If belief is freely chosen, why does walking away still provoke punishment and panic?
Yes, I finally found “somebody” I agree with… somewhat… traditionally… in Islamic law leaving Islam (apostasy or irtidad) is considered a grave offense, with classical interpretations often labeling the person a kafir (unbeliever) and prescribing the death penalty, but there’s significant modern debate, with many scholars arguing the Quran emphasizes freedom of belief and the death penalty applies only to political treason, not just changing faiths, and many Muslim-majority nations don’t enforce capital punishment for it. (But… they continue to behead Kafirs!)
Classical Islamic Law:
• Apostasy (Irtidad): Leaving Islam is seen as rejecting God and His Prophet.
• Kafir: An apostate is generally considered a kafir, someone who disbelieves.
• Death Penalty: Many historical jurists mandated death for apostasy, citing specific hadith (sayings of the Prophet).
Modern Interpretations & Debates:
• Quranic Emphasis: Many contemporary scholars highlight Quranic verses that stress no compulsion in religion (e.g., “Let there be no compulsion in religion” – Quran 2:256).
• Context of Hadith: They argue the hadith about the death penalty applied to acts of treason, rebellion, or public disorder (fitna), not simple private changes of faith.
• Abolitionist Views: Scholars advocate for discarding the death penalty, seeing it as contrary to the Quran’s spirit and inconsistent with religious freedom.
Legal Realities:
• Varying Enforcement: While some countries (like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen) have laws making apostasy punishable by death, enforcement varies widely, with
some nations having no such law or applying lesser penalties.
• Public Opinion: Support for capital punishment for apostasy differs greatly across the Muslim world.
In summary, the traditional view holds that leaving Islam is punishable by death, but a significant and growing body of modern scholarship argues against this, emphasizing freedom of belief and distinguishing between personal conversion and political betrayal. (“But… they continue to behead Kafirs!”)
It’s a little difficult trying to change a person’s mind who has dedicated their life, all their life… brain washed life even… to believe that it’s okay… to lie, cheat, steal, mislead, commit honor murder, regular murder and the most heinous crimes you can think of… if it’s to better Islam! Then say it’s OKAY because Mohamed did it. Which he did! Even if the “IT” is sitting in an arena with his 12-year-old wife while Mohamed watched as his followers removed 800 Jewish heads because they were Kafirs and would not pay the Giza money (that’s their Religion). THAT FOLKS IS ISLAM! There will never be peace on the planet Earth as long as a Muslim believes in the Surahs!!!!!
Mr. President, congratulations on being the most UNBELIEVABLE, MOST SUCCESSFUL, MOST DARING PRESIDENT this country has ever seen! The “bravest” isn’t saying enough! You are too brave and MUST stay off the street and avoid the live stuff! Get “behind” the camera… so to speak… stop talking outside… don’t stop and talk to anybody outside… we need you for Christ Sake! At least wait until the heat dies down. Bullets burn… I know that too well… stop doing it. Get closer to your cover; don’t be too careful… talk behind the Secret Service and appearances for a while. I wish you would stop… at least until this is over! NO public appearances… none … do it by camera… but you must stop taking chances until things settle down. I am certain Secret Service agrees… nobody will blame you for your extra caution… if they do… call me!
Take advantage of the illegal’s situation by Proclamation. STOP ANY Muslims from entering the US, the same as you did previously and Carter did in 1979.
Take down the +/- 50 encampments Muslims have. Direct the FBI, with help from DELTA and/or SEAL TEAM. The FBI should not try to take down what I saw,
alone. (We cannot do that against an RPG.) What I saw would not be something the current FBI, SWAT or HRT… would/should try to take down alone! I taught SWAT, sniping, DTs, tactics (call it a training exercise and not military), conduct raids on all the Muslim “military encampments”. I haven’ t been there in many years, but Hannity knows much more than I about the sites. There were 50, like Binghamton, New York. I was there once! They were heavily armed then…so…be careful!
