There is nothing at all simple about marrying a non-Muslim man, nor is the matter of apostasy a simple one. From such a marriage would spring forth children who will not practice Islam because their parents don’t. They, in turn, will teach their ways to their descendants and future generations. Maybe for you it is a non-issue, but there are many people even amongst Muslims who believe that anything which will have a profound impact upon the lives of the next nasal is no simple matter. It certainly isn’t easy, but one has to think about more than just lurrrve.

I have not researched the topic in depth, but I’ve learned about various perspectives which are as follows: The apostasy ruling is said to have come about when several Jews who had converted to Islam were reverting back to their faith with the intent to weaken the Muslims and to cause them to question Islam and abandon the faith. So, one opinion is that the penalty for apostasy is not for the singular occurrences. Another opinion is that the penalty is applied to those who have the deliberate agenda to mislead the Muslims. In yet another video, a sheikh explained that it is not for the common folks to declare someone as an apostate and to easily sentence them to death. It is not so simple. There is a procedure in place. The said apostate is first talked to by a panel of judges and scholars who will try to guide him or her. Should the person not come around, the panel then turns the matter over to the ruler of the Islamic country. It has to be the ruler who administers the punishment, it cannot be issued by a person of a lesser authority. In another video, yet another scholar stated that execution is not the standard penalty for apostasy and he supported this view with an example of the Prophet SAWS showing leniency toward an apostate. So, these are the different angles for you to consider, Bella. You made the blanket statement that shariah, on the whole and in its entirety, is dangerous and barbaric based on this one issue. Frankly speaking, I don’t appreciate you trying to rile the Muslims to oppose shariah or to view shariah as an overall evil thing. You had previously asked where the Muslims of GS who seem to support shariah stand on this issue. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the tone behind this question sounds like you’re testing the Muslims. You were not concerned about the shariah or the mass opinion and approval of Muslims when you first decided to marry your non-Muslim husband, so I don’t understand your need to gauge the overall consensus of the GS Muslims about your marriage or this particular type of marriage or apostasy at this point.

Accepting or leaving islam or ANY religion should be a choice and not forced! would you like it if the muslim reverts/converts were getting persecuted in america or europe for leaving Christianity and accepting islam? if someone is forced to stay muslim and if someone is not allowed to marry a non-muslim, then it shows that islam does force its followers to stay muslim. in that case, all those muslims who claim islam does not have compulsion are lying. so please tell me which one is it? either sharia is not truly islamic or it is? some muslims here seem to disagree with this law yet some people see nothing wrong with it.
secondly, yes im asking certain GS muslims to explain WHY they support such barbaric sharia laws. it does affect me as im in the same position as this innocent woman. i am not ‘testing’ muslims, as i know very well how intolerant people on GS think. i want to know why and how anyone can support killing of a woman for marrying non-musim or for apostasy. yes it pisses me off how intolerant some people can be. this is the problem with muslim world today. unless we change our mindset, nothing will ever change. unless we learn to be tolerant of each other, world will remain a scary place.
I am not saying whether the prophet or islam actually supported killing of apostates or not, but the fact that some muslim countries follow that law is ridiculous. if you agree with that, at least you should be able to condemn this murder rather than criticizing my post.
whether this law is truly islamic or not, the execution of this woman is truly barbaric, do you agree?
