Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Can I criticize Islam without fearing for my life?”

Feb 26, 2017 6:27 pm By Robert Spencer

The answer is, in fact, no. We may surmise this from how Islamic tradition records Muhammad himself dealing with criticism. Abu Afak was a poet who was over one hundred years old, and had mocked Muhammad in his verses. Muhammad asked the Sahaba: “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” One of the companions murdered Abu Afak in his sleep. Likewise with another poet who mocked him: the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of Muhammad’s companions, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)

Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad again asked his companions: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Sahaba, Muhammad bin Maslama answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Bukhari 5.59.369)

Meanwhile, “a member of the mosque congregation said to Sandra that she is free to choose her faith emphasizing that her problem is not with Islam but with the Saudi regime.”

That is not true. In reality, the death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

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.”

“‘Can I criticize Islam without fearing for my life?,'” CIJ News, February 26, 2017:

A week after she protested against the “Islamization” of Canada outside of Masjid Toronto Mosque, Sandra Solomon, an ex-Muslim who became a human rights activist, took advantage of the mosque’s open house on Saturday, February 25, 2017 to deliver a direct message to the Imam Ahmed Shihab and the Muslim community.

Police are investigating possible hate crimes by the protesters who called for banning Islam and an imam at the mosque who recited supplications for the annihilation of the enemies of Islam and purification of al-Aqsa Mosque from the “filth of Jews.”

The following is the message that Sandra Solomon read in Masjid Toronto Mosque (February 25, 2017):

My name is Sandra Solomon. I am an ex Muslim who lived in the Saudi Arabian society governed by 100% Sharia law.

I suffered a lot in Saudi Arabia from the teachings of Islam because of the lack of women rights.

I was neglected, ignored and forbidden to sharing my thoughts on Islam to the point where I was always under risk of being murdered by honor killing from my brother, who attempted to kill me just because I refused to wear the hijab [head scarf].

They forced me into a marriage. Islamic forced marriage is nothing less than institutionalized rape. Do not dare to think otherwise.

I took my child and escaped Saudi Arabia because of the imminent threat of my execution for not following Islamic Sharia [Islamic Law] without question and came to Canada for its freedom.

I came to Canada to live under secular and Constitution Democratic system of law. A law that respects me as a free human being that has the right to live and think and be critical of anyone and anything without living in fear for my life and my child’s life .That is why I am in Canada. I am a subject of Canadian law. Not Sharia [Islamic] law.

I am a victim of Islam and it is my duty to warn others of its true nature. But unfortunately Sharia law is not leaving me. I was surprised when I found that it has followed us here to Canada. There are three Canadian imams on Canadian soil calling for my execution. Their names are, Shahryar Shiakh [“Punishment for apostasy is death”], Ahmad Abdul Qader Kandil [who said that enemies of Islam to be killed, crucified or their limbs cut off] and Said Rageah [who said that person who insults Mohammad may face execution in Islamic State]. All three of them in Canada are openly calling for my execution. Relying solely on the teaching of Quran and Hadith plus the book called human right in Islam distributed at Dundas square [“Islamic Shari’ah decrees execution for the person who apostatizes”]. [For more information on “Quebec, Ontario imams say apostates to be executed by The Islamic State” click HERE].

Ladies and gentlemen, criticism of an ideology and political authority is the most important aspect of free democracy. And for this, the imams all call for my death they do so on the Islamic grounds that I speak truths about Islam, its founder, Mohammad, and that I no longer accept the Islamic ideology, all of which are death penalty crimes under Islamic law, and which Islamic States like Iran, Saudi Arabia, The Islamic State, Afghanistan, Pakistan and dozens of more convict and execute. We see it here in Canada when Muslim girls refuse the hijab like the Shafia girls.

I am standing here in your mosque today, asking for you to show me the tolerance you ask of all Canadians. To accept me for whom I am and the free choices I made to be something other than Muslim. My God, is a God of love and mercy. I offer it to you, and ask you for it in return .My criticism of Islam are [sic] of the ideology, the teachings and scriptures. Not any individual Muslim. Criticizing ideology is not just legal in Canada; it’s the foundation of democracy. Whether it is a religious authority, or political, no person, book, or ideas are above criticism and scrutiny….

