Re: Being killed for marrying a christian man and leaving Islam

I think you’ve gotten that answer from everyone here. I’m not sure who you’re waiting for to come along that says “yes, this is jaahiz in Islam”. So then what? You’ll stand up and give yourself a clap and pat on the back for abandoning the faith of your parents? Meanwhile the rest of us are saying it’s not part of Islam, and in your opinion, we’ve just got an “enlightened moderate version” of Islam, as if it’s not even the real Islam, it’s just an excuse we’ve made up for the reality of Islam.

I do not condone these actions, and neither does Islam. Grow up and deal with it. The people who do, are not here, and they have a poor understanding of Islam. These same countries also believe horrid things like female mutiliation are a part of Islam, so I guess now that’s the Truth too?
Just because some jaahil out there ascribes something to Islam, doesn’t make it so.
If Islam was all about killing off anyone that did not believe then the first person Rasulullah should have gone after was his uncle. In fact, he shouldn’t have wasted years and years of his life in preaching peace, he should have just started killing people.
The wars that happened in Islamic history in Muhammad’s (SAW) time, unfortunately, were wars of desperation and defense against a genocide happening against the early believers. That’s where the verses about killing kaafirs come in. Apart from self-defense in those situations, no Believer has a right to raise his/her hand against anyone else.
And the Quran is pretty direct on this. If you care to actually read it.
