So if someone is born a Muslim, he's a Muslim forever? If he deconverts, he gets a death sentence?

Question

If that's the case, Mohamed can eat dirt!

How is it incorrect?
In Saudi Arabia, there's a death penalty for deconverts.

Ok thank you for clearing this up,

Answer 1

Only he who has the power to punish can pardon.

Answer 2

no, that's not how it is..you can 'deconvert' for all i care, and 'still live'..there is no death penalty in islam; it's completely between the person and God..we've no right to kill someone saying they are wrong..The way it is done in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc. is actually wrong..Just like how 'By Any Means Necessary said..

Answer 3

No.You're not born as a Muslim or a Jew or a Hindu.It's juast that your family might've been following the religion for ages and you are naturally considered a member of that religion.
It's all your choice.You can switch for sure and I',m sure you won't be detained from heaven just because you decided not to follow Islam.AAbout the death sentece,you're safe in most countries except some like Iran where I bet there's a fatwa for even blinking.So go for it.

Answer 4

i was a Muslim and i have converted into Judaism, i got bashed and ridiculed all the time, as soon as i converted to Judaism i felt a sense of peace, i do NOT believe that i will be thrown to hell, everything happens for a reason and i do not think God with banish his children, we are people; weak, confused, and we just don't know, there are so many religions out there, so the ones who are born the "right religion" are going to the Kingdom of Heaven? i just do not get it, it does not make sense. I am happier as a Jewish woman because it is my choice, i embrace every inch of this religion, and people can say otherwise, but i am strong, i heard it all before!

peace!

Answer 5

No incorrect, I think this guy addresses this misconception very well:

Edit:

In Saudi Arabia not Islamicly speaking, the Islamic position is given in the video. Saudi Arabia do implment Sharia Law but also other things they consider Islamic but have no real basis for in Islam for example women and driving.

Answer 6

for a Muslim Islam is the last religion, if you don't believe in Islam then what is it you believe in....just because you are born into a Muslim family and you decide you don't want to be a Muslim you will not be killed but you will in your grave and the angels come they will ask your religion what will you tell them..

respect what your saying about converting to Judaism but you are not a Jew there are only chosen Jews....if you where a Muslim you would never say you converted to be a Jew because then you where never really a Muslim

Answer 7

How is that for a loving a peaceful religion!
