Of course there are. Wars happen, you know. And remember that everything in the Qur'an presupposes the existence of God, as an ultimate source of morality.
Excellent, I'm glad that we both agree that there is such a thing as a good kill, even if we disagree over the contents of that set. I don't personally care what magic book presupposes, or what a god's wishes and attitudes might be.
I'm willing to state with confidence that killing bacteria in the shower is a good kill. Your objection is incoherent not just with respect to my objective moral system, but also incoherent with respect to your own subjective moral system.
