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

Pakistan: Muslims call for the killing of Hindu teenage girl who converted to Islam and then renounced it

Feb 11, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

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.”

“Hindu minor girl renounces Islam, irks Pak mullahs,” Pragativadi News Service, February 9, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Islamabad: The Hindu minor girl who was forcefully converted has renounced Islam. This act has irked Pakistani mullahs who demanded death penalty for her.

Reports said the radical Islamists and clerics in the Islamic nation are up in arms against Hindu girl Mehak Kumari for retracting her previous statement that she had accepted Islam of her own free will.

Kumari said she was forced to accept Islam. Her statement has caused widespread furore among the Islamic fanatics.

After the girl renounced Islam, rabid Islamists in Pakistan are demanding death penalty to the minor accusing her of insulting Islam. They have rejected the probe and proceedings of Sessions Court and have already moved to the high court threatening to go to the Shariat Court if the girl is not brought to justice in a manner they want.

One of the clerics told the media that as the girl has renounced Islam they will be acting on the Sharia law in the future.

    Isn’t Islam great!!(sarc. off) Always calling for killing of human beings! And our politicians and academics don’t get tired of sucking up to this vile and evil ideology!

    • Terry Gain says

      Feb 11, 2020 at 7:19 pm

      Yes, a vile ideology. No freedom of conscience. No freedom of speech. Some thinking is forbidden. A barbaric ideology which commands the killing of everyone who doesn’t accept the evil ideology. A carnal paradise for those who kill. A god who creates women as sex things for the pleasure of men.

      The only way to accept this evil ideology as a religion is to have no minimum requirements. It’s like accepting that North Korea is a Democratic Republic.

      Challenge Islam’s claim to be a religion and promote public discussion which will cause people to scrutinize this barbaric and evil ideology. Or prepare for war or submission.

    You know, they’re really not so bad. If they would only stop the killing, bombing, burning, raping, genital mutilation, intimidation, oppressing, enslaving, racist curses and coercion, they would be really nice neighbors.

      Yes.

      If only the muslims followed allah’s request..

      “So give respite to the disbelievers.Deal thou gently with them for a while”
      koran 86:17

      That’s very thoughtful of allah:unfortunately muslims don’t read the koran.

      Even allah says the kuffar need a break.

      • mortimer says

        Feb 11, 2020 at 4:58 pm

        FYI … that’s not ‘a break’, but a pause in the battle to lure the kafirs to lower their guard, so that Muslims may exploit the kafir vulnerability.

        It’s called ‘passive aggression’.

    “There is no compulsion in religion”
    koran 2 v 256

    Except for ..

    1]Those forced to convert to islam
    2]Ex-muslim “apostates”/muslims who choose to be Atheists
    3]Infidels forced to pay a Jizya Tax

      Feb 11, 2020 at 1:31 pm

      Seconded, FYI. Muslims just love to play word games. Their religion teaches them to do so.

      • mortimer says

        Feb 11, 2020 at 5:03 pm

        ‘No compulsion in religion’ doesn’t mean what Muslim apologists say. It actually means that no impediment is allowed for people to join Islam, even a previous sacred oath.

        Mohammed practiced compulsion in the matter of forced conversion to Islam, so the verse K.2.256 doesn’t mean what is claimed.

        FORCIBLE CONVERSION to Islam is indeed a Muslim word-game:

        Muhammad said: “Woe to you Abu Sufyan, isn’t it time that you recognize that I am God’s apostle?” He [Sufyan] answered, “As to that I still have some doubt.” [Ibn Abbas] said to him [Sufyan], “Submit and testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the apostle of God before you lose your head,” so he [Sufyan] did so.” – Tabari pt2,p.157; Ibn Kathir ‘Biography of the Prophet’ pt3,p.549

        Abu Sufyan entered Islam by force under a threat of death from Mohammed himself.

          ‘No compulsion in religion’ doesn’t mean what Muslim apologists say. It actually means that no impediment is allowed for people to join Islam, even a previous sacred oath.

          Mort, are you implying that Islam is a one-way street? If yes, what’s the speed limit and who are the traffic cops?

