All that babble and you didn't even answer the question. You seem to have trouble actually keeping with the topic of the discussion without going off on irrelivent tangents.
I am under no obligation to answer rude and foolish trolling questions, especilially where the facts are easily found, and when it becones a case of deceitful bebel-ing in order to attain "ANNUIT COEPTIS" :statisfie :muddlehea :raging:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annuit_cœptis from a false god for the sake of disobedience to God, I free myself from such arrogance towards Allah and proclaim His oneness and my servitude to Allah.
Shura in obedience and subjection to Allah (Who is most just and wise) is another question and I more acceptable.
However, I am compelled to answer due to the admonishment of Allah to not turn on the heels from kuffar (and munaafiqeen) - unless it be a valid stratagem.
Get the behind me satan, for it is written, thou shalt not tempt the Lord our God, Who is one, without equivalent, and does not give His glory to another.
And killing civilians deliberatly is not in keeping with Qisas. The Prophet SAW never did that and the Quran and hadiths prohibited it - as did the majority of Ulema.
I had a feeling that the verse touches mainly on cases of wars between groups of people as it is otherwise difficult to make sense of:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى الْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالأُنثَى بِالأُنثَى فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَاء إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ ذَلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ فَمَنِ اعْتَدَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ {178
002:178 Khan
:
O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money, to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment.
وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ يَاْ أُولِيْ الأَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ {179

:
And there is (a saving of) life for you in Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment), O men of understanding, that you may become Al- Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).

From the first day I read it, I paused and scrutinized it and eventually left it as something I didn't fully understand, since it was difficult to comprehend how, I a freeman killed a slave, a slave from the guilty party could be killed in his stead, or if a woman was killed by a man, a woman of that man could be killed in his stead.
After coming across the verse sometimes over the course of a few years, and with the dismay I felt at the millions of civilians who have been killed by pirate secularist aggressors, and the small feeling of "shifaa as suadr" (healing of the heart) I would later come to feel when I saw retaliatory actions by victim parties even though on a much smaller scale, I developed a hunch that it was emphasizing the question of groups in cases where the aggressor group or tribe shielded the aggressors - thereby becoming sharers in culpability, and direct retaliation was therefore impossible even though unjust aggression needed to be stopped.
Thanks to Allah for your contentious argumentation that I took the time to look back into it and managed to find the context of revelation. It was apparent that the verse primarily applied to aggression in a context of groups rather than individuals.
On the authority of Ibn Abi Hatim (ra), Ibn Katheer (ra) has reported that, just before the advent of Islam, war broke out between two tribes. Many men and women, free and slaves, belonging to both, were killed.
Their case was still undecided when the Islamic period set in and the two tribes entered the fold of Islam.
Now that they were Muslims, they started talking about retaliation for those killed on each side. One of the tribes which was more powerful insisted that they would not agree to anything less than that a free man for their slave and a man for their woman be killed from the other side.
Fake scholar Awlaki cannot override that. Making haraam into halal is a major sin - even if he apparently said good things sometimes.
Allah knows and i bear witness that he is a more knowledgeable and intelligent scholar than most of the certificate wielding deceivers who hate what Allah has revealed.
The wise scholars often keep silent in such times whilst safeguarding their knowledge, for the evil lurks and harms, it is usually the munaafiq ones who are a'izzatun 'ala al mumineen wa adhillatun ala al kaafireen wa yakhaafoona lauma talaa-im who are vocal against any real believers on their tv slots and high seats in the synagogues since they get their paychecks without having to worry about a knock on the door or a crusader funded raid.
Making halaal haram is also as sinful as making haraam halaal.
Maybe check the Islamic rulings on eating pig for less binary and more realistic calculation seeking the face of Allah.

Though I did note, your objection to him was based on a truthful statement of his, attempting to assassinate the messenger when faced with the inability to dent his message - thereby demonstrating the limited intellectual capacity of traitors to the deen which Allah has revealed.
