Well, I guess I qualify, as I'm not a Muslim... Interesting request you've made. It's from the Qur'an, 5:112 ("The Table"). Your quotation comes from the Yusuf Ali translation/interpretation.

Yes. The Criminal Justice System does not recognize the judicial powers of an Islamic body to punish anyone. Hence, any crime committed in pursuance of carrying out any Fatwa issued against the victim would be triable under the criminal law and the Fatwa issuing body is also liable for prosecution.

This is a Free Country we will speak against Islam if we wanna and if anyone doesn't like it then such a person can go live in one of those Countries where the Koran is the Law.\n\nAnyways Allah is not Yahweh (Jehovah) at all, Allah is in fact satan, so henceforth a demon spoke to Muhammed and thus told Muhammed to claim Jesus was a great Prophet so that while the status of Christ was degraded down, one would be tricked into falling for Islam's lies on account of the idea that if Jesus is at least acknowledge as a Prophet then that makes the satanic religion of Islam look good in some people's eyes.\n\nBut I will not be fooled and if anyone wants to whine a prayer facing Mecca off the top of their lungs about my exercising my Freedom of Speech then be my guest.

One might ask the same thing of Muslims.

Because at its heart there is no way to justify it. If you made a statement you would normally expect to be able to justify it by appealing to evidence, the religious cannot.

NO one has a right to impose his / her religion on anybody. But he can work to spread his religion and its on the other person to accept it or not. None of the religions of the world teach to impose the religion by force.

....thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true. \n\nThis is Yusuf Ali's rendering anyway.

Hz Muhammed (SAV) My prophet. Actually he is prophet of All people but some poeple dont believe him. When baby girls bury, when mans and mans marry together, when codgers dead, when slave traders by and sell slaves he come and change every thing change every world. Hey you, stop then think. He was leader of millions people but he was poor and he worked all time of days. Why ? Because same me and you he is vassal. he didnt agree fortune. He is work only for Allah and peoples.

No, Koran does not state that. Instead, There are lot of verses that mention about freedom of belief.

I don't beleive so. Maybe in Saudi Arabia you can be condemned to death, but in the USA definitely not. Islamic laws in different countries and among different cultures are different. My opinion is that nobody can condemn you to death because of your religious beliefs.

I think that decision can only be made by God Himself.\n\nAnd even then it's done by an individual by individual basis, not a group basis.

well, since you're a mulla, you should pray to Allah and he'll do it for you. All this POP3 and reply-to settings are for infidels.

Ahmadee's have been tagged as Non-Muslims by all of the Muslim authorities because Mirza Ghulam Ahamd Qadyani declared himself himself as Prophet but his lies are documented, read the article below..\n\nMirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadyani, who arrogated himself to Prophethood, invented this misleading doctrine in India, and called the mobs there to believe in him. Mirza Qadyani gave a false legal opinion that the religious duty of fighting against enemies of Islam had been abrogated and called people to surrender and co-operate with the imperialist British authorities in India. By this method he gained the influential and financial support of the British authorities. Mirza Qadyani strived hard to falsify and destroy Islam. He printed his books "Tasdeeq Brahiyn Ahmediyah", "Triyak-ul-Quloob" etc. and succeeded in misleading many groups in India.\n\nMIRZA GHULAM AHMAD QADIANI-- LIAR, APOSTATE, DUALIST-INFIDEL\nYou have challenged the Ulema of the Ummat for a Mubahala. Remember, such engagements are final touchstones which distinguish between right and wrong, truth and falsehood. You seem to be going in for this Mubahala because you are not sure of the truthfulness of your Sire, even after a lapse of one century. Evidently you and your party members distrust your Patriarch.\n\nPraise be to Allah, the entire Islamic Ummah including myself - the most incompetent man of Ummat - don't have least of the least doubt that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was a liar. Final, decisive and unanimous is Islamic Ummah in the belief that after Allah's Prophet any claimant to prophethood, is a liar, apostate and dualist-infidel. This is in accordance with th Prophetic words:\n\n"Thirty liars (will appear before the Day of Judgement) and each one of them will claim to be a Prophet of Allah." (Tirmizi)\n\nMirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani is included in this list.\n\nThe statement that "Mirza's marriage was solemnised in the sky!" is one example of Mirza's falsehood. Allah the Exalted, Supreme in Perfection, Eminent in Wisdom, has provided us numerous conclusive proofs of the falsehood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani--the Musailma of the Punjab. The lies of this liar are as visible as the sun at meridian. In the context of these lies, the arch Liar cannot remain hidden from those whose hearts glow with the light of Faith, however faint. But those eyes which are totally sealed, Allah has been pleased to say about them:\n\n"And the person who shall be blind in this world shall be blind in the hereafter also and will be strayed more from the path".\n\nHow can a blind man tell the truth from the untruth or distinguish the white from the black? Let this one example suffice for Mirza's falsehood.\n\nMARRIAGE WITH MUHAMMADI BEGUM IN THE SKY!\nMirza declared the so-called revelation that he had been married with Muhammadi Begum, a respectable lady, in the sky. He kept on harping on this revelation of marriage from 1888 to 1907. Ultimately he wrote these words in his Appendix to Anjam e Atham on page 54.\n\n"Remember, if the second part of this predication does not come true (i.e. Muhammadi Begum is not married to Mirza after her widowhood), I should be deemed more wicked than any wicked man. O idiots! this is not a human's pretension. This is no business of any depraved impostor. Consider this to be God's true promise, definitely the same God Almighty Whose words are never withdrawn; the same Glorious Nourisher Whose intentions nobody can stop".\n\nCertainly we agree and do believe that Allah's words are His Will. His promises are true, unbreakable and uncontradictary, unflinching and unswerving. Nobody can stop His intents.\n\nMIRZA DID NOT EVEN SEEN THE SHADOW OF HIS ILLUSIVE BRIDE\nBut what happened to the second part of Mirza's prediction? Far from marriage, Mirza did not see even the shadow of his illusive bride, Muhammadi Begum. Is the falsehood of foul and fraudulent Mirza

