Hegazi case: IslamÂ’s obsession with conversions
2007-08-29
Posted by:ryuge

#3  The vast majority is saying that Mohammad Hegazi must be killed as an apostate. Only a small part dares to quote the Koran – which states that “there is no compulsion in religion” – and states its support for his freedom.

So, where are all the "moderate" Muslims who should be exclaiming about how "“there is no compulsion in religion”? Instead, it is "the vast majority" who seek death for Hegazi.

There is the desire, on the part of certain administrative offices, to use their position to “Islamize” Christians, or simply an aversion to making such a change. This aversion is not due however to the inefficiency of Egyptian bureaucracy. The proof is that, going the other way, there is never any difficulty in changing the identity card of a Christian who wants to become Muslim: this gets done right away!

A crystal clear example of why theocratic Islam must be crushed and ground to dust under the West's boot heel.

It is in fact a step that should bring the state to a certain neutrality vis-à-vis religions.

What a dreamer. The Islamic state and church are mutually reinforcing and neither would have it any other way.

The Islamic world is truly obsessed with conversions. At least 7 Islamic countries apply the death penalty to those who convert from Islam: Sudan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Mauritania. But in other states, like Egypt, converts are condemned to prison, not as apostates but for contempt of Islam

All of the above countries should be economically boycotted and disqualified for any foreign aid, even in times of disaster. I don't give a damn about Saudi oil. I'll pay $10.00 a gallon for gasoline but this shit's gotta end.

According to government daily Al-MassaÂ’, all imams are unanimous on the need to kill the apostate Hegazi. They say that sharia (not the Koran) must be enforced and it calls for the death penalty.The more moderate say: if the apostate hides his conversion, does not broadcast his decision, then it is not necessary to kill him; he can live. If he lets it be known, then he causes scandal (fitna) and must die.

Note just how deeply kitman and taqiyya run in Islam's blood. Even an apostate is allowed to utilize this moral and ethical crime to hide his apostasy. You could cut the irony with a knife.

In any case, 3 famous imam have pronounced themselves against Hegazi. The first is Imam Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a big expert in his field, who cites dozens of references from the first centuries and concludes that Hegazi has to be killed because the group is in danger and the group takes priority over the individual.

Remember Qaradawi is widely regarded—inside and outside of Islam—as a "moderate" Muslim for advocating that men should beat their wives "lightly". No one mentions how Qaradawi almost singlehandedly issued the series of fatwan that were used to justify the martyrdom of homicide bombers.

Islam's overarching insecurity—like that of an easily spooked horse—makes it a danger to itself and everyone around it. Long ago, such worthless dray animals were put down and turned into petfood. A similar fate needs to await Islam.

#2  When Whittaker Chambers left the Communists, the left denounced him but at least they didn't threaten him with death.

One of the remarkable things about Islam is that, because of the death threats, etc., not a single Moslem in any country with an active moslem population, can be said to be a true believer.

#1  No one sane would convert to this lunacy voluntarily; even Scientology offers more internal coherence. That leaves reproduction using female slaves, forced conversion and murder and, perhaps most important, death to anyone trying to leave the cult. This is not history. It is biology.
