Jazakum Allah khairan Haji for your kind words, hope brother Ahmed ponders upon them. Although I m supposed to observe being on topic, however, for necessity, this Ayah Sobhan Allah is being strictly applied by non muslims. Recently I had several interpretation assignments (i work as a translator/interpreter) with media professionals who are holding training here in Egypt. Certainly, participants of those workshops are of various media outlest and different categories, but mostly of senior level, either editors, documentary film directors, managers of radio stations or TV. Well, how did the trainer approach them? did he, behaved from an upper tone of voice telling them he is there to train them and teach them. Not in one single workshop I saw this attitude from the trainer, although they are all prominent figures who are award winners in their respective fields.
Brother Ahmed, did u ever attend a raising of awareness seminar?? did you even take part in articulating a missin or a vision of an entity? Did u see how people address one another.. It is not that any of us is reluctant to talk to u, but none of us is wishing to fight. Big difference.
BTW, if u just took time to really read the whole thread, u will find that what u said of not applying the punishment on one who leaves Islam but does not work against it because apostacy punishment is like capital punishment in espionage or major betrayal of State. But no, u didnt.
Just to make things clearer, when I replied to Radiyah on the other thread, I do still stand for my position regarding putting it a must for one who is thinking to embrace Islam to read Quran in Arabic. That was my main point.
Enough being off topic.
