Before you blame Saudi Arabia, don't forget that this happened because of some Western idi.ots who continues to trade (including arms that they have refudeed yo sell to the Nigetian government) with Saudi Arabia despite its blatant abuse for HR.

Also, Saudi Arabia is the Chairman of UN HR panel

Why should I worry my head when the powerful have decided to tackle issues at the source because of power and wealthundecided

That should explain it.

I read the post despite its length, and all I saw was some lazy attempt by the writer to make islam look less bad and absolve it from some of the barbaric acts done in its name. The guy believes that even if apostasy might not merit a death penalty, it still remain a criminal offence and those found guilty should be detained until such time that they repent.
It is notable that a famous companion, Omar, was disappointed when he learned that an apostate was killed. When asked what he would have done he suggested that the apostate should have been detained and given an opportunity to reconsider his decision. He did not speak of any time limit, which may negate the notion of mandatory capital punishment. The same view was held by two of the generation of “Tabi‘een” , namely Ibrahim Al-Nakh‘I and Sufian Al-Thawri. Some scholars argue that the apostasy in the early days of Islam was in the context of security and war situation. For example, Jamal Al-Banna suggest that: “the notion of apostasy it the time of the Prophet [P] was coupled with animosity against Islam and waging war against it. So, one who believed in him [the Prophet] was endeavoring to support him, and one who apostated was endeavoring to wage war against him and join the idolatrous folk”. 25 He then gives an example the case of Abdullah Ibn Abi Al-Sarh who accepted Islam, then apostated and then went to Makkah to instigate the tribe of Quraish to fight against the Prophet [P]. A similar view was expressed by Shaikh Abdul-Majeed Subh. 26

In summary, the imam believes that it is ok to stone adulterers but not so for apostates unless they are opposed to Muhammed. Tell me again what you think is virtuous with this position? Granted, it appears less bad compared to the Islamic state and Saudi, but not by much.

I never said that wasn't the case, hence the descriptor "conservative muslims". Unless you want to argue that those muslims who are in support of death penalty for adultery and apostasy (which by the way make up a whopping majority of muslims in countries like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia) are not real muslims, otherwise you will have to accept that their interpretation is a plausible reading of the quran and the hadith that is no less valid than yours.

I use Saudi Arabia as a benchmark because their land is the home of your prophet and they speak the same arabic language that the quran was written in, so one can argue that their understanding of the religion should hold more weight than yours whom I presumes speaks little or no arabic.

I am talking about view of the average Saudi muslim man and woman. Unless people with such views are guilty of takfir, and are no longer considered to be part of the muslim ummah, then I think calling them conservative muslims is more accurate.

Sorry, I know I am spoiling your mood, but you are no longer making sense nor arguing rationally. Why are you denying your hadith which clearly shows that your prophet was a pedofile for marrying a 6 year old girl? And note that Aisha was engaged to jubair before your prophet jelously initiated the cancellation of the engagement so that he can have her (the same thing he did to zaid so that he can marry zainab). Dont you believ in your hadith again? Is sahih bukhari no longer part and parcel of islamic source material? Walahi you will be publicly beheaded in saudi arabia if you openly deny these hadiths. Do you understand islam more than the saudis?

I am not forcing any muslim to leave islam but just pointing out the fact that islamic prophet is not a decent man, using the quran and the hadith. Am I the one that wrote the quran and the hadith? No. Original muslims (the arabs) do not deny the hadith which exposed the criminalities of your prophet, they rather view mohammed deeds as a noble thing but you fake nigerian muslims (who arabs see as fake and arab slaves) would rather spend all your time and energy emotionally defending the arabain baddest man and slave trader, Mohammed ibn Abdullah (slave of allahh).

If you dont accept the hadith on mohammed marriage to aisha (at 6) and mohammed snatching zainab from zaid, why do you accept that hadith that asked you to pray five time a day (you can as well show me where it was written in your quran to pray 5 times a day)?

The first country any sane person will use to bench-mark islam is saudi arabia. Saudi arabia is the home to the islamic prophet, the home to the two islamic most sacred cities (mecca and medina), the place the islamic prophet was buried, the home to the famous prophet mosque, the home to muslims' most sacred shrine which muslims worldwide idolize (the kabba). Saudi arabia is one of the few countries that accept all the hadiths and the sunnah of the islamic prophet (without question) because they understand the history of islam and part and parcel of the islamic history. So who is more islamic than saudi arabia, is it Nigeria? Tell me the country we should use to bench-mark islam.

