Community rallies round apostate

One convert interviewed for the programme told how his local Muslim community in Bradford closed ranks against him after he switched to Christianity. 'They told me categorically had I been in an Islamic country - Pakistan, Middle East - that they would actually be the first to chop off my head,' he said.

"Ayaan Hirsi Ali will not escape her punishment: death"

"If Hirsi Ali is murdered by a woman that will have a much bigger impact"

Fatima, Naima and Khadisja, interviewed in "De Volkskrant". Naima "stelt dat de zusters geduld hebben. 'Al moet het tien jaar duren.'" - the sisters are patient: "even if it will take ten years". Even if Hirsi Ali gives up and disappears, it's still "too late" for her: "she will not escape her punishment: death".

Death penalty for apostates passes unopposed in Pakistan

7.Punishment for apostasy:- (1) If a male person makes the commission of apostasy offence, he shall be awarded death sentence.

An Apostasy Act has been sent by Pakistan's National Assembly to a Standing Committee for approval. Proposed by Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (the MMA is a coalition of Islamist groups, including the Jamaat-e-Islami, whose representatives serve on the Muslim Council of Britain via the Islamic Mission and the Islamic Foundation). The Apostasy Act 2006 proposes the death penalty for apostates, who may be offered up to the gallows by observant Muslims: "The saying of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) is that he who leaves Islam and converts into another must be killed." See full text of Apostasy Act 2006.

Pakistan's penal code already imposes the death penalty for defiling "the sacred name of the holy Prophet Mohammed" - ordinary christians and muslims have already been murdered by the state for petty thought crimes.

Burn apostate 'scum'

This lady is scum, she is appeasing the west, by making false accusations against Islam. ...She says that the Quran is not the literal word of Allah, and claims other muslims also think this, well even to have doubt in this is KUFR (Disbelief) ...
She is just that fuel for the fire, charcoal for a barbeque, like a matchstick to a cigarette, like petrol for a car. Nothing more!!!!

Hating apostates

Obviously this action of leaving Islaam should be something hated to any sane Sunni muslim just as they would hate to be thrown into the Hellfire because Islaam is one of the greatest blessings that Our Creator has given to us.

Brave "apostate" sent to Jahannam

"When she arrived at the area of the ambush the brothers rained her with bullets from their machine-guns killing her instantly," Ansar al-Sunna said. It added that it had found the telephone numbers of policemen on her mobile phone, citing this as evidence that "she was an agent for the apostate police and the government of the apostate [Prime Minister, Nouri] al-Maliki."

When colleagues called Mrs al-Haideri's phone after she was murdered it was answered by an insurgent who said "she went to hell".

Lord Ahmed, Rushdie, and the "martyrs" of 9/11

What would one say if the Saudi or Afghan governments honoured the martyrs of the September 11 attacks on the United States?

Nazir is pretty cheesed off with Labour, but it didn't really bother anyone when he supported the Tories. So the Baron compares Rushdie to people who massacred 3000 workers in 2001. And calls them martyrs.

The Lahore street speaks

The clerics tried to gather the attention of the Data Darbar visitors over the issue.....Some passers-by were found asking, “Why are they protesting? Who is Rushdie?” “What do these clerics want?”

A "handful of clerics belonging to various religious parties" had gathered at the Data Darbar complex to represent 1.5 billion people and to canvas support for the murder of Rushdie. Daily Times, 23 June 2007

Businessmen bid for head of apostate
