Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?

Re: Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?

@kchughtai

you very shrewdly shrugged off the question I asked . As to your question. I am not implying anything and being a muslim am upto bringing to light the REAL teachings of Islam in this regard. I will try and learn as well.
There are many scholars or I would not be wrong to say that majority of them are of the view that Apostate must be killed. Some say if he ‘propogates’ his new religion then the sentence apply. some say that he should be apprehended to recant or if he doesn’t, he must be given capital punishment. now tell me who will stand ground in the face of death. only the one who has strength of character and firmness of his beliefs and these guys will punish him for showing integrity. does that ring the bell for you and remind the approach adopted by kuffar during initial days of Islam. Bilal(ra) was severly punished while he kept uttering ‘Ahad’ ‘Ahad’. Islam is light and its torch bearers must not behave as if they are torch bearers of darkness.

In my view, punishment applies if anyone tries to sabotage the peace of the society one way or the other. This person could be an apostate, a blasphemer, a muslim, non-muslim etc.
Punishment applies if one pledges alegience to a state and then does treason against it. In religion, a person doing the same is called a munafiq and is not brought under punishment by default. so you guys must understand that deen-e-Islam should not be treated as a state.
Punishment may or may not apply (as situation suggests) for a person who changes sides openly. In religion a person doing the same is an apostate and is not given punishment by default.

Peace kchughtai,

For a while lets leave a side the majority of those pplz who says/view that Apostate must be killed. Share ur views in the light of Quran and hadith what both orders us?

@sanjsingh

I am searching for common ground LK but from another angle. It is good to see that Muslims like you are tolerant of such matters but the fact does remain that the majority of Islamic countries have laws which do not allow freedom of religion and they do this because of their interpretation of Islam.

Peace sanjsingh,

What your belief/religion says about if one act same as it?