I have concern about my life and I would love to get an answer from you Muslims to tell me: Am I going to be killed, or my child is going to be killed or harmed by anyway for me openly criticizing Islam? I want to be comforted.

A member of the mosque congregation said to Sandra that she is free to choose her faith emphasizing that her problem is not with Islam but with the Saudi regime.

    Thanks to the Internet, muslims can now read the first biography of Muhammad, by the devout muslim Ibn Ishaq (not an “Islamophobe”):

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Ishaq

    If you read the biography, you will understand why so-called “extremists” do what they do (they are copying Muhammad), and why so many muslims are leaving Islam now they are finding out the truth. I have now finished my own personal reading, and can pinpoint the following events with page references:

    Muhammad orders his son-in-law Ali, to behead Al-Nadr bin al-Harith on page 136.
    Muhammad approves the stabbing of Uqba bin Abu Muayt on page 308.
    Muhammad arranges the beheading of Kab bin al-Ashraf on page 364-9.

    Muhammad personally beheads over 600 Jewish prisoners of war on page 494
    Muhammad orders the torturing of treasurer of Khaybar tribe, Kinana on page 515
    Muhammad orders the killing of Abdullah bin Katal’s and one of his singing-girls on page 550-1
    Muhammad approves the murder of Asma bint Marwan on page 675-6.
    Muhammad arranges the assassination of the old man Abu Afak on page 675.
    Muhammad approves the murder of an old one-eyed Bedouin man, by Amr bin Umayya, one of his Jihadist thugs on page 674-5.

    You can read the book here:

    http://www.justislam.co.uk/images/Ibn%20Ishaq%20-%20Sirat%20Rasul%20Allah.pdf

    Please go online, and ask muslims to read the biography (most muslims only know what their parents have told them). .

    “A member of the mosque congregation said to Sandra that she is free to choose her faith emphasizing that her problem is not with Islam but with the Saudi regime.”

    That “member of the mosque” lied for Allah – it’s called Taqjjia, that’s what ‘good’ muslims do for Allah, they lie for him/it, they practice paedophilia for him/it, emulating mohamed and his Aisha, they invade countries for him/it, they preach hatred against Jews, Christians and ALL non-muslims for him/it and, of course the kill/murder/massacre/bomb for him/it.

    This Sandra Solomon is absolutely brave – and creative with it: is that a Jewish Prayer shawl she is wearing on her head ? GOOD FOR HER !!!

    • rubiconcrest says

          Yes, but like they say in scandinavia; They can’t help it, they can’t be held responsible for their actions. Very racist but oh so politically correct. They just need a hug and everything they ask for, than everything will be okey. As long as we keep our heads down and continue loving them no matter what they say ore do we can wish theyr doctrines away. But the sad truth is in reality it is the complete opposite. Its like when Emperor Nero went completely mad. “No matter what I do there are no consequences, I must be a god”. Many cannot believe its western generosity, rather the vest has ben given unto their hands to dominate. How can someone be expected to understand that the people of the West are bye the christian tradition forgiving, patient and highly generous people, while believing “it´s the most vile of all creation” as the generous quran claims. To satan love is disgusting. Has everyone forgotten about tough love.

        It is like a loaded pistol on the coffee table. It can sit there
        for a thousand years and if no Human ever picks it up it will never be blamed for a Homicide.
        The ” MOSQUE” sits, like the pistol, and does nothing until a Imam steps into it and “Calls to Jihad”. Don’t be in a hurry to let the Mosque off. The Mosque is the designated refuge of the Mujahideen(sp), Jihadists They may train, arm and prepare for militant Jihad at the Mosque.
        After attacks they may return to the Mosque to rest, re-arm, heal, and prepare for the next attack.

        Bless you, Sandra.

        Welcome to Jihadwatch.

        We hope that you will come here often and join in the discussion. It is very important for new – non-Muslim – visitors here, to be able to hear from people like you who have lived in the places where Islam is strictly followed, and can testify to what that is like.

        I am so very glad you were able to escape from the House of Islam, and find your way to a country that is still (relatively) free.

