Death Sentence In UK

It seems that CAIR and the MCB, etc need to do a bit of educating- some Muslims have gotten it into their heads that apostasy is not only a crime, but one punishable by death.

The daughter of a British imam is living under police protection after receiving death threats from her father for converting to Christianity.

I guess the imam himself is a bit confused about what his religion says- I mean, we're told all the time that apostasy isn't a crime worthy of death by Muslim spokesmen and that to point that out is merely being Islamophobic. I guess Abdul Rahman was some kind of misunderstanding too. And while they're re-educating the people of Afghanistan, they might want to pop over to Kuwait too- a few there seem to be "misinformed" about what Islam says too.

"My dad was shouting through the letter box, "I'm going to kill you", while the others smashed on the window and beat the door.

"They were shouting, 'We're going to kill you' and 'Traitor'.

How on earth could a father want to kill his daughter? It couldn't have anything to do with the dictates of his Islamic religion, could it?

"If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him." (Bukhari 4.52.60)

"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Bukhari 9.84.57)

Not to mention the verses of the Koran interpreted in the same manner. And as the woman in hiding from her own family explains,

"I know the Koran says anyone who goes away from Islam should be killed as an apostate, so in some ways my family are following the Koran. They are following Islam to the word."

She isn't the only one to assume that passages advocating killing apostates mean that apostates should be killed either-

A study this year found that 36 per cent of British Muslims between 16 and 24 believe those who convert to another religion should be punished by death.

That amounts to 576,000 Muslims in the UK.

In July an Iranian immigrant to Britain, who converted to Christianity, was saved from deportation after it emerged she would be stoned to death in her own country.

Could it be that all the so-called Islamophobes who have been pointing this fact out are actually telling the truth about what Islam says?
