** Note 002:218a. Mullah coined the theory that when a Moslem renounced Islam he must be put to death immediately. An instantaneous public lynching of anyone who recanted Islam to enter another Faith even before the State took action is a part of the Moslem history.

Common sense dictates that if a person merits execution for leaving Islam, the adherents of other Faiths have equal right to kill anyone who leaves their religion to enter Islam. That will end the evangelical spread of Islam by conversions which almost every Moslem believes.

A State-enforced death penalty for renouncing Islam is contrary to several provisions of the Holy Qor-aan. Freedom of religion and worship is a part of Islam. There is no compulsion in the matters of religion (002:257). Anyone can pursue any religion he deems fit (109:003 to 007).

God’s will established by verses 002:218, 003:087 to 003:092, and 003:107 categorically contradicts Mullah’s Modifications that entail death penalty for renouncing Islam. Those who abandon Islam suffer other after-effects mentioned in aforesaid verses. But Islam definitely does not mandate or even allow the execution of a convert from Islam to any other religion as a death penalty enforced by the State or public-lynching by the vigilantes.

The irresponsible, irreligious and inhumane Mullah’s Modification of Islam in the form of a death penalty for exiting Islam is one humongous misrepresentation of Islam.
