[In response to
http://thedailystar.net/2004/08/30/d40830020634.htm about
apostasy in Islam]
I have read what Sister Syeda wrote to
The Daily Star (a
leading English newspaper in Bangladesh) about apostasy in Islam.
She is no different than other modern Islam apologists. She comes
with many points to name Islam is a peaceful religion. She tries to
say that Islam has more tolerance than other religions about Murtads
(apostates). She has seen just one side. I would like to discuss
with her. But I wonder if she is willing to have a debate with me.
She is certainly a good human being and good at her engineering
profession. However she is not a good Muslim. Good Muslims are those
who fully go by Al-Koran and Ahadhiths.
Sister Syeda obviously thinks that people in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(KSA) hide the beauty of Islam for their practice! She has mentioned
some verses that support the liberality in Islam and apostasy can
not punishable by death. But Surahs from Al-Koran need to be studied
with their backgrounds (Shane Nujols). Every Surah has a history
behind it. She has actually missed to read the Shane Nujols before
writing the statement.
In the early revelation, Mohamed was weak and his power was limited.
He did not have his many followers with him. When Mohamed faced his
opponents (of a large number), he told “there is no compulsion in
religion” (2:256). But his honest quality had been changed when he
was able to grab many people into the fold of Islam. He then asked
pagans, Jews, tribes etc to convert to his brand religion Islam.
Those who did not go with Mohamed, he raided and killed them, and
asked his followers to kill “wherever” they find Kaffirs. We need to
read Al-Koran with Shane Nujuls and Ahadiths in order to know what
exactly happened. We find lots of killing commands in later verses.
I am here producing some verses that encourage Islam practitioners
to kill Murtads, and were revealed when Mohamed had power.

that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you
might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends
until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn
back, then seize them and kill
them wherever you find them, and take not from among them
a friend or a helper. |

excuse. Ye have disbelieved after your (confession of) belief.
If We forgive a party of you, a party of you We shall
punish because they have
been guilty. |

009.074: They swear by
Allah that they did not speak, and certainly they did speak, the
word of unbelief, and disbelieved after their Islam, and they
had determined upon what they have not been able to effect, and
they did not find fault except because Allah and His Messenger
enriched them out of His grace; therefore if they repent, it
will be good for them; and if they turn back, Allah will
chastise them with a painful
chastisement in this world and the hereafter, and they
shall not have in the land any guardian or a helper. |

Allah has ordered to be joined, and make
mischief in the land;
these it is that are the losers. |

the Shaitan has made it a light matter to them; and He gives
them respite. |

047.026: That is

will obey you in some of the affairs; and
Allah knows their secrets. |

003.090: Surely, those
who disbelieve and die while they are unbelievers, the earth
full of gold shall not be accepted from one of them, though he
should offer to ransom himself with it, these it is who shall
have a painful chastisement,
and they shall have no helpers. |

Volume 9, Book 84,
Number 53: Narrated 'Abdullah: When the Verse: 'It is those who
believe and confuse not their belief with wrong (i.e.,
worshipping others besides Allah): (6.82) was revealed, it
became very hard on the companions of the Prophet and they said,
"Who among us has not confused his belief with wrong
(oppression)?" On that, Allah's Apostle said, "This is not meant
(by the Verse). Don't you listen to Luqman's statement: 'Verily!
Joining others in worship with
Allah is a great wrong indeed.' (31.13) |

Volume 9, Book 84,
Number 58: Narrated Abu Burda: .... Behold: There was a fettered
man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu
Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted
back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down
but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed.
This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases)
and repeated it thrice. Then Abu
Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed.
Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers and one of
us said, 'I pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah will reward me
for my sleep as well as for my prayers.'" |

Volume 9, Book 83,
Number 17: Narrated 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "The blood
of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed
except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who
commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who
reverts from Islam
(apostate) and leaves the
Muslims." |

Volume 9, Book 89,
Number 271: Narrated Abu Musa: A man embraced Islam and then
reverted back to Judaism. Mu'adh bin Jabal came and saw the man
with Abu Musa. Mu'adh asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?"
Abu Musa replied, "He embraced Islam and then reverted back to
Judaism." Mu'adh said, "I will
not sit down unless you kill him (as it is) the verdict of Allah
and His Apostle. |

Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 260: Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news
reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would
not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish
(anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have
killed them, for the Prophet said,
'If somebody (a Muslim) discards
his religion, kill him.' " |
Muratds do not love (or they hate) Allah and Mohamed, so they do not
want to remain in Islam. They criticise and they leave Islam. That
is because Muratds are considered as enemy of Allah. Suppose that I
do not wish to remain in
Islam because I do not like its system. So I am considered to
wage war against Islam. I
become enemy of Islam. In addition, in the pure Islamic countries,
if any ex-Muslim prefers other religions to go with to Islam, it is
considered to be fighting against Islam. Therefore, apostasy is
prohibited in the pure Islamic countries, and is punishable by
mutilating (till death). Here is the punishment of those who speak
against Islam.

005.033: The punishment
of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and
strive with might and main for mischief through the land is:
execution, or crucifixion, or
the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or
exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a
heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; |
Arabic people hopefully understand Islam much better than Syeda or
other non-Arabic Muslims. Pure Islamic countries like KSA, Iran, and
former Afghanistan (Talibani) legislate (d) the death penalty for
Murtads if they continue to deny Islam. In some cases, they are
given a chance to come back to Islam for real. If they decline to
accept Islam, they are killed (beheaded). Why don’t people like
Syeda go to one of those countries and simply declare them Murtads,
just for a test. They will get a due punishment by listening
Allah-u-Akbar!
Common Muslims should not be guided by the modern (ignorant) Islam
apologists. The defenders feel now embarrassed what Islam says about
apostasy! They try to soften the Islamic punishments. They will be
stoned to death in the pure Islamic soils with respect to Sharia
Law. I have sent them a lot of e-mails to have a debate with me.
None of them have responded yet. The puzzling thing is these
apologists live outside KSA,
Iran, or former Afghanistan (Talibani). And they all
write their books and
design their websites
residing in the Kaffir West or in other liberal countries with much
of western comfort. They do not
dare to brag out, and write books and design modern Islamic
websites residing under the Islamic law. Here is the difference.
There are hundreds of thousands of Murtads among Muslims. Most of
them are silent. They are insulted, exhaled, or killed for leaving
Islam. That is why they are silent. Their books are burnt. Their
freedom of speech is revoked. Shouldn’t Syeda agree with me? Islam
apologists like her do not want to agree, but this is their own wish
that does not match with Islam.
Bangladesh, Malaysia, or Indonesia is not a true Islamic country.
These countries do not have Sharia Law. These countries have their
own legislations and Common Law (English Law). But the countries
like KSA, Iran, or Afghanistan (Talibani) has (d) Sharia Law. From
time to time verses were revealed. And Mohamed spoke and ordered his
rules to his followers. Sharia Law has been adopted from Al-Koran
and Ahadiths. According to what Mohamed did and Islam says
Murtads deserve death.
Praying (salat), Fasiting, Jakah, Iman (belief), and Hajj do not
make a Muslim a good Islam follower. If he wants to go with Islam,
he must follow its all teaching methods and what its founder did.
People in Arab typically go with “the teaching methods” that is why
apostasy is punishable by death in there. Mullahs, Imam, or pure
Muslims who live outside the
West or any Kaffir land say the same that I wrote today.
