What kind of a stupid, idiotic and a moronic person who claims to be a Muslim for God’s sakes would ever in his right mind ever say something like this, and I quote:
Those who have decided to leave the religion for some reason, they don’t want to be Muslims anymore, what can you do? If they want to leave the religion, what are you going to do?
Looks like I have a pondan for a Prime Minister. Come to think of it, even a pondan has more guts than Pak Lah. As I have noted elsewhere, this person should be ashamed of caling himself the grandson of the well-known ulama and former mufti of Penang (my home state), Sheikh Abdullah Fahim.
Its time to remove this person from power, that is certain. Words fail to describe him at this juncture, so I am going to just stop talking about this spineless animal and refer you to this document by Syed Mumtaz Ali entitled Apostasy and Blasphemy in Islam. Of interest is this pertinent passage which sums up on what “he should do” or should not do, quoted from Abul ‘Ala Mawdudi’s The Muslim Conduct of State:
To wage war against apostates is justified on the same principle as that on which the punishment of a solitary apostate is based. The basis of Muslim polity being religious and not ethnological or linguistic, it is not difficult to appreciate the reason for penalising the act of apostasy, for it constitutes a politico-religious rebellion. The greater the harm of a given rebellion to a polity, the greater is the severity of repression. Every civilisation, not the least the modern Western one – both in the communistic and capitalistic manifestations – has provided capital punishment against violating the integrity of what it considers its very raison d’etre; and one cannot deny that right to Islam.
As an independent organic community, Islam will have the liberty to determine what points should be dearer to it: colour of one’s skin, language spoken by its subjects or ideology which animates its existence. As a passing remark, let us recall that the Byzantine law of the epoch of the Prophet also punished with death the apostasy from the Byzantine sect of Christianity. (paragraph 330)
Apostasy in Muslim law means turning from Islam after being a Muslim. Not only does it occur when a person declares his conversion to some non-Islamic religion, but also when he refuses to believe in any and every basic article of the Islamic faith. (paragraph 331)
The sayings and doings of the Prophet, the decision and practice of the Caliph Abu Bakr, the consensus of the opinion of the Companions of the Prophet and all the later Muslim jurists consults, and even certain indirect verses of the Qur’an, all prescribe capital punishment for an apostate. In the case of apostasy, no distinction is made between a Muslim born of Muslim parents and a convert; and similarly there is no difference between accepting Judaism or Christianity, atheism or idol-worship or any other non-Islamic faith. Nevertheless, Muslim jurists emphasize that before prosecuting and condemning an apostate, it is necessary officially to discuss the matter with him and to remove his doubts regarding the soundness and reasonableness of the Islamic point of view in the matter concerned. Time is given him for reflection sometimes even for months before finally proceeding with the prosecution. There is no difference between a free man and a slave, as Sarakhsiy is explicit.
In case an insane person, a delirious, a melancholy and perplexed man, a minor, or intoxicated, one who had declared his faith in Islam under coercion, and a person whose faith in Islam has not been known or established were to become apostate, they would not suffer the supreme penalty. So, too, an apostate woman, or a hermaphrodite, according to the Hanafi school of law, would not be condemned to death, but imprisoned and even physically tortured. An old man from whom no offspring is expected is also excepted. (paragraph 333)
TREATMENT OF AN APOSTATE.
The apostate has to choose between Islam and the sword; he cannot be given quarter, nor will he be allowed to become a dhimmi, i.e. a resident non-Muslim subject of the Muslim State, on payment of the yearly protection-tax. (paragraph 334)
De jure he is dead. So if he does not re-embrace Islam, and escapes to some non-Muslim territory, his property in the Islamic territory will be distributed among his Muslim heirs as if he were dead. In addition to this, the debts owed to him will be wiped out if he has reached non-Muslim territory. This is what Mawardi says, but I wonder why these debts should not be inherited by the heirs of the renegade just like the rest of his property.” (paragraph 335)
Hey…cool down bro. You won't want to get into trouble for this shit.
aiya…later he come back to Malaysia he will say different thing la…oppsss…that makes him a liar…alamak…how?????????????????
Superb article. Blog on!
As many of us (in the name of Muslim) in this era are incapable of doing the justice. Many countries choose the judges from the people or community as the other countries choosed theier judges from the President or Prime Minister or the King. The Just is accord and influence by the rulers. Its hapenned almost anywhere.
Recite form Dr.M " many people trying to doing just and imply the process of judgement which come the Ismalic law without realizing the most important element and the fundamental of Islam, that is, judging with justice"
I said this because we are tring to imply the 7th century islamic laws to the 20th century that can be or not compatible to the community and the society.
THINK
Istighfar and let ALLAH take care of him.
