISCHIEF IN THE LAND --- it would be as if he killed the whole of mankind; and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole of mankind…”

It is the "UNLESS" clause that is problematic as the word "MISCHIEF" is most assuredly open to interpretation. Muslims love to quote that passage but, more often than not, they somehow forget to include the "UNLESS" clause wherein the real problem lies.
