Re: The punishment of apostate

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the best most sublime person of mankind that has ever lived and will ever live … He is also the most beautiful … Full of miracle … Kindest, Wisest … You will admire him (SAW) if you truly learn about him (SAW) … If you don’t feel that there is a problem in your knowledge about him (SAW) … If after that you choose to criticise him (SAW) … You will be doing it for one reason … To harm the sensitivities of the Muslims …
If you stand up and openly curse the mothers of people in a market square … No law will be able to protect you from harm … Because you in that moment have chosen to be an antagonist … Which forces people to react to you emotionally not intellectually.
To a certain extent the same thing happens here …
Put it this way if there was no punishment for insulting the Prophet (SAW) it would not matter … The public would take it … Since their emotions would be at boiling point. It is to protect the antagonist that they are taken into custody and given a trial to see whether their accusations are out of ignorance or hate … And if out of ignorance they are given an out …if not then the state will exercise due punishment in a more humane way that the public would want to do …