        Now your task is difficult: to try to *wake up* those in Canada who have been deceived, or who simply don’t know about Islam’s blasphemy law, and its apostasy law. Those who can’t or won’t believe that people like you are in danger, **in Canada**.

        Do you know of the website “Point de Bascule”? If you don’t, look them up: I think they would be interested in publishing your story.

        You could also get in touch with Ryan Bellerose, a Native Canadian man who knows exactly what the Sharia is, and knows that he does not want it in Canada.

        http://ryanmbellerose.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/sharia-law-oh-hell-no.html

        You might be able to help Ryan ‘wake up’ and warn the Native Canadians (First Nations) who are being targeted by Muslim dawa. Also: he is a big bloke who has stood up to bullies, more than once. He might be able to give you good advice about how to stay safe and defend yourself from the sharia assassins.

        Final thought: your *next* protest should not be in a mosque; it should be *outside the Parliament of Canada*. Canadian politicians need to be told about the apostasy and blasphemy laws of Islam. They need to be told the facts over and over – by people like you, who are *personally in danger*, IN CANADA, because of those Islamic rules – until at least some of them understand that this stuff is *real* and the danger is *real*.

          Waking up Canadians will be difficult, indeed. I’m an American who worked for an international company with facilities in both the U.S. and Canada. During the 9 years that I was there I worked with many Canadians. The overwhelming majority of them said the following, with a naive, childlike innocence, “My government is trustworthy, they’d never do anything to harm me”. There were very few who shared the American skepticism and distrust of government.

          Feb 27, 2017 at 8:40 pm

          I’m a dude. If I ever find myself in an anti islamophobia march, I’d hope I remembered to wear a big “in yo’ face” hajab and be carrying a large picket sign quoting the Koran Chapter 33, Verse 59: That’s the one that tells Mo’s followers they can signal other Mo’s followers their wives and daughters, are off limits to abuse as signaled by covering themselves with their outer garments. The hajab is clearly a signal to go find yourself some unsuspecting Kaffir woman to abuse; I’m off limits to abuse; I get mine at home.

          Sorry, but I find it halal-arious that Western Judea/Christian women and girls would accept the hajab in their midst when it means the wearer is separate and off limits from abuse with respect to all women and girls where the non-wearer is by default the acceptable target of Islamic abuse.

          The hajab is a major insult to all women everywhere. How is it not obvious?

Without islam, the barbarism of the evil code set forth by the saudi government wouldn’t exist….it is islam, islam is the problem.

    Inverse proportionality on display here again where Islam is concerned, specifically the more Islam you have the less freedom you have (and, conversely, the less Islam you have, all other things being equal, the more freedom you have).

    This axiom (and yes, it is an axiom and not just a hypothesis) is demonstrative of just how inimical Islam truly is across the board. Oh, there are many other inimical (and stupid) things about Islam, for instance its decided parasitic tendency to take credit for most everything (e.g., Noah was a Muslim, Abraham was a Muslim, Moses was a Muslim, Jesus was a Muslim, blah, blah, blah); its virtually pathological inclination to claim victim status, that is to say to declare ad nauseam a pity party for itself which it does with great regularity; its COMPLETE inability to apologize for its past wrongdoings, which are, to put it mildly, considerable; its opposition to pictorial art; its opposition to music in general; and its hatred for fine beer (for me this is where it gets up front and personal like).

    BUT, where Islam can most be faulted, by far, is on the freedom front, whereby IN THIS WORLD it seeks not only to state what its considers theological truths, as is the wont and prerogative of every religion, but to insure such “truths” are upheld by its deluded devotees IN THIS WORLD, by force if necessary (and it is so often necessary per Muslimthink).

    Most every religion threatens something in the next world if one does not believe or do this, that or the other thing, but Islam is alone among the major religions of the world in its theological blueprint of a dual threat——-punishment in this world by its followers and punishment in the next world by Mo’s hand puppet, Allah. Double whammy to be sure. The ultimate double whammy to be sure.

