KILL</A> merely states the fact of death caused by an agency in any manner
<killed in an accident> <frost killed the plants>. <A

MURDER</A> specifically implies stealth and motive
and premeditation and therefore full moral responsibility <convicted of murdering
a rival>.

A soldier does not murder, he might have to kill.

Why couldn't soldiers be commanded to sneak to some location where the enemy is hiding, and kill them on arrival? That would be murder. Are you saying a Baha'i should refuse to cooperate then, but could otherwise kill? I don't think such a scenario is all that rare, and not enough to say that a soldier doesn't murder, using the definition you cite.


Regards,

David
