Do Muslims realize that ?

Question

if people hear us saying things like ''apostates should be stoned or beheaded'' then they have every right to hate us and think we're evil ? How can Muslims complain about ''discrimination'' when many Muslims have such crazy ideas like beheading converts to other religions. Don't you realize that this doesn't help Islam in any way, if someone wants to leave islam then good for them who cares, for every person that leaves a 100 others convert to islam, are Muslims so paranoid that they can't take it when someone disagrees with them? Sorry if this seems harsh but it's just unimaginable how many Muslims believe in these barbaric things, I am stunned at this myself... it's no wonder people hate Muslims.

Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls).

Quran 13:11

aunthent... when did Allah tell you to kill apostates from islam ?

Sorry but I am not a clone. Just because you don't like what you're hearing doesn't mean I don't mean it. Read what I said and think about it.

motaz i'm not a jew I'M MUSLIM. Just because you don't agree with my opinion doesn't make you a better Muslim than I am. WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN MUSLIM ??? THEY DIDN'T MAKE THAT CHOICE

So people that answered here, you mean to tell me that you would stand and throw stones at a person if he decided he has different beliefs ???

you think I'm a clone because I say this is wrong ??

I say it's wrong not because I'm a clone but because I'm a sane human being.

yeah. Allah wants you to stand and throw stones at someone just because he wants to change his religion ???

BTW this V. IMP thing should have been mentioned in the Quran if it's true don't you think. Why would Allah say ''No compulsion in religion'' , was ALLAH LYING ??????????????

You're right fatiflow..., it's so weird to think that BEHEADING and STONING is evil !!

Answer 1

I realize that. I'm just worried about the people who dont. Islam is a promoter of universalizability. This completely goes against it. Where does this idea come from anyway?

Answer 2

One of the nastier aspects of Islam is that the death penalty for apostates has survived into the modern age. Christians aren't innocent of killing people who have chosen to leave their religion, but capital punishment for apostasy is fortunately a relic of the Christian past — thanks to modern secularism and secularization, at least.

Islam, however, hasn't made the same progress and so we find some Muslims today sincerely advocating the death of those who leave Islam for another religion or who abandon religion and theism entirely. We can even find Muslims in the West and America expressing such positions — they honestly don't see anything wrong with killing a person for acting autonomously and choosing not to be a Muslim.

Apostates in Islam have a very difficult time. We don’t generally hear about these people’s stories - they do, after all, try to keep quiet. But even when they aren’t quiet, little is said about them in the West because their experiences help demonstrate that too many of the Muslims in the world do not share the West’s values of religious tolerance and freedom.

For most people in the West, apostasy is simply not an issue of great concern. Some may be disappointed when such an event occurs, but today changing religions is so common that it just doesn’t arouse much antagonism or anger — even the world “apostate” is hardly used anymore. That, however, is not the case in Islam where apostasy continues to be a crime punishable by death: those who are apostates must fear for their lives and even the lives of their families.

Ignoring the plight of apostates from Islam is wrong and unethical. Why does it happen? Perhaps there are fears of offending Muslims. If the defense of people who want to leave Islam bothers some people, tough — they should learn to live with it instead of trying to end the lives of those who don’t want to be Muslim.

I suggest that all of us read this book:

Answer 3

there is largely one Islam. people who're changing it and changing it are no longer following Islam yet something they concocted themselves. Malcolm X became right into a member of the rustic of Islam, its a sect and sects are forbidden in Islam. He carried out Hajj and left the rustic of Islam and only observed Islam. Muslims are available in each coloration from each u . s . a . and its no longer unique after any race. It would not unquestionably remember what black supremacists think of or what white supremacists think of...God is all our decide no person else. i'm a White, scottish Muslim...and that i've got seen Muslims each coloration from each u . s . a . and its no longer something i'm hectic approximately. The u . s . a . of Islam is unfastened to believe what they like yet anybody who has examine the Quran and places themselves in a sect is familiar with its forbidden by employing the be attentive to God, besides changing that's committing a sin. Insha Allah all Muslims shop on with the real direction.

Answer 4

You are right. Islam is right. The Quran is right. Muslims who want to kill apostates are wrong...and are then themselves not following Islam? Should they then kill themselves for not following the Quran?

Answer 5

aunthent!
Do you truly believe in what you just wrote?
A Muslim terrorist will say the same.
You so-called Muslims are those who drag down the true faith; you quote one small verse from the Holy Quran and ignore other verses.
I am now convinced that Many Muslims who read the Holy Quran interpret the words to their own liking. Shame on you.

Answer 6

If people hate Muslims that is up to them, I believe it is the lack of education and understatement which leads them into hating Muslims, to be honest I don't care if people do hate us, as I am mainly concerned if Allah (swt) is pleased with me (",)

Any way about this matter I was confused as well, Insha'Allah (God Willing) do read what the brother explained to me.

Answer 7

Does it matter? Please ask yourself: who is more important, Allah or non-Muslims? You cannot make a sweety sweet version of Islam because you are not strong enough to handle the Truth.
I do not intend to offend you, Sister, but please do not attempt to dilute the message of Allah. You would be better off apostatizing yourself than continuing on this path! If you leave Islam, you only hurt yourself. If you change the words of Allah, you can hurt many!

Answer 8

"Don't you realize that this doesn't halp Islam in any way?"

do you listen to yourself? when u are addressing "you" in that sentence, are you addressing Muslims, or Allah the All-Mighty? Are you saying that what he commanded us to do is no good? Don't EVER question Allah again, because that is a form of Shirk, and i advise you just repent to Allah.

We shouldn't CARE about what the non-Muslims think of us, because we know that we are right, as long as we follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Would you rather look good infront of the people, or infront of Allah SWT on the Day of Reckoning? Really, ask yourself that question.
if they hate us, so be it; they hate anything that isn't of their desires or wishes.

God Bless
