The Islamic State considers itself to be the caliphate, the sole legitimate government to which Muslims owe allegiance. So wanting to leave it is tantamount to opposing Allah and Muhammad.
“There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone…’” (Qur’an 60:4)
“You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred.” (Qur’an 58:22)
“O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 9:23)
“Islamic State member executes his mother in Syria: monitor,” Reuters, January 8, 2016:
An Islamic State militant executed his mother in public in the Syrian city of Raqqa because she had encouraged him to leave the group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Friday.
The woman in her 40s had warned her son that a U.S.-backed alliance would wipe out Islamic State and had encouraged him to leave the city with her.
She was detained after he informed the group of her comments, according to the British-based Observatory, which monitors the war through a network of sources on the ground.
Citing local sources, the Observatory said the 20-year-old man executed his mother on Wednesday near the post office building where she worked in front of hundreds of people in Raqqa, a main base of operations for the group in Syria.
The Islamic State group, which controls wide areas of Syria and Iraq, has executed hundreds of people it has accused of working with its enemies or breaching of its ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam.
For Reuters, you’re ultraconservative if you implement Sharia in the Islamic State and ultra-conservative if you oppose Sharia in the U.S.

The punishment for apostasy is death, as the Koran repeatedly invokes, so no surprise here in the actions of the matricidal True Believer.
But there is a get-out-of-hell-free card for those apostates who behave as the Kuffars when living amongst them – consuming alcohol and recreational pharmaceuticals – even dealing them as in the case of the Boston Bomber, or practicing fornication and homosexuality – because this provides the cover to practice Taqqiya more effectively, to wait for the moment to strike when the deluded dhimmis least expect it. And then there will be reward rather than punishment for the elimination of an offending Kuffar.
ECAW says
“The punishment for apostasy is death, as the Koran repeatedly invokes”
Don’t think so. As far as I’ve seen in the Koran punishment is left up to Allah.
spartan says
Then ECAW i refer you to the following site posted by Islamic scholars: https://islamqa.info/en/20327:
ECAW says
So, in the middle of all that waffle we find the one active ingredient which justifies execution for apostasy – nothing in the Koran, but a hadith.
TheBuffster says
ECAW, while the command to kill apostates may not be in the Koran, this *is* in the Koran: “O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority” [al-Nisa’ 4:59]
So when Mohammad tells his followers “Whoever changes his [Islamic] religion, kill him” – as stated in the Bukhari hadith collection, which is the most authoritative hadith collection, it doesn’t matter if a direct command to kill apostates isn’t in the Koran.
And all major schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that execution is the proper punishment for apostasy.
But, technically, I believe you’re right that death for apostasy isn’t directly commanded in the Koran.
ECAW says
Buffster – Not just “technically” but “actually” 🙂
Angemon says
She wasn’t even an apostate, she just suggested they should leave town to safeguard their lives.
Goat Pimp says
The sickness never stops.
I can’t believe we are supposed to “respect this as a great religion” as Obama implores us to do. This ideology (Islam) is the most depraved a human mind can possibly dream up.
The awful truth says
According to Buddhist teachings killing ones mother or father are among the worst things a human can do that guarantees suffering in the life after with no escape for a longer time in what are ultimately temporary existences. I just wonder how this barbaric religion carried on for so long except perhaps the apostacy code and “you can’t draw Muhammad” code – and of course “democracy”.
the renegade says
@awful truth, trillion dollar and a very great question ~ how did Islam carry on for so long, a few possible answers:
~ humanity stood up to the likes of tyrants like Hitler and many others but why not Muhamnad? one did his evil with out taking God`s name and the other did it taking God`s name for every sin he committed or was about to commit;
~ people blindly have false faith in this lie called Islam spewed by deputy of Satan called Muhammad, so blind they are that they would they would even kill their own mothers which no child would even think of doing as i personally think that my mother and father are the most precious, most sacred and most valuable relationship that one would ever have in life;
~ Islam rewards sinners, kill another human who doesnot agree with Muhammad, get 62 virgins. Islam is a religion that rewards man at every nuke and cranny and treats women like a commodity WITH ADVANTAGE MAN ALL THE WAY FROM MULTIPLE WIVES TO FREE VIRGINS AFTER YOUR DEAD, SO WHY WILL MEN NOT FOLLOW THIS.
~ ISLAM AND ITS FOLLOWING ALONG WITH CURRENT BREED OF POLITICIANS IS REFLECTIVE OF HUMANITY’S PRESENT COLLECTIVE ETHOS WHICH UNFORTUNATELY IS ROTTING AT THE ROOTS. IF CHANGE SHOULD HAPPEN THEN THIS TREE MUST DIE A NATURAL DEATH WHICH IT EVENTUALLY WILL AND WILL TAKE WITH IT ALL WHO CLING TO IT OR DEPEND ON IT.
THIS IS KALIYUGA PER THE HINDU BELIEF SYSTEM. THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE BEFORE THEY GET BETTER.
Karen says
This shows the power of ISIS and radical Islam; that it can defeat the strongest and most basic bond for most people in the world; that of mother and child.
Like many hideous and gruesome things, there is some dark humor somewhere in there; this person can now plead for mercy on the basis of being an orphan. (Apologies.) Might come in handy if he decides to take his mother’s advice and become a refugee.
John C. Barile says
Your dark humor is perfectly in order. This man is first a fanatic, secondly a killer, and finally a coward.
steph says
she was your mother she wanted to protect you, she gave birth to you , you people have no heart no feelings , whyr you walking this earth, hope you die soon you pig,
Xero_G says
Perhaps “mother” under Sharia Law, loses some of its importance when your father can “own” up to four wives. And since females are described in Koran as having inferior intelligence, and are victims of institutional discrimination across the board, how could this young Jihadist view his mother in the same way as those in the rest of the civilized world? What does it say for a society that permits killing your mother but forbids mishandling in any way, a Koran?
Matthieu Baudin says
“…You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred…(Qur’an 58:22)
..O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you – then it is those who are the wrongdoers…” (Qur’an 9:23)
Yes, I remember reading these passages and the chill that ran through my bones. Traditional Islam represents a fully fledged cult that takes over everything of value in a human beings existence. Loyalty and respect to Parents, sanctuary for children, self restraint and moral judgement in sexual relations; all are placed before the alter of Islamic Submission.
JUDAEOGLADIATOR says
Son your dinner is ready.
Mark says
Please view share and give a thumbs up to the following documentary, https://youtu.be/t_Qpy0mXg8Y. This would be good for people with any sympathy for Islam.
ECAW says
“Why we are afraid, a 1400 year old secret”. As I remember Dr Warner is referring to a group memory of Muslim slaving attacks on the coasts of Europe.
I don’t believe this for a minute. Unlike Dr Warner I grew up not far from one of the affected coastlines and never heard a word about it. I’m sure that 99 people out of 100 would have no idea about it. Even if such knowledge had survived more than a few generations, surely it would have done so only for a minute percentage of Europeans, those on a few exposed coastlines.
