A Critical Analysis of 'Real Islam'. Its People ... - Bukti dan Saksi

against Jews is also persistent: Jewish buildings blown up in Argentina, France, and elsewhere, Daniel
Pearl's murder in Pakistan and other Jews targeted for stabbings worldwide. The essential training of their
young to vilify Jews and Westerners continues to serve as the psychological preparation for this kind of
murder and mayhem against Jews, and now against Americans, and tomorrow against Japanese, Chinese,
Australians, New Zealanders, Vietnamese, etc etc etc, …and on and on, …until the vision of the whole
world as Islamic is achieved. To decide if Islam promotes bigotry and racism, the rules governing killing
of non-Muslims should always be compared to the following Islamic rule governing the killing of
brothers enshrined in the Qur’an:
And whosoever killeth a believer intentionally, his recompense shall be Hell, he shall abide therein and God's
wrath shall be on him and His curse, and (there) is prepared for him a great torment (4:93)
The Qur’an on Relations with Non-Muslim Family Members:
Earlier it was pointed out that Muslims broke ties of allegiance and friendship with allied tribes and
near family members. The Qur’an takes this a step further. Sura 58:22 shows that family blood ties are
broken. Islam has an anti-family element, causing Muslims to fight and kill relatives if they reject
Muhammad’s rule. The principals (and purpose) governing Muslim conduct with non-believing relatives
will be further studied in the chapter "The Psychology of Jihad".
Muslims who Leave Islam
Just as Christians organizing against the core belief in Jesus Christ are no longer considered
Christians, Muslims who actively oppose Muhammad’s declarations and example of jihad would have
ceased to be Muslims. But Islam goes well beyond that concept of losing fellowship. Sharia (Islamic law)
is based on the Qur’an, the example of Muhammad (sunna) and the consensus (idjmaa). Under this law,
anyone falling away from faith in Islam commits an "unforgivable sin". Such "apostates" must be taken
into custody by force, and called on to repent. Anyone so confronted and who does not immediately
repent and turn back to Islam has forfeited his life, and is to be put to death by the state. While this is not
carried out on a regular basis in the many Islamic lands practicing Sharia, the threat is ever present.
Sudan, and Mauritania address the issue of apostasy in their penal codes. In the Sudanese Penal Code of
1991, article 126. 2, we read: "Whoever is guilty of apostasy is invited to repent over a period to be
determined by the tribunal. If he persists in his apostasy and was not recently converted to Islam, he will
be put to death." The Penal Code of Mauritania of 1984, article 306 reads: "…All Muslims guilty of
apostasy, either spoken or by overt action will be asked to repent during a period of three days. If he does
not repent during this period, he is condemned to death as an apostate, and his belongings confiscated by
the State Treasury".
In the Hadith there are many references demanding the death penalty for apostasy. According to Ibn
Abbas the Prophet said, "Kill him who changes his religion", or "behead him". The only serious argument
is as to the method and timing of death penalty implementation. There is a logical reason why
Muhammad dictated that apostasy rank so high an offence as to be worthy of the death penalty.
Muhammads Islam was largely a military movement in the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries, so he saw apostasy
as a defection to the enemy. Traitors in military campaigns were always executed by military
organizations of that region and others, and Islam was and is a warrior’s faith designed to support military
campaigns. One of Islam’s most respected theologians and prolific writers in the last century, Pakistani
Abu’l Ala Mawdudi, insists that both Qur’an and Hadith demand an apostate’s execution. He quotes the
Qur’an (9:11-12) and the canonized Hadith: "Any person, i.e. Muslim, who has changed his religion, kill
him" (Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, p. 45). The Islamic scholar, Majid Khadduri, agrees that Qur’anic
commentaries say a believer who turns back from his religion must be killed if he persists in disbelief (p.
150).
Muhammad was not content to conquer by force, or kill those that merely opposed him physically or
verbally; he also taught that Muslims who leave the Islamic faith are to be murdered. Here are some more
quotes from Bukhari's collection of Hadith. Remember, Bukhari's Hadith is the second most important
writing in Islam, following the Qur’an.
