I have a friend who converted out of Islam, and same thing. She’ll bring all sorts of press stories of bad things people are doing , who happen to have muslim names, or they say these bad deeds are in accordance with Islam. Just to justify her decision to convert out. Must have been some insecure decision if we have to keep bringing up proof of how horrible muslims are.

Secure people do not try to preach to others no doubt what you are saying is correct. Perhaps your friend in a misguided way wants you to feel sympathetic for her. I think it’s great that you are maintaining great relations with her despite her provoking actions. Maybe as this a personal issue for Bella and since she is Pakistani and knows similar laws exist in Pakistan she feels emotional about it. No doubt not everyone should be painted with the brush. It could be an oversight on her behalf and like Southie said she maybe just wanted to criticise such laws which put people to death. Death is irreversible and even capital punishment for murderers is being questioned in the West. There are plenty of prosperous Muslim countries which have fair and just laws like Turkey, Albania etc so it should not be seen as a religious issue but one of laws. I’d think there is enough societal stigma against such actions to deter most people from doing things casually.
