Apostasy Laws

I think most apostasy law hadith that include the death penalty are coupled with someone who not just turned away from Islam but also became a traitor. In a fledgeling muslim society the whole community could be killed by just one person turning tails and conspiring with the enemy so it was a grave crime. So many countries have only just recently abolished the death penalty for treason so it’s not something unheard off in modern times (UK abolished the death penalty for treason in 1998).

To tell you the truth, the minute they moved to madina, it was like monster unleashed, not that they were any safer in makkah.. but madina, all the conflict, battles, society tension.
how could Prophet put up with all that… I could not comprehend any other man could have done it.
But then finally when he walked in makkah with a large army unopposed, he did not even dismiss a single person from his job. Woman who chew on his uncle’s liver was forgiven.

But madina was intense, prophet failing to defend him self there and muslims, we would have an other Jesus(pbuh) in Jerusalem scenario.

Things are crystal clear, but we just can not put our own word forward , above prophets words.

As far as attitude, concerns and intentions are clear. Mercy for every one, punishment for who wants corruption on earth.
