maclatunji:

You are deliberately missing the point. Why are the "few" non-Muslim terrorists not given extended and detailed coverage by the media is the question.

sam4xadams:
Because the greatest terrorist that was ever in history of religion is committed by muslim: bombing of the twin tawer

ALTRUTH:
Kill all d pple that share d ideology and d ideology dies with them!

ALTRUTH:
Thank God u hav enough sense to know that islam is frm allah because it is not frm GOD.

tbaba1234:

Crusades??
Spanish inqusition??

sam4xadams:
Are u now telling me that the crusaders shouldn't defend there land that has been encroaching on by ur Muslim just as the fulani kills n destroyed farmers in nigeria? Come on u know d story

tbaba1234:

I know that hundreds of thousands were murdered by invading armies based on an exaggerated reality.

tbaba1234:

Not to forget that apostasy was punished by the death penalty in Christianity for centuries.

tbaba1234:

Even heard of the 'Army of God'?? Army of God (AOG) is a Christian terrorist anti-abortion organization.

It is terrorist group that blows up abortion clinics. Groups like that think they are fighting for christian ideals.

Probably the first time, you have heard of it..

Well.. Point made!

chief batiatus:

Any other army bent on other aspects u know? So they bomb only the abortion clinics? Why are they not doing hospitals, airplanes (since doctors travel in them), embassies of countries where abortion are legalissed? Am ashamed u cud even tell the truth. My friend go and get another religion!

BetaThings:

The punishment for apostasy in Islam is death. Now this was really practised when Islam early in the history of Islam when it was at war with non-muslims and survival depended on protecting war plans
I don't see it being practised now.

Mozehh:

Yes (quite possibly even though no such story comes to mind). And perhaps this automatically makes it right to kill people who do it now. "by your reasoning", it is not wrong for Jonathan's govt. to be corrupt since the people who held government positions before him were corrupt. Please justify your religion without comparing it to others.

tbaba1234:

Do your research.

The person who asked a question is indirectly comparing,

If a person from glo says something about MTN, it is to prove that his company is better.

Mozehh:

If you have this belief, then it is difficult for me to assume you look at things objectively since there is the possibility of you having to die if you see things from a different perspective than you currently do. The man who has nothing to lose can allow his mind to wander until it comes to rest on what makes the most sense and appeals to reason the most. On the other hand, the man who is at risk of losing his life is only bound to think along the lines that would preserve the life everyone holds so dearly to. This, sir, is where our beliefs differ.

tbaba1234:

You just compared like i suspected. It is the height of hypocrisy when this was done for centuries by christian states.

sam4xadams:
The truth is: u never believe the truth coz u no the truth. Now let's go forward coz we r in twentieth century. Was the bombing of the twin tawer the greatest terrorist ever carried our by terrorist Muslim? Ans yes or no.
Can't believe you don't want to answer

sam4xadams:
Are u justifying terrorist activities that are carried out by jihadist like boko boys, Al qeda, taliba, Osama bin ladin, n other islamist terrorist? Wait oh.

tbaba1234:

You just compared like i suspected. It is the height of hypocrisy when this was done for centuries by christian states.

Mozehh:

Yes. I used an analogy in politics to explain my point. And yes, it would be hypocrisy if the christians of today view the activities of the ancient christians favorably. But most that i am aware of do not.

tbaba1234:

Christians practised a far more brutal form of the law.

Laws have procedure.In Islam, it is not that straightforward. There are several conditions. Most times people don't get punished at all.

Mozehh:

So what are those conditions? And how do they somehow justify the killing of an innocent person who is no longer bound by islamic law because he has changed his beliefs?

tbaba1234:

Well, the term innocent is relative. No one is killed for simply converting. Infact, you are free to convert.

Mozehh:

Pls don't stop here, I would like more information. What makes them guilty?

tbaba1234:

The first thing to say is that in islam, there is no compulsion in religion, The Quran(translated) states:

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (Quran 2:256)

However in an[i] Islamic state[/i], there are certain conditions where conversion is accompanied with acts that could be considered treasonable by the state. The punishment for treason is death.

The act of just conversion is not punishable in most cases, however if that conversion is accompanied by an attempt to discredit Islam or propagate another religion within the islamic state, It is considered treasonable.

The apostacy law came about during the time of the prophet;

In order to discredit Islam, some Jews in medina would accept islam in the day and leave by sunset; They continued to do so until the law was put in place.

Guess how many people did so the next day? None,

Look at the apostacy law this way;

Acts against the nation are considered treason aren't they? what is punishment for treason in 9ja?

The constitution of an Islamic state is based on Islam; If i live in the state, i abide by its laws;

If someone leaves Islam in an Islamic state for whatever reason, as long as he doesn't go around opening trying to convert people to whatever belief/unbelief he has found thereby trying to discredit the constitution of the state. He is fine. Otherwise, It is treasonable.

He can live his life, he doesn't have to pray or fast if he doesn't want to..

Besides, the person is not just executed, he speaks to the scholars about his doubts and is provided evidences about the divinity of the Quran so as to convince him, if that fails, he is threatened basically to shut him up from proselytizing disbelief in an Islamic state. If he relents, he is let go and can continue in his disbelief and live his normal life.

Mozehh:

2 things.

1) Dr. Nair did not specify that his belief on apostasy which "betathings" approves of, applies only to islamic states.
2) I think that bringing death (or the threat of death) into a reasoning exercise somehow removes the possibility of objectivity and allows decisions to be made based on fear. But that is just my opinion. Afterall, what do I know?

sam4xadams:
So pathetic, u speak from both mouth saying u can quit islam n u can quit islam else is death for treason. Pity does that are vying to quit. Other religion not even xtian quit n join frwely
