The Hand Must Rot Off
Most of Japanese have never read the Bible.
But those who have never read the Koran are more than those who have never read the Bible.
In the Japanese version of the Koran, Allah is often angry and scolds people with sever words. It is not the image most of Japanese have of God. Allah also accuses the ungodly and unbelievers in a manner that looks simply horrible to Japanese. Allah in the Koran is too rough for Japanese to accept Him.
But the English translation of the Koran might sound a little more moderate than the Japanese version.
111 Surat Al-Masad (The Palm Fiber, Flame)
111:1
May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.
111:2
His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.
111:3
He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame
111:4
And his wife [as well] - the carrier of firewood.
111:5
Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber.

I am truly afraid that the hand of any terrorist who kills a Japanese might get ruined.
(Of course, if a Japanese kills a pious Muslim, his hand might rot off.)
