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.”
“Female Christian refugee murdered by Afghan compatriot in Bavaria,” RT, May 3, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Bavarian police are trying to establish the motive behind the murder of an Afghan woman who sought refuge in Germany and has reportedly converted to Christianity. The attacker, also an Afghan asylum seeker, stabbed the woman to death in front of her children.
The 38-year-old woman was attacked by the 29-year-old man not far from a supermarket in the Bavarian town of Prien am Chiemsee on Saturday. The German tabloid Bild has alleged that the woman attended a Christian church service, citing the victim’s sister.
The attack took place in front of the woman’s two children, aged five and 11. Before the assault, the man reportedly shouted something in his mother tongue to the woman.
The man kept on stabbing his victim until a duty policeman and several passersby dragged him aside. He has been temporarily sent to a closed psychiatric institution.
The woman later died in the hospital from her injuries.
Authorities have ordered an autopsy of the victim. However, it may take up to several weeks to get the results, police spokesman Andreas Guske said, according to local news outlet Chiemgau24.
“The investigators’ office has issued a special order [for that],” Guske said.
The man is an asylum seeker who arrived in Germany a few years ago, a police officer told Focus Online….
“In the event of a killing offense, each word must be translated by a certified interpreter, so that it can be regarded as a strong proof,” Guske added.
“For us, only facts count. But there is evidence of a religious motive for the deed we are pursuing. But this is only one of the versions we can follow,” the police source told Focus….
Investigators are sure that the two people knew each other since “Prien is a village, and one can assume that asylum seekers of one nationality must know each other.”
Bild meanwhile reported, citing family members, that the attack might have been triggered by the fact that the woman had converted to Christianity several years ago. According to Focus Online, the attacker had even made death threats in relation to the woman’s religious choice.

SHARIA DEATH SENTENCE FOR APOSTASY … NORMATIVE ISLAM…RATHER THAN ‘INSANITY’
— According to Baidhawi’s commentary, Sura 4: 88-89 reads: “Whosoever turns back from his belief, openly or secretly, take him and kill him wheresoever ye find him, like any other infidel. Separate yourself from him altogether. Do not accept intercession in his regard.”
— The hadiths tell of some atheists who were brought to Ali “… and he burnt them. The news of this reached Ibn Abbas who said: ‘If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostate forbade it . . . I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s apostle, ‘Whoever changed his [Islamic] religion, then kill him’.”
— Hadith: a special reward in Islamic paradise is reserved for the killer of apostates
–Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned Muslim cleric of Egypt 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 said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

Yes, “a special reward in Islamic paradise is reserved for the killer of apostates”, but what they don’t realize is the ‘reward’ is burning for all eternity in hell with huge hideous demons torturing them in ways they can’t even imagine. The poor woman. She is in heaven now and I hope her children become strong Christians after they have seen how evil Islam truly is.

Amen. Well said.

I wish you guys knew Prien: picture perfect Bavarian town in a stunning setting. islam destroys anything it touches.

Yes, it does. And few places are free from its evil influence now.
Irene Brekelmans says
The psychiatric institutions must get really crowded, and they are standing in the queu to commit more atrocities, not getting punished and on the tax payers money.
Germans you are doing it again to the rest of Europe, thank you so much.
My compliments for Robert Spencer, I watched a few of the so called debates, and it amazes me how respectful he stays and how calm (if he gets the chance to even speak). And then the students of today,, no hope for them and us in the future, but most of them are are people of the peaceful religion anyway now days.

She should be tried as an accomplice before and after numerous murders, and given the maximum sentence if found guilty.
But her fellow globalist controllers will protect her from that.

Germany: Muslim migrant murders convert from Islam to Christianity in front of her children
…………………………
This poor woman–these poor kids. This is normative Islam.
And will the children now be sent to live with Muslim relatives?
Rick Grimes says
Islam is like the Eagles’ Hotel California – “you can check out any time you like…but you can NEVER leave”
Eric Jones says
My heart goes out to those children who watched as their mother was murdered. May the pooor women rest in peace. May those children find enough strength and healing to be able to have good lives in spite of this experience.

Jeanette says
They will never be able to have good lives. They will be haunted day and night by the vision of their mother being murdered, and by their inability to stop the murder.
They will not be able to enjoy any pleasant event, as that vision of their mother will always be surfacing into their conscious minds.
If I were one of them, I’d be very tempted to “look up” that murderer after I became an adult.
Jeanette says
They could also claim that they say the murderer in the company of an unrelated man, and let the murderer’s fellow Muslims take care of her in that special way of theirs.
dumbledoresarmy says
If she was indeed an apostate from Islam, then at least she died as a **free woman**, no longer enslaved to the hideous murder-‘god’ that is ‘allah’. She must have been both very smart, and very brave, and blessed by grace, to shake off the Islam-program and discover something new, beautiful and different; a God of love and freedom. Let her be counted in honour among the Martyrs and Confessors of the Afghan – and of the German – Church.
It would have been even better, of course, had she been able to seek – and receive – adequate protection from the German infidel authorities, so that she might live and practise her new faith freely – and publicly! – in a non-Muslim country, and raise her *children* as free people.
Rolf Wittwer says
Our Western civilization unfortunately must take note, that
-Islam offers and is contributing nothing for the benefit of real humanity.
-Instead of an urgent reformation it only offers sick fanaticism, endless violence, total ignorance and extreme dangerous backward orientated intolerance.

I haven’t noticed this news item being picked up by other mainstream media. I guess “Muslim killing Christian convert” falls into the Islamophobic danger zone.
Jaladhi says
This is real Islam – pure evil!! Islam survives only by force, threats, intimidation, and then rape and murder! And Muslims call it a religion. How can anyone following this religion be good?? Not possible!
Michael says
sure Islam makes someone crazy. in a literal sense. to be raised with hatred and violence, to see it everywhere, to experience it — brutality without limits, without reason, without thinking — there is no ‘mind’ or heart in Islam.
to be raised in such a way, would destroy the mind of most. they are ‘crazy.’ whatever the highest parts of being human, they are crushed completely in Islam. The truly human spirit, the human heart, is destroyed, completely, by design in Islam.
No questions allowed. No critical thinking. No reasoning. And no feeling allowed.
Are they mentally ill? Insane. I would say yes. And it is what Islam does: it crushes any humanness, out of those who would otherwise by human. Very sad. Very, very, very dangerous.

Several weeks? Despicable burocratic dithering. Always banking on the citizenry being first stunned, then forgetful, but never outraged to any real purpose.
Absolutely despicable.
