Another no-brainer (see below) that may have to go to the supreme court. More on this story. "Malaysia: Court denies woman’s appeal to leave Islam," from Inspire, August 21:
A civil court has denied a woman’s appeal to renounce Islam in favour of Christianity, highlighting the jurisdictional disputes in Malaysia’s dual legal system.While religious coercion, usually targeting defenseless, Christian children (see below), occurs all around the Islamic world, our wonderful Islamic "scholars" are busy trying to make it clear to the rest of the West that "There is no coercion in Islam." Of course the Koran itself states this; but then there's the troubling issue of al-nasikh we al-mansukh -- abrogation. One would have expected the "scholars" to be familiar with this doctrine which has all but rendered that Koranic verse moot, thanks to ayat al-sayf, 9:5. But this, of course, is too advanced and technical for the Western apologist.
Lim Yoke Khoon had filed a suit in her original ethnic Chinese name to renounce Islam and embrace Christianity. In a 2-1 majority ruling on 5 August, the Shah Alam Court of Appeal denied her case on a technicality, reports Compass Direct News.According to judges Tengku Baharudin Shah Tengku Mahmud and Sulong Mat Jeraie, Lim had ceased to exist under her original name when she converted to Islam and assumed a new name, Noorashikin Lim binti Abdullah.
The 35-year-old Lim is reportedly expected to appeal to the country’s top civil court. A public forum to discuss such jurisdictional disputes, in this case the dual court system’s effect on families of people who convert to Islam, was scheduled for Saturday 9 August, but Muslim protestors succeeded in halting it after only one hour.
And having Sharia law in any country is good because?
Long wait for apologists to find whitewash...........
Once a pod person, always a pod person.
Nice shell game they have going there. This may be a better option than filing for bankrupsy, right?
All the verses aside, what is really infuriating is that all one has to do is see how islam operates across the world where it is the governing system. But the apologists don't want to see. If they aren't careful and wake up soon, the last thing they'll see is the executioner walking up with a rather big knife.
So say she wins her appeal and is allowed to leave Islam, then what happens? She's sentenced to death for apostacy and stoned.
These apostates - can't they cross the border into Singapore or Thailand (in the latter case, move north to maybe Phuket, don't do it in Yala), do their conversions and their name changes there (maybe take a temporary citizenship in the process) and after it's all done, then return to Malaysia? That way, they enter Malaysia with their new identity, and start fresh.
After all, one can change ones religion, name and marry in any (non-Islamic) country, not just at home. Of course, they'd have to get the Malaysian embassy at such places to recognize it, which is why I suggest that they take temporary citizenship in the new countries, do their thing and then if they have to, apply for their Malaysian Citizenship.
Wouldn't it work?
Infidel Pride, I have to ask: if she could make her way to a non-islamic country and get any sort of citizenship there, then why in the name of [something profane] would she want to return to Malaysia?

True. But other countries may not be willing to take in new immigrants from Malaysia - Mohammedan or not - or may not be willing to take in new immigrants period. However, if someone went there only to convert and change their identity and then leave, they may not mind it as much. Not every Infidel from a Mohammedan country finds another country that will welcome them just because of their circumstances.
