You are intentionally screwing up this thread to deflect from the truth. Yes, my dear, punishment for apostasy exists, as does stoning for adultery and beheadings, but by a [b]version of Islam that has zero basis in the Quran. [/b]The political solution is for clerics, imams, and mullahs in those countries where culture is deeply entrenched in Islam to meet with US and European clerics, imams, and mullahs and re-evaluate their understanding. In such countries they used to bury female infants. They were, and in some respects, remain an ignorant pseudo muslim society. 
Islam in America or Europe as taught by reputable scholars is free of those old cultural restraints, and that is why it is TRUE islam.

If you truly want to know about true Islam you would check out the Islamic scholar Hamza Yusuf's youtube lectures. Google him rather than cutting and posting your cliff notes of oppressive Sharia laws.

And I mentioned that Hamza Yusuf was Muslim as a mockery and in reference to the pp who felt it noteworthy to expose  that most of Islams converts were of African descent. Our own prophet was middle eastern and possibly dark complected, so whether anyone is dark or light complected is irrelevant to God in Islam. [/quote]

Yes, thanks to a non-Muslim PP, we all understand the Muslim position, which is that anybody who doesn't see the logic and beauty is "intentionally" avoiding the "truth" and deliberately "screwing up the thread."  Sorry, but I do not find your arguments convincing. If Yusuf argues in the same deceptive vein as you, which seems likely if the recommendation comes from you, then I'm staying far away. That does not make me "vile" or "full of hatred" or "dense." It means I do not find your so-called explanations convincing.

How about you take a different approach, one that addresses specific concerns instead of insulting the asker. If death by apostasy has "zero basis in the Quran" then please do us the favor of explaining the Quranic verse that two of us have quoted, that apparently calls for death for apostates.[/quote]
