A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”
Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”
“Imam Arrested in Killing of Christian Convert in Eastern Uganda,” Morning Star News, February 10, 2016:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – An imam who threatened a convert from Islam in eastern Uganda has been arrested in connection with the killing of the 28-year-old Christian, sources said.
Laurence Maiso’s body was found at his house, his head in a pool of blood, on Jan. 27 at around 5 p.m. in Numuseru village, Naboa Sub-County in Budaka District.
Four days earlier, Imam Kamulali Hussein had met him and his wife on a local road. According to Maiso’s wife, the imam told him, “You have refused to join us. Do you know that Allah does not want us to have a kafir [infidel] neighbor? And you should know that Allah is about to send to you the Angel of Death in your house. Please prepare to meet him at any time.”
Hussein departed. Four days later, Maiso’s wife went to see a friend in nearby Lupada village. She returned to find her husband dead on the floor. Her cries brought several neighbors to the house.
Police rushed to the site, and the next day they arrested Hussein, well-known in the area and dubbed “the malaria of Christianity,” at Nampangalle village. The case is registered at Naboa police post with a reference number of CRB Ref: 28/2016….

At first glance things like murdering apostates to Islam, Muslim rape gangs, Islamic santioned FGM and a luandry list of other crimes against common human decency might appear to be very dispicable to the ‘unenlightened’ but as it turns out, the god figure of Islam just so happens to approve of such vile filth.
Muhammad said so.

Al Azhar University has approved the murder of apostates by anyone, with or without an official fatwa.

I think I’ve heard of another muslim with an African origin named Hussein, who could also be described as : ” the Ebola of Christians” because he hates Christians so much , that he actually” Disguises” himself as a Christian ; in order to carry out their extermination more quickly and cost effective . This Pogram appears to have worked very effectively in Iraq and Syria ! And also seems to be taking off very well in Caliph Hussein Obama’s Beloved Indonesia : Where in fact he Began His Long Struggle , as a hater of the U.S. , Israel , and especially the followers of The Prophet Jesus (who Mistakenly call him Lord and Savior) . This he no doubt learned from memorizing The koran and from the Imams who probably molested him when they were bored of THEIR PRE PUBESCENT WIVES .
Jay Boo says
Muslim do not have religion.
All they have is Muhammad’s pathetic excuse.
This is why carpet kissing Muslims turn against all others and eventually each other.
To hide Muhammad’s disgrace, the have no shame.
Muslims continue to shovel Islam’s SH-T against the tide of truth but the unstoppable force of entropy reveals that Islam is not a religion, but merely a grave.
Gary says
Now why would Muhammad give a command to kill anyone who changes his Islamic religion? (i.e. No longer believes the lie)
Because his father, (Satan: The father of all lies), wants to keep everyone from the truth about our Heavenly Father…..
Our Heavenly Father cares and is intimately involved in our lives. (Whether we care to see it our not.)
“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head. This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there. If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, your strength will support me. If I try to hide in the darkness, the night becomes light around me. For even darkness cannot hide from God; to you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it. You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book! How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me! Surely you will slay the wicked, Lord! Away, bloodthirsty men! Begone! They blaspheme your name and stand in arrogance against you—how silly can they be? O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I be grieved with them? Yes, I hate them, for your enemies are my enemies too.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test my thoughts. Point out anything you find in me that makes you sad, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” (Psalm 139)

1 — Muhammad claimed he did not even know whether or not he would enter Paradise.
2 — Muhammad did not foresee that his captive sex-slave bride whose family he brutally murdered might choose to poison his food taking his life eating through his aorta. Well Duh!!!, MO
3 — Muhammad actually took back some supposed revelations claiming that the devil ‘tricked’ him.
Yet Muhammad claimed to be a prophet — (What an evil buffoon)
Gary says
What else could we expect from someone who followed the Father of all lies.
I’ll be more specific regarding this “Evil buffoon”
He is a perfect example of what Jesus claimed regarding the Pharisees….
“The blind leading the blind.”
Muslims, like the rest of us, are lost without Jesus.
mortimer says
Mullah’s are the guardians of Islam and generally send or lead other Muslims to kill apostates and blasphemers. They are leaders in normative Islamic vigilantism.
Islam’s vigilantism is the greatest contradiction of the Golden Rule that can be. Vigilantism deprives ‘others’ of the right to follow their consciences. Muslims have a duty to ‘command the right and forbid the wrong’ and they are entitled to change what is wrong ‘with their hands’. Muslims do not need permission from anyone to enforce discriminatory Sharia by vigilantism, up to and including murder of apostates and blasphemers. Indeed, the vigilantes will be considered heroes of Islam for defending Islamic principles by making Sharia law superior to national, secular laws.
Islam’s vigilantism is not an aberration, but normative Islam approved by Islam’s top religious authority, the fatwa department of Al Azhar University. They have said, ‘If the state does not execute an apostate, then someone else has to do it.’
Jay Boo says
Good information but, with a very poor presentation.
Islam is not — fair
Well fine, but that is a very weak counter against Islam.
Your fence-walking criticism of Islam drifts into borderline proselytizing from the Muslim point of view with such stupid phases as:
“Muslims do not need permission from anyone to enforce discriminatory Sharia by vigilantism”
Even Hillary can deliver the Muslim point of view.
Jay Boo says
Wrong Mortimer
Muslims have no DUTY other than a fictitious duty as an excuse to be depraved.
Remember Muhammad made Islam not as a religion but as a shameless excuse for Islamic depravity for anyone so lowly as to call themselves the dirty filthy name of — Muslim.
Carole Kotkiewicz says
As a Christian, commanded to love God with all my heart, and love my neighbor as I love myself, I find Islam as one of the most deplorable and hate filled religions in existence. It does nothing for humanity except cause strife, misery, and murder.
Westman says
Islam seems to thrive where there is little progress and it reminded me of Parkinson’s Law – “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion”.
I could be wrong, however, it appears that Islam was born in and takes over a society in which secular life is meaningless; with few options for improvement. It made itself the reason for living and is therefore threatened by, and stops, both other religion and secular progress that validates another route for improvement in economy and social structure. Killing Apostates and Infidels keeps the circular stagnation intact.
As we’ve all read, Winston Churchill was appalled by this lack of industry in Islam.
The Islamic version of Parkinson’s Law would be “Islam expands so as to absorb the time available for life”.
African Infidel says
Ugandans need to learn from the good people of CAR who rid themselves off the curse of islamic jihad and evil. Only Christian vigilantes can protect Christians from islamic killers.
Angemon says
I suspect we won’t see Obama saying that if he a son, he would look like Laurence Maiso.
Don Kleim says
There is certainly no danger of this religion going away any time soon. They have a steady stream of new “recruits” as children who are born into a Muslim family are Muslims and can never leave Islam under penalty of death. Millions are brainwashed from birth and, in many third world countries, have virtually no access to western values during their formative years. We see the results today. Islam is a vile ideology and is the greatest threat to the people of world today.
