Apostacy is another very complicated issue for non-muslims, like so many others they found in islam.

If an apostate does not voice their choices openly, the sharia has nothing to do with them and it is not the business of common people to punish them under any circumstances.
If they really want to make public of their choice, then they better go out of darul-haram, ie out of a land which is ruled by islamic sharia.

...And, there are very many details to how and when the sharia deals with an apostate.

Punishment of apostacy is indeed a death sentence.

As for those who enter islam in western countries, if realize later that they have made a mistake, there is no problem ... they can do whatever they like.

Abu Loren... seriously? Resorting to calling another poster a "demon"? Telling her to go to hell?

Stooping down to name calling and insults shows not only a lack of courtesy but also calls to question whether you have any apologetics or rebuttals to offer. It is also against the rules of this forum.


15. We will not tolerate personal attacks on participants from ANY Community (personal attacks are defined as comments that reflect upon the person instead of their opinion). Furthermore, any insults intended to ANY religion, ANY prophet of God, or ANY holy scripture shall be removed.


16. Slanderous, defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening, or harassing comments are not tolerated. ALL comments by the person who adopts such a manner may be removed and the person will lose the privilege of participating in the forums in future. We will try to block attempts from the same person to sign up with a different User name as well.

This kind of trashtalk and insults is something I saw used on CARM by some Islamophobic evangelicals. I am an evangelical Christian myself, and always called these jerks on it when they insulted Muslims. I really didn't think you would be behaving like them.

I feel sorry for you, bro. Praying for you that God frees you of your hatred and draws you to Him.



Caringheart, it is to my understanding that Islam does not teach that people who leave the faith are to be killed, but this was only for those who fought the Muslims after leaving Islam.

As'alaamu Alaikkum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
(Peace, Mercy and Blessings of Allah be upon you)
So your curiosity is aroused about Islam. You've heard this and that but mostly bad things from your parents and friends. Then you decide to check it out for yourself. You read the Holy Qur'an and the Hadiths, you check out the life of Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and to your amazement you realis that you have been sold a big lie.
You want to believe that there is only One God, that all the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them all) of God were sent to warn people who were astray. Jesus (Alayhi Salaam) is the Messiah and a mighty Prophet of God. He is fully human like you and me, therefore worshipping him like a god is wrong. God has always been outside of his creation.
You find out the truth for yourself, yet there still remains a nagging doubt. You are sure but at the same time you want to deny that truth. What would family and friends say? Am I a traitor to my religion and to my people? The agony of doubt remains for a while but each day your reslove is getting stronger. I know the truth and I don't care what people say. I want my soul to be saved. I want to spend eternity with God my Maker rather than spending eternity burning in hell.
So the final hurdle is yourself. You must overcome yourself and decide what is more important. Looking from the outside, overcoming this hurdle is really simple. You just find two witnesses and declare the Shahada "Ashadu anla Ilaha Illallah wa ashadu anna Muhammadan abduhu rasooluhu". I declare that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
If you take the Shahada and submit yourself wholly to God and become a Muslim, then the trials and tribulations will begin. Satan will work overtime to put doubts in your mind, your family and friends may disown you, you may feel all alone and helpless and without hope. Just remember at this time that people who really love you will never leave you at a time like this and you only need God to be at your side. The closer you are to God, the more fulfilling your life is. Family and friends may abandon you but only God will be with you always and forever.