HELL NO! That's a very broad generalization. How do you know it was a muslim? Maybe he was just making fun. Don't jump the gun because of it. I probably would have said the same thing, or something similar. Does that make me a cruel muslim?\n\nThe person's name was "homer simpson"....there's no way to tell if he was muslm by that.

First, the judgment come from Quran (The Muslims Holy Book), next they search for it in the profit Muhammad says.\n\nIf they don't find it, the court decide what is the best way to judge.

hello...may you read that please..........\nAssalamu Alaikum. Please read this opinion on apostacy from a major Islamic scholar.\n\nShah Abdul Hannan\n\n            Fatwa Question Details \n            Name Hossam  \n            Title  Should an Apostate Be Put to Death? \n            Question Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. Is it true that in Islam a person must be put to death if he or she converts to another religion? Jazakum Allahu khayran.\n           \n            Date 27/Mar/2006 \n            Mufti Ahmad Kutty \n            Topic Apostasy \n            Answer \n            Wa`alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.\n\n            In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.\n\n            All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.\n\n            Dear brother in Islam, thanks a lot for your question, which reflects your care to have a clear view of the teachings of Islam. Allah commands Muslims to refer to knowledgeable people to learn more about the teachings of Islam.\n\n            It is absurd for anyone to suggest that Islam advocates killing people who choose to leave Islam. To kill anyone who chooses to follow a religion other than Islam is against the fundamental teachings of the Qur'an. Freedom of conscience is a fundamental principle of the Qur'an that is clearly stated. Thus, if apostates cause no harm to the Muslim community and do not call for spreading hostility towards Islam, they should not to be punished; rather they should be advised kindly and wisely to learn the truth about Islam.\n\n            In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states the following:\n\n            Freedom of conscience is one of the fundamental rights of humans enshrined in the Qur'an; it is therefore, absurd for anyone to suggest that Islam allows putting people to death just because they convert to another religion.\n\n            Even a casual reader of the Qur'an will not fail to be impressed by its emphasis on the freedom of conscience as a cornerstone of its moral structure. To cite a few verses as follows:\n\n            [There shall be no compulsion in religion. Distinct has now become the right way from [the wayof] error: hence, he who rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way: for God is all-hearing, all-knowing] ( Al-Baqarah 2:256)\n\n            [If it had been your Lord's will, all who are in the earth would have believed. Will you, then, force the people to become believers?] (Yunus 10:99)\n\n            [And if they surrender themselves unto Him (i.e. God), they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty (O Muhammad,) is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.] (Aal `Imran 3:20)\n\n            [Hence, pay heed unto God, and pay heed unto the Messenger, and be ever on your guard [against evil]; and if you turn away, then know that Our Messenger's only duty is a clear delivery of the message [entrusted to him].] (Al-Ma'idah 5:92)\n\n            [But if they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, know that] Wehave not sent thee to be their keeper: thou art not bound to do more than deliver the message [entrusted to thee] .] (Ash-Shura 42:48)\n\n            I should further state that all of the moral teachings of the Qur'an are based on the notion of moral responsibility, which entails the freedom of choice. Therefore, to state that one must be put to death for choosing to disbelieve would only undermine the entire moral edifice of the Qur'an.\n\n            Furthermore, the Qur'an does not allow anyone to harm those who are leaving in peace, no matter what religion they hold on to. This principle has been clearly stated in the Qur'an as follows:\n\n
