Therefore I was ignorant and did not know whether my religion was logical or practical." Further, on page 190 he also wrote "As a Muslim, I was thinking that I was righteous and heading towards more righteousness. Alas, I did not know that the supreme desire of Muhammad and Islam had nothing to do with righteous and spiritual progress. It was all about the world and worldly desires. Jesus have His life for friends and enemies to draw attention to love and holiness, but Muhammad did not let even his friends express themselves in his presence; he slaughtered his oppositions."<br />Dr, Shayesteh said a lot in those few words . Let the fact of reality be seen be all who are willing to see the truth.<br /> <br /> <br />Walter Sieruknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-91407319418452484982013-02-26T20:29:41.540-08:002013-02-26T20:29:41.540-08:00the thing is, islam is a cult, the moon god cult o...the thing is, islam is a cult, the moon god cult of hindu god shiva. basically, it is a sect of hinduism. the abrahamic bits are borrowed,corrupted from jewish and neo-jewish(christian) texts to fit the false prophet of islam - mahomad. <br /><br />the moon god allah is not the god of christians or jews, the god of abraham,isshac and yakob. this is one of the major secrets about islam which is not often discussed.<br /><br />it is a terror cult and followers are usually slaves of the cult. only murtads can save muslims from islam. mohammadans must leave islam and embrace christianity or buddhism.cbget1975http://faithfreedom.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-6608995007724516432010-04-11T17:45:10.264-07:002010-04-11T17:45:10.264-07:00The Qur'an itself, if I recall correctly, is a...The Qur'an itself, if I recall correctly, is a bit vague on the penalty for apostasy. But there are quite a few early reports of Muhammad calling for the death of apostates. And I mean reports that Muslim scholars consider authoritative, such as Sahih Bukhari, the most canonical of hadith collections, in which Muhammad said, <a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/084.sbt.html#009.084.057" rel="nofollow"><b>"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."</b></a> Various other authoritative hadiths attest that Muhammad called for death to those who leave Islam. That's why even today all the schools of Islamic law prescribe death for apostasy.Traehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09997009621742454158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-9515232914720230162008-09-28T21:24:00.000-07:002008-09-28T21:24:00.000-07:00Citizen Warrior,----------------------------------...Citizen Warrior,<BR/><BR/>-------------------------------------------------------<BR/>Apostasy means "renouncing the faith." If someone is a Jew or a Hindu or whatever and they decide they don't want to be one anymore, that is apostasy.<BR/>-------------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Yeah, but if you are a Christian, a Jew, or a Hindu, or belong to the vast majority of any other faiths, and your renounce your faith, most likely the people who share the faith you once believed in, won't try to kill you for it. That's true, at least in our modern age. But Islam is different. Even today its most ardent adherents are determined to make the world think and act the way they want, weather they like it or not. The Jihadists see themselves as followers of a religion of peace, yet they are the most intolerant people on the planet today.

Like the violence over the Danish cartoons of Muhammad, or the Ayatollah Khomeini's demand that Salman Rushdie be killed for blasphemy, it reveals a systematic, worldwide attempt by Islamists to imprison, kill, or otherwise silence anyone who challenges their ideology."Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-65808845805554182232008-09-18T11:35:00.000-07:002008-09-18T11:35:00.000-07:00If you'd like to know more about the experiences o...If you'd like to know more about the experiences of those who have left Islam, what they went through, and why they decided to do it, check out <A HREF="http://www.faithfreedom.org/testimonials.htm" REL="nofollow">Faith Freedom</A>.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-7194574659160166872008-09-16T10:54:00.000-07:002008-09-16T10:54:00.000-07:00The death penalty for apostasy?

Not in today's world, right?<BR/><BR/>Read this story, published in September, 2008:<BR/><BR/>The Iranian Parliament voted in favor of a bill Tuesday that would punish apostasy with the death penalty, a human rights group reported.<BR/><BR/>Lawmakers approved the bill with 196 votes in favor, seven against, and two abstentions, according to U.K.-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide. The draft bill seeks to add several crimes to the list of acts that would result in execution, including “establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution, and apostasy.”<BR/><BR/>CSW advocacy director Alexa Papadouris commented, “It is deeply worrying to hear that just days after Matin-Azad and Basirat have been charged with apostasy at a court in Shiraz, the Iranian Parliament is debating a bill that could codify the death penalty for someone choosing their own religion.”<BR/><BR/>Mahmoud Mohammad Matin-Azad, 53, and Arash Ahmad-Ali Basirat, 40, are Christian-converts from Islam who were charged with apostasy last week at the Public and Revolutionary Court in Shiraz, Iran. They are currently awaiting the court’s verdict and have been detained since May 15, 2008.<BR/><BR/>In August, there were five known arrests of Iranian Christians in three cities by authorities, according to the persecution watchdog agency Compass Direct News. Among those arrested was Ramtin Soodmand, who is the son of the last Christian convert to be executed for leaving Islam, on Aug. 21, 2008.<BR/><BR/>Soodmand’s father, Hossein Soodmand, was an Assemblies of God pastor who was executed by the state in 1990 under the false charge of working as an American spy. Since Soodmand’s death, six other Protestant pastors have been assassinated by unknown assailants....Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.com
