| Wait a minute! Western Muslims keep telling us that Islam doesn't promote the death penalty for apostasy! What's this I'm reading? MONTREAL -- In Lamine Yansané's hometown of Boké in Guinea, his father is a revered imam who sometimes leads Friday prayers. But after Mr. Yansané married a Catholic woman and abandoned Islam for Christianity, his father disowned him, and Friday prayers have featured a call for his death, the Federal Court heard yesterday.
Mr. Yansané, who has been denied refugee status, is seeking a last-ditch reprieve on the grounds that he faces certain harm if he is deported from Canada. "If you return him to his country, he is going to die," Mr. Yansané's lawyer, Stewart Istvanffy, told the court. He called his client "a victim of radical Islam, who is threatened by the imam of his town, his own father." READ MORE.
Hmmm. This makes me want to open up my Muslim sources and see if Western Muslims are trying to deceive me.
Ackkk! Look what I've found!
Sahih al-Bukhari 6922—Muhammad said, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."
Sunan Abu Dawud 4337—The Apostle said: Kill those who change their religion.
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4025—Muhammad said: "After me there will be many calamities and much evil behavior. Whoever you see splitting away from the Jama'ah or trying to create division among the Ummah of Muhammad, then kill him, for the Hand of Allah is with the Jama'ah, and the Shaitan is with the one who splits away from the Ummah, running with him."
Sunan Ibn Majah 2535—It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever changes his religion, execute him."
Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik 36.18.15—The Messenger of Allah said, "If someone changes his religion—then strike off his head!"
But surely Islam would never command Muslims to carry out such penalties against their own relatives! Let me check the sources.
Sunan Ibn Majah 2540—It was narrated from Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah said: "Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah."
Whoa! It seems someone's been lying to us about what Islam teaches! But surely a religion would never allow its adherents to lie in order to protect themselves and their religion. Would it? Would it?