If saudi arabia make apostasy punishable by death they are following the hadith and the sunnah of the islamic prophet. Muslims living in saudi arabia, pakistan, iran, sudan, somalia etc, have no problem with killing apostates (in line with islamic laws) but muslims living in 'decent' countries find it embarrassing to their religion hence will cook up many lies in order to deny their apostasy law. Many muslims lives a duplicate life and beliefs and thats bad.

Lets see some hadith that justify the killing of apostates:

Sahih Bukhari, volume 9, #17

"Narrated Abdullah: Allah's Messenger said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Messenger, cannot be shed except in three cases: in Qisas (equality in punishment) for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (Apostate) and leaves the Muslims."

Sahih Bukhari, volume 9, #57 Narrated Ikrima, "Some atheists were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's messenger forbade it, saying, "Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire)." I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."

Sahih Bukhari, volume 9, #58 Narrated Abu Burda, "Abu Musa said.....Behold there was a fettered man beside Abu Musa. Muadh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Musa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Musa requested Muadh to sit down but Muadh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and his messenger," and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers .....

These are very few hadiths that justified killing of apostates in islam. So if saudi arabia is evil and barbaric, that means islam is evil and equally barbaric because the saudi government rule by 100% sharia law and consevatively follow the trilogy the the quran, the hadith (especillay sahih bukhari and sahih muslim) and the sunnah (especially ones from ibn ishaq and al-tabari).

On a final note, can you provide any country to bench-mark islam since you claim that saudi arabia is not islamic enough to be used for bench-marking islamic beliefs?

Kool down sister, I dare to differ from you on certain issues. Whether you like it or not, apostasy law is an integral part of islamic law and jurispundence except if you are ignorant of islam. All conservative muslim countries apply apostasy law by killing whoever leaves islam, either officially or extra-judicial killing, the goal is the same (KILL APOSTATES AND CRITICS OF ISLAM) and the invoke the hadith and the sunnah for their actions.

You may not like it but it is part of islam and that what make islam the most brutal and dangerous religion on planet earth.

That's one of the reasons I'm an atheist, you can't kill someone for disagreeing with your views.

China executes drug traffickers and even though I am staunchly against the death penalty for whatever reason, there's still a tiny bit of justification for this punishment because drugs endanger the life of the user and people around the user.

But for Saudi Arabia, killing someone for expressing himself is the most inhumane thing to do. To say that because it is law and it is their land is extremely selfish and goes to show your lack of empathy. I don't care the god you worship, who you are, or where you're from; if you infringe on someone's rights, someone should call you out on it.

Saudi Arabia is has disgusting laws. Nobody should be killed for being an unbeliever. They are no better than ISIS, and anyone who defends this terrible thing is no better either. People like that have no place in the 21st century.

JESUS Christ died and those Abrahamic laws were abolished.

answer this question,

name one Christian country that has the capital punishment for apostates.

Even in the Vatican city where the pope lives, there's freedom of worship. Even in Jerusalem, theres freedom of worship. That only shows that there's something wrong with Islam and all its adherents
Jesus orders Christians to follow the Law of Moses in the Old Testament: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18) " It is quite clear from these verses from the New Testament that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the Old Testament and did say that every single "letter" of it has to be honored, followed and fulfilled.

You're avoiding the question here. How is this humane? What country is killing people for leaving christianity in the 21st century? Saudi Arabia is no better than ISIS. The UN just can't intervene because of all the oil.
you did' not get me... I said the bible is more inhumane cos it prescribed death to apostate... get it?

thou apostasy law is Islamic,no country can be used to bench-mark Islam.
Thanks man, I like your sincerity here that apostasy law is purely islamic, that is to say, it is islamically acceptable to kill whoever leaves islam, especially in muslim countries. Do you think it is ok for anyone to kill his fellow human being because he decided to reject (after being a muslim) allahh and god and mohammed as his messenger?

Is religion\faith not meant to me a personal thing between a man and God?

Jesus orders Christians to follow the Law of Moses in the Old Testament: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18) " It is quite clear from these verses from the New Testament that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the Old Testament and did say that every single "letter" of it has to be honored, followed and fulfilled.
Can you show me any nation on earth that currently make it a state law to kill whoever abandon christianity or judaism? Or can you tell me any nation on earth that follow judaism or christian theocrasy as a syetem of govt. I need only one please.