    Sandra Solomon is courageous, truly courageous. As an American, it is possible for other Americans and I to lose sight of the precious gift of freedom, until Sandra reminds all of us about the precious gift.
    I hope PM Trudeau regards the concerns of the many refugee Muslims he has elected to bring into Canada. That part of the issue is most commendable, but hopefully those of them who decide to not only take to heart Canadian freedoms, but to elect to follow other freely chosen faiths, as they reconstruct their lives, should be under the protection of the Canadian government the same as the responsible national government in Ottawa protects the freedoms of all law-abiding Canadians.

    …………………………

    Sandra Solomon is a brave woman, and the answer should be yes in civilized Canada–but clearly, it is not.

    More:

    A member of the mosque congregation said to Sandra that she is free to choose her faith emphasizing that her problem is not with Islam but with the Saudi regime.
    …………………………

    What crap. Were this true, she would not be threatened by Imams in Canada.

    And what about those “hate crime” laws? How can it be legal to cal for the murder of apostates? (note: this is a rhetorical question. I know Muslims, despite their violence, are seldom or never charged with using hate speech. Those who dare criticize the violence of Islam are, though).

  15. David says

    Feb 26, 2017 at 11:32 pm

    Freedom of thinking with criticism is a God given brith right! Islam is the temple of Satan! Satan will use all and any means to bring down thinking. Jesus gave himself up on the cross for all who would believe! And said it is finished.

    Yes, her life will be in more danger but all of our lives are in danger every day. It is not how you die but how you live that is important. Never surrender and if you must, die fighting against islam. There is no other choice.

    I know that I can openly criticize any political or religious ideology … except Islam. I can criticize savage capitalism, communism, Nazism, Zionism, ultra Catholicism and evangelism …. but I should never criticize Islam because I face death. In Muslim-majority countries politicians know this, they can not question certain things because they would be accused of heresy and sooner or later they would be killed. That is the truth of Islam.
    Not only in Saudi Arabia … does anyone really believe that it is normal that in a country like Morocco 99.8% of the population is Muslim? Does not meet the minimum statistical logic … is a repressive, confessional … theocratic country.

      just an aside Eur. In the last 5 weeks 3 ” Moroccan ” restaurants have opened in the town I live in. Seems that after 800 years of having the Muslim boot on their throats, the Spanish still haven’t learned their lesson.

    “I am a victim of Islam”

    Where, from whence, and when will we have a leader who has the courage and the wisdom to admit, Islam, as the regard-worthy Islamic works provided it, as the alleged “prophet of Islam” lived it, must be opposed by all unwilling to live under its dictates?

    When we find and are blessed with such a leader, he or she will then declare safe zones we will fight for and defend for all prisoners to and victims of Islam who wish and pray to longer be so.

    Compare and contrast the courage and integrity of Sandra Solomon with the cowardice and duplicity of Justin Trudeau.

    “Can I criticize Islam without fearing for my life?” Short Answer: ‘No’. Long Answer “NNNNOOOOO”.

    I am slowly but surely beginning to really believe that Mohamedism is truly a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”: Arab Supremacist Colonialism masquerading as a “divine Abrahamic religion of peace”. Very dangerous. And naive peace-loving North Americans and Europeans are being deceived lock, stock and barrel. As Mohammed said: “War is deceit,” and those are the two pillars of Mohamedism: war and deceit. We must continue to correct people at every opportunity: Mohammedism is a deceitful cover for Arab Imperialism, Colonialism and Racism.

    I so agree with all those comments who praise Sandra Solomon for her action and courage.

    For one thing she offers a great mirror to Muslims when she asks them if they can show the tolerance to her that the Canadians give to them.

    I am so glad that more and more Muslims leave Islam as Peter Buckley mentioned. Often I wonder how Muslims get to the tough decision of apostasy. What is the decisive factor?! Is it because they consider Islam untrue? (this SHOULD be the decisive factor in my view). Or is it that Islam has given them very bad experiences, compared with the experiences of non-Muslims? Or is it because Muslims have found something like another religion, or comprehensice ideology with which they REPLACED Islam? Or some other reason? Or a combination?

