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

Muslim mother has her son beaten nearly to death, burned with cigarettes, for converting to Christianity

Sep 28, 2018 2:40 pm By Robert Spencer

This is not “extremist”: 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.”

“Christian Man Beaten Nearly to Death, Body Burned on His Muslim Mother’s Orders for Choosing Jesus,” by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, September 27, 2018:

A Muslim woman in a Middle Eastern country ordered that her son be beaten nearly to death because he converted to Christianity.

Christian Aid Mission, which supports ministries around the world that are helping believers in dangerous places, recently reported that Abdel, as the young man is called (not his real name), has remained committed to his faith despite the attacks on his life.

Abdel’s mother was distraught when she learned that he had decided to leave Islam and convert to Christianity, even though he knew he would be shunned by his family.

He had been unable to find work in his home country (also not named) and had been relying on his parents to pay for his apartment and other living expenses. Following his conversion, his mother came to him with a checkbook in one hand, and a burial linen shroud in the other.

“You must choose between the two,” his mother told him.

Despite knowing that his mother was capable of anything, the young Christian replied: “I want to live for Christ and die for Him, no matter what the price will be.”

His mother left, warning that he will “pay the price” for his decision. Abdel was kidnapped by a Muslim gang two months later and beaten nearly to the point of death, with cigarettes burned to his body.

Though Abdel survived, he has been subjected to further financial difficulties from his mother, who has sent people to collect money from him that he says he doesn’t owe….

      This story may well be entirely accurate. But, sorry, one requires more factual, evidential foundations for it, than are presented here. The country, at the very least, might have been identified.

        perhaps, if the country had been identified, the permission granted Christian Aid to work in the country, likely would have been pulled. some governments don’t appreciate criticism.

      If Islam a religion then what is Satanism? If Mohammad was a prophet the Hitler was also a prophet. Because Hitler was a founder of Nazism.

      I may be a plumb-dumb individual …but…to me the death penalty for apostates in Islam (along with so many other atrocious acts in Islam) SHOULD BE ENOUGH to bring Islam into our courts or congressional inquiries…but …no one seems to be interested in really investigating.
      No one “wants to offend”..well I’m offended because no one wants to get involved and Islam continue to thrive with all its fallacies.
      Just because we don’t see a lot of Muslims here in the U.S. following all the Islamic laws don’t mean that given free rein they wouldn’t follow all the Islamic laws openly and DEMAND that ALL do the same.

    The son refused to submit to the religion of Submission. Living under the rules of Submission or death are the only choices offered by Allah to EVERYONE …. with no exceptions. Good Muslims are the hands of Allah and a Muslim mother’s hands must sometimes have blood upon them …. even of her own child.

    This woman is a brainwashed monster. Why is a religion more important than her own child? And islam is evil.

    This might explain such wicked,typically islamic,behavior.

    According to allah the champion deceiver’s[k3;54] “holy” book,the koran,you can dishonor your parents and disown your own family members in islam.

    “Oh ye who believe!Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take
    pleasure in disbelief rather than faith.whoso of you taketh them for friends,such are wrong doers”
    koran 9 v 23

    So if a member of your family abandons islam you can turn your back on them.
    Appaling and inhumane!

    There’s none of that “Honor thy parents”[5th commandment] mullarkey for allah is there?

    Or..love thy neighbor…or any of those essential commandments of God that neither allah nor his preciously “perfect muslims bother with..

    islam,according to allah the champion deceiver god,is the “perfected” religion [koran 5:3]

    “Perfect”…. in the way that the number 13 is a “perfect” square or a 6 sided Hexagon is a “perfect” circle perhaps….”perfect” in islam of course means “insanely imperfect”

      I have never found anything remotely like love in Islam. It seems like the religion is mostly built on hate, if you ask me.

      • StellaSaidSo says

        Sep 28, 2018 at 11:54 pm

        I agree, Manny. Hatred is the very foundation of Islam.

        And I suspect that, in the future, we will see an increase in atrocities committed by brainwashed women in burqas.

          Sep 29, 2018 at 1:44 am

          And these are the poor, downtrodden victims of nasty, andro-centric repression? No, they have always been the devious behind-the-veil manipulators pulling the strings of their puffed-up, credulous menfolk whose brains have been addled by the spurious Religion of Base Procreative Obsession which renders the female of the species an ‘essential commodity’. I have frequently come across these ‘shrinking violets’ (‘shrinking trifids’, more like) in the local supermarket, virtually spitting venom behind their face-masks because they clearly think they can get away with anything when they’ve made themselves ‘invisible’. And we all know about the atrocities that these ‘epitomes of victimhood’ have committed once their puppets have succumbed to the inevitable consequences of islamic savagery and the veil slips off – metaphorically if not literally.

        • StellaSaidSo says

          Sep 29, 2018 at 2:41 am

          Excellent post, Jayell.

          I know exactly what you mean re the venomous ‘violets’. They might indeed ‘shrink’ before their Muslim owners, but their hatred of the kuffar – kuffar women especially – is unsurpassed.

      • European pagan says

        Sep 29, 2018 at 2:48 am

        Yes, hatred and fear.

    To do this to your own son. Savages. We need to find an international support system for all Muslim converts.

    Islam, the only religion I know of that can cause a mother to order a hit on her own son – for leaving the religion.

    Truly a satanic cult.

  7. Anjuli Pandavar says

    Sep 28, 2018 at 6:05 pm

    The young man is lucky he got away with merely the Shari’a provision (The Reliance of the Traveler, Q5.8):

    “The seventh degree [of censuring] is to directly hit or kick the person, or similar measures that do not involve weapons. This is permissible for private individuals provided it is necessary, and that one confines oneself to the minimum needed to stop the reprehensible action and nothing more. When the action has been stopped, one refrains from doing anything further.”

    Had his mother killed him, that would’ve been just fine. Shari’a is sophisticated enough to be sensitive to her position (O1.2):

    “The following are not subject to retaliation:

    -4- a father or mother …for killing their offspring.”

    Elsewhere (I can’t find the reference now), Shari’a encourages parents to kill their children for much less than this. It’s also permissible that if you can’t do it yourself, to get some burly blokes to do the deed for you.

    I pray for more power to this brave son.. who has embraced love over hate… Even though I’m not a Christian, I can see that he is touched by the love of Christ.

    Cigarettes are bad for you, and they get really, really dangerous in the hands of a muslim stumbling over a defenceless infidel.
