Kuwaiti royal prince declares conversion to Christianity: "if they kill me because of it, then I will appear before Jesus Christ"

Why would Abdullah al-Sabah think he might be murdered for exercising his freedom of conscience? After all, Muslim spokesmen such as Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy.

Unfortunately, in doing so they fool credulous Westerners, but they disagree with Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" (Bukhari 9.84.57). And all the schools of Islamic law still teach that death is the proper penalty for apostates.

In a sane world, this would be an international human rights issue, with calls from the UN to protect apostates from Islam. But this is not a sane world.

"Kuwait: The prince's mysterious conversion," by Marco Tosatti for Vatican Insider, January 16 (thanks to Jerry Newcombe):

According to reports, a Kuwaiti royal prince has become a follower of Jesus Christ. In an audio file posted with his name, he affirms that if he is killed because of a recording he made where he talks about his conversion, he firmly believes that he will meet Jesus Christ face-to-face. The news comes from Middle Eastern sources which state that al-Haqiqa – a Christian satellite TV channel in Arabic that transmits Christian religious programmes – broadcast an audio file attributed to the Kuwaiti prince, identified as Abdullah al-Sabah. The al-Sabahs are the royal family of Kuwait, a country rich in oil. The name Abdullah (servant of God) frequently appears in the Emir’s family tree.

In his audio file, Abdullah declared: “First of all, I fully agree with the distribution of this audio file and I now declare that if they kill me because of it, then I will appear before Jesus Christ and be with him for all eternity.” In this statement, the prince demonstrates his awareness of the fate in store for a martyr of the faith, according to Christian doctrine. The television channel stated that Abdullah is a member of the royal family, and that he recently renounced his faith in Islam and became a Christian, without specifying which particular branch of Christianity he had chosen. After stating his full name, the prince declared: “I will accept whatever they do to me, because the truth in the Bible has guided me towards the right path.”

In the audio file, Abdullah talks about the Islamic groups that are winning the elections in Egypt and declares: “Islamic communities have always wanted to attack in different parts of the world but God has preserved the world and still protects it. This is why we have recently seen disagreements appearing among Islamic groups who are now fighting with each other. They are about to divide further into different groups.”

Mohabat News, a Christian Iranian website which has been following the fate of Christian minorities in the Middle East closely and which has monitored Abdullah’s statement, confirms that this news was published briefly by Arabic news agencies and also by the Iranian state news agency. Some independent websites with Shiite leanings denied the reports and quoted another Kuwaiti prince, Azbi al-Sabah, who said: “There’s no one by that name in the Kuwaiti royal family.” In actual fact, the name Abdullah does not appear on the list of the 15 members of the royal family who rule this small, extremely wealthy country in different capacities: from the Sheikh down to Princess Nijirah al-Sabah, who testified in the US Congress under the assumed name of "Nurse Nayirah" on the humanitarian situation in the country after the invasion by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and just before the Gulf War. That isn’t to say that this high-profile convert is not hidden somewhere within the extended family, under a different name.

In Kuwait the overwhelming majority of the population is Muslim (only 4% is Christian) and the country’s Constitution states: “Islam is the official religion of the country and Sharia is the main source for legislation.”,

Will our politically correct moderators put this one on the front page, let's see

^^^^^^ In my view, he is free to choose his religion and end up in where the adherents of that religion will end up.

[Quote]"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him" (Bukhari 9.84.57).[/Quote]This hadith is destroyed and rendered weak by the Quranic verse below;
[Quote]4/137; Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way.[/Quote]

I can give you other verses that render your "they will kill him a lie against Islam".

firstly,if this piece of news is true (which i doubt as the end of the article in the OP confesses),this man must be drunk for him to have made this ignorant statement:

"because the truth in the Bible has guided me towards the right path"



besides,these princes drunk with petro-dollars are no role models for muslims and others.you can see how deprave the saudi royals are.wikileaks revealed how they party and patronize pros.titutes,drink, and do all sorts of evil things contrary to Islam.this is the menace of wahhabism:the rules are only enforced on the weak and poor.unfortunately,many (ignorant of facts) see his white gown and head gear as "symbols of Islam",not knowing that the dress is more cultural than religious.


as for the news itself ,[b]i very much doubt it even though it is neither impossible nor wonderful.i do because for Shia websites to deny the news,then it must be false.the Shia are not in love with most royal families in the gulf region of the middle east;the royals being anti-Shia wahhabis.so it would have being the Shia who would propagate the news if it were true to mock the wahhabis that one of theirs is turning to pagan christianity.but the Shia websites according to the report have denied it.also,why would he release an audio?why not a video? the royal family does not recognize that any of them bear that name according to the report.using a name in the royal family like "Abdullah al-Sabah" is vague.we are not told who this "Abdullah" is.the royal family in Kuwait are either of the clan of "al-Sabah" or "al-Ahmad".so they should at least tell us as arabs do identify with their father's name whose son in the royal family this man is.but nothing.it obviously just another desperate attempt by the christian missionaries to use propaganda to sparehead their pagan beliefs.[/b]

nonetheless,i will follow the "breaking news" to see the lie behind it!

and as for the issue of persecution,you should take a look at the case of this Italian "prince" who turned to Islam:

Its not just about accepting christianity,

Whatever sin he has commited before,and whatever wrong he has done, he must repent of it and worship God in truth and spirit.

Accepting Christ is a big step,and with all his heart and actions comfessed him,as his Lord and savior.
This man,if killed today. His faith shall save him. .

Don't use that LOVE blackmail with me 

Revealing truth is not Hate !!

This is what God's word says about DUMB Idols.

Isaiah 44 : 9 - 12
"They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint."

Such is the likes of ALLAH !!

This report is only on christian media, there are no independent sources,

I can only give one advice

O you who believe! If some transgressor brings you news (that requires taking action), verify it carefully (before you believe and act upon it), lest you harm a people in ignorance and then become regretful for what you have done. (Quran49:6)

This is applicable to everyone even you frosbel,

And the hero of the christians; a man who murdered his family member in cod blood.

I guess he converted so that the christian world can get him released. He loves Jesus so much that he killed muslims to get to him.

see. that was easy.

where is that "dog" (according to Jesus) called "frosbel"?
