Re: Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?
So science like physics, astronomy and medicine, to name a few, were religious things? Sorry, but I don’t buy it. Our ‘zawal’ happened with the mongol invasions when the caliphate in baghdad got beaten militarily and muslims answer was to regress back to what christians were doing in the dark ages.
As far as apostasy is concerned, I do get that you could charge someone with treason if they are actively conspiring against muslims, but did the Prophet himself kill apostates just for converting out? Sorry, but how is it different from say MQM where people have allegedly gotten killed for leaving the party? I would rather give the person the option to leave islam than be a hypocrite about it. No wonder Jinnah tried to pull Pakistan to a secular underpinning, as knew how islam could be misused to create instability like we see fatwas of kaafirs against each sect, let alone apostates, in today’s Pakistan.
