This likely happened because of the stigma on apostasy. 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.”
“Boy, 7, hospitalized after Muslim teens attack him for father’s faith,” TAB Media, December 21, 2020:
DHOBLEY, Somalia — A 7-year-old boy was hospitalized for three days after male Muslim teenagers attacked him for his father’s Christian faith.
The attack occurred after the father finished a Bible study Oct. 9 with other underground Christians in Dhobley.
The father has been targeted since leaving Islam eight years ago.
In 2012, he fled from another country to Kenya. There, a German missionary couple told him about Jesus and the man later accepted Jesus. His wife accepted Christ in 2013. The couple have been attacked and persecuted repeatedly since then, often by the woman’s father.
Her father beat her, causing a miscarriage; kidnapped her twice; kept her from her husband for three years; and plotted with other Muslims to kill her husband….
Infidel says
Where did this crime happen – in Somalia or Kenya? It says that in 2012, he fled to Kenya, and that the next year, his wife embraced Christianity. If that’s the case, why did they return to Somalia?

The levels of absolute bravery of these proud soldiers of Islam. Beating up a 7 year old, the courage required to do that is enormous.
This is where I’d want to have a nice little chat with the brave lads and maybe their fathers as well,,,,,with a Bull whip or maybe a cattle prod, just so they know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of some of their own behavior.
Call it “attitude adjustment”.

Somalia: Muslim teens attack and hospitalize seven-year-old boy because his father left Islam for Christianity
……………….
Just hideous–the poor kid and his family.
The family should flee–especially from the wife’s father.
European pagan says
Her father beat her, causing a miscarriage; kidnapped her twice; kept her from her husband for three years; and plotted with other Muslims to kill her husband -> and this because they had a new religion… islam is so evil and dangerous. The Quran says that noone can be forced to believe, but there are some evil hadiths. Hadiths are more evil than the Quran. I don’t believe in any book religion, but I’m sure that if Somalia was a Christian country, lot of things would be better.

OLD GUY says
And our politicians want to keep bringing Somalians into America, big mistake. When these Somalian migrants arrive they don’t move them into the politicians neighborhood they end up in middle income neighborhoods and turn them quickly into ghettos.

If Islam is so great why do its adherents behave so poorly as human beings?
