Important points raised by Khairan

[Muslimah]

And yet, the Qur'an says \"Let there be no compulsion in religion.\"  If you threaten to kill someone for leaving Islam, are you not compelling there religious beliefs?   So, there is absolutely NO scriptural basis for killing apostates and this penalty is based solely on oral tradition.  Further, to my knowledge there is no historical record of the Prophet ever sentencing someone to death for apostasy.

as salam alykom

brother I am afraid u have a tendency of loosing the point, not sure why? as Dan told u I explained things as a native arabic speaker u still dont see them.

Well let us take things slowly here.

I am really keen on helping u.

I was simply discussing the in case a death penalty was enforced.

Again Islam is a system of the society including punishments for many crimes: murder, stealing, rape ( u know that rape has a punishment in Islam where did it come from?) go search this one, if no luck come and tell me.

Ok for the society to remain intact, such punishments must be applied.

Apostasy is a crime in Islam that has nothing to do with non Muslims,

We dont go pull a non muslim and torture him/her to embrace Islam, we dont even go around houses, knocking doors preaching our religion which is a gift.

Ok those outside we have nothing to do with them except calling them in a kind way or even simply pratice our religion and they will follow.

But did u see my point, which Iam not sure u even read it of the harm. Well I can repeat what I said no problem, Alhamdulelah i am usually patient with non Muslims, u even deserve more patience.

So dont mix the no complusion in religion with this.

Again crimes have punishments. and I will bring u more details Insh a Allah

just let us do it slowly and try to understand the point before u post replies.

can we make this agreement???
