You should study Islam and not bring false suspicions to get your salary from the church

Quranic Basis

In the Quran, Diyyah is encouraged as a matter of forgiveness and to release people from the desire for vengeance. The Quran says:

"Oh you who believe! The law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder... but if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate him with handsome gratitude. This is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty. In the Law of Equality there is (saving of) life to you, oh men of understanding; that you may restrain yourselves" (2:178-179).

Amount of Payment

There is no set price in Islam for the amount of Diyyah payment. It is often left to negotiation, but in some Muslim countries, there are minimum amounts set by law. If the accused cannot afford the payment, the extended family or state will often step in to help. In some Muslim countries, there are charitable funds set aside strictly for this purpose.

There is also no dictate with regard to the amount for men vs. women, Muslim vs. non-Muslim, and so on. The minimum amounts set by law in some countries do distinguish based on gender, allowing double the amount for a male victim over a female victim. This is generally understood to be related to the amount of potential future earnings lost from that family member. In some Bedouin cultures, however, the amount for a female victim could be up to six times greater than that of a male victim.

I have studied Islam. I refer to the real history and development of the faith, not your whitewashed version that ignores inconvenient truths about Mohammad the man and what is written in the Qur'an.