    • Infidel says

      Feb 11, 2020 at 4:14 pm

      Allah’s Apostle (Muhammad) said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’. And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally.” Bukhari 8:387
      Even within the same sura (chapter) of the Quran that verse 256 appears, Muslims are instructed to “fight with them (non-Muslims) until there is no more persecution and religion is only for Allah. (v. 2:193)” Apologists claim that this applied to the people of Mecca. This is interesting because these same Meccans were later converted to Islam by force (compulsion).

    Islam is an evil ideology. This ideology forcibly converts young girls to Islam so that they can be forcibly married. Then calls for the death is they leave Islam. This is a murderous ideology.

    • Wellington says

      Feb 11, 2020 at 5:14 pm

      Yes, Islam is an evil and murderous ideology but the chief trouble is that it is also a major religion and hides behind a religious veil most capably.

      Well, after all, where is it written that a major religion cannot be evil? Nowhere that I know of.

      • Terry Gain says

        Feb 11, 2020 at 8:00 pm

        It is written immediately below your dystopian comment, Wellington.

        Where was it written 50 years ago that women would comprise the majority of students today in medicine, law, veterinary school and architecture?

        The chief trouble is that even people who oppose Islam concede that it is a religion. This gives Islam a 50 yard head start in a 100 yard dash.

        You have no plan to stop the spread of Islam. Use your abundant intelligence to develop arguments as to why Islam is not a legitimate religion. And then go have a beer. Or two.

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 11, 2020 at 10:20 pm

          Terry, your claim that those who acknowledge that Islam is a religion–which it is by any definition–have no intention to stop the spread of Islam is just false, You may as well say the same thing about Robert Spencer.

          Changing our words for Muslims will not stop Islam–in fact, not recognizing what is true is rather more apt to allow its spread.

        • Wellington says

          Feb 11, 2020 at 11:00 pm

          Terry: I respectfully refer you to gravenimage’s 10:20 P.M. comment.

          As for my plan “to stop the spread of Islam” (and I have a plan though not in alignment with yours), it is to expose Islam as inimical to freedom. No other major religion is such and here Islam is the odd man out.

          And just imagine if vast numbers of people in the West, including a large majority of the still silly, willfully ignorant, clueless elites, thought of Islam as a religion but as an evil religion. Think this wouldn’t dynamically change matters even though you would not get your wish that Islam isn’t even considered a religion? Ponder this for a little while if you will.

    Barack Hussein compared to Hindu girl Mehak Kumari:

    Remember that Barack Hussein Obama only went through a Moslem phase while an adolescent, and quit when his mom yelled at him. So he was never an official convert to Islam and therefore incapable of apostasy. So our great ex-Prez is ok, nobody’s gonna kill him, unless somebody goes off the deep end about the $10 trillion of federal debt he rack up in 8 years.

      I hate all evil ideologies, especially those that claim to be a religion. Are there any others? Hating Islam is not enough to stop Islam. We must provoke discussion about just how evil the ideology is. Conceding that Islam is a religion forfeits the debate. Islam is winning the propaganda battle. Not only is it erroneously recognized as a religion, some fools accept the outrageous claim that Islam is Abrahamic.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 12, 2020 at 8:19 pm

        Terry, we have had this discussion many times before. The worship of Ba’al was a religion, and the faith of the Aztecs was a religion. Both involved human sacrifice. There have been many others.

        And of course Anti-Jihadists are involved in discussing how evil Islam is–this is a major part of what Jihad Watch is for.

        Islam is a religion by any definition. Your demands that we change our language for Muslims will not help us fight Islam. And the claim that we cannot fight against Islam while recognizing that it is a religion is baseless–the Founding Fathers fought Islam, Churchill fought Islam, and Robert Spencer fights Islam, all without ignoring what Islam really is.

        And conflating the idea that if Islam is recognized as a religion–which it is–with our having to accept the claim that it is an Abrahamic religion–which it *is not*–is a spurious argument.

    The BRAVERY of this young girl to renounce Islam knowing the danger speaks volumes about how bad Islamic teachings are. God bless her and protect her.

    She is a good candidate for refugee status under India’s new immigration law for those who fear for their wellbeing as residents of Islamic countries.

      Yes–I hope she and her family flee to India.