    Ex-Muslims and people who know Islam often well can logically articulate
    A. What is so very disappointing in Islam itself, including it’s lies, and how it works out globally, and on aggregate of good and bad consequences. And
    B. With what they do REPLACE ISLAM WITH.

    for instance; – Can there be better rolemodels than Mohammed?
    – can there be a comprehensive text/ document collection that replace Quran-Hadiths-Sira as Most Important Guiding Texts?
    – Can those Most Imp.Guide consist of manmade, clear, updatable “verses”, in contrast to the mess that Quran-Hadith-Sira are (while it is forbidden to update them)
    – Can the alternative ideology to Islam, Positive Alternative To Islam (PATI), point out that
    IT leaves it’s members free to apostasize according to IT’s Most Important Guiding Texts.
    – can the women of PATI wear a distinct cloth, that emphasizes their membership, in clear competition with the damned headscarf?

    Such a Islam-replacement-movement in the future, by ex-Muslims and many Islamorealists, who can retain as much Islamic folklore as they wish, is my dream, whereas I do n’t believe in any reform of Islam itself at all.

      There is an ex-Muslim who lives the Pacific NW who went to Idaho to talk to the community there last summer (after the assault of the 5-year old). I believe the DOJ shut him down however.

      So many North Americans believe this Mohammeden terror just can’t happen in our free societies so they are blind to the inroads it is making.

      I hope many hear Sandra and as they must realize that she is freedom loving that they start to question the assumptions they have been making.

    SANDRA SOLOMON KNOWS THE ANSWER TO HER QUESTION: “No, you will certainly fear for your life if you criticize Islam”, because Sharia law permits ANYONE to kill a blasphemer without punishment.

    Sharia permits the murder of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
    “There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

      Then we will pray for Sandra Solomon.

      “He will cover you with his feathers,
      and under his wings you will find refuge;
      his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”

    Sandra you are very brave and you are brilliant. Keep up the good work. As an atheist I’m not going to pray for you but I do send my very best thoughts and best wishes.

    Many thanks Sandra for your bravery and courage for standing up to these beasts of islam. I come from a Judeo-Christian background and was born in an Islamic country and lived 30 years of my life in that country before I immigrated to Canada – the land of the free.

    I have been very vocal about islam and I have been speaking out against islam on my Face Book page. I have faced debates online from muslims from all over and I have been successful in shutting them up.

    You have my strongest support in your quest

    Islam is simply a Mafia-like gang mentality created by a brazen criminal to appeal to other criminals. It’s emphasis is on absolute loyalty to it’s leader and to the rest of the criminal “family”, enforced by threats of murder for criticism or disloyalty.

    That an ex-Muslim can be openly threatened with death on Canadian soil makes the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Human Rights Commission collaborators and enablers of the Islamic Mafia.

  28. Carolyne says

    Feb 27, 2017 at 1:05 pm

    Sandra Solomon, you are truly a brave woman. For a woman to face these hostile cretins and say what you said take immense courage and fortitude. I hope you have not forfeited your life by doing so, but since Canada is in the process of outlawing words such as you spoke, perhaps you should come south where we still have the First Amendment and you can say what you wish. You are the kind of Middle Easterner we would welcome with open arms.

    Feb 27, 2017 at 1:40 pm

    A member of the mosque congregation said to Sandra that she is free to choose her faith emphasizing that her problem is not with Islam but with the Saudi regime.

    In other words: islamic orthodoxy has nothing to do with islam and anything wrong derived from it is the fault of whoever is implementing it… Here’s how she started her speech:

    My name is Sandra Solomon. I am an ex Muslim who lived in the Saudi Arabian society governed by 100% Sharia law.

    I suffered a lot in Saudi Arabia from the teachings of Islam because of the lack of women rights.

    She made it quite clear that the Saudi regime is simply following islamic law. Saying that the problem is not with islam itself but with the Saudi regime, who merely enforces it, is a piss-poor deflection that makes no sense in the context of what was said so far. The only way to make sense of it was to rebut Mrs. Solomon’s claims about the Saudi regime being 100% islamic and show how the rules they enforce are not based in islamic orthodoxy. Which the member didn’t do. They also didn’t epxlain why other islamic countries, like, for example, shiite Iran, have the same punishments for the same crimes. Coincidence?

    According to Sharia Law the penalty for questioning anything their prophet ordered is death.http://www.billionbibles.org/sharia/sharia-law.html
