The Sharia penalty for apostasy is death.
It is beyond the comprehension of most Westerners that any teen girl’s father and brothers could murder her for apostasy; they choose to follow written tenets…
“They wish that you would disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that you may be on the same level. So do not choose friends from them until they migrate in the way of Allah, if they turn back, then take them and kill them wherever you find them, and choose no friend or helper from among them.” (Quran 4:89)
The Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.'” (Sahih Bukhari 52:260)
[In the words of] “Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him. (Sahih Bukhari 84:57)
Of course not all Muslims do follow such tenets, as is the case with “Mary Olowe’s” mother, who took her to safety and likely needs a haven herself.
Nigerian Christians are experiencing genocide as the world turns a blind eye and focuses on whatever the news cycle dictates.
“Nigerian Teen Whose Christian Conversion Triggered Death Threats Granted Restraining Order,” by Joe Bukuras Jos, ACI Africa, August 28, 2023:
An 18-year-old Nigerian Christian convert has been granted a court order protecting her from her father and brothers, who have been threatening to kill her for leaving the Islamic religion.
Identified by the pseudonym Mary Olowe, the woman was smuggled to safety in a Christian community by her mother, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, the religious freedom organization that assisted in the case.
Following the threats, Olowe and her mother sought a restraining order against the father and brothers. ADF International announced the Nigerian high court’s order on Friday.
The order said that “the defendants are hereby restrained from threat and attempt on the life of the applicant following her decision to change from the practice of Islam to Christianity and also not to breach her fundamental rights as to the choice of her religion or thoughts.”
The ruling was not appealed, according to ADF International.
“We are relieved that Mary has found protection from these credible threats and that the court recognized her fundamental right to convert from Islam to Christianity,” Sean Nelson, legal counsel for ADF International, said in a statement Friday.
“This is an important decision that we pray will help others facing threats to their lives only because they came to believe in Christ,” he said.
Nelson said that no one should be persecuted for their faith, adding that Nigerian Christian converts from Islam often are targeted and discriminated against for their change in religion….
The Nigerian constitution has no official state religion and provides for religious freedom, according to the U.S. State Department’s 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom in Nigeria….
According to ADF International, 5,500 Christians were killed for their faith last year across the globe and Nigerians constituted 90% of those deaths….
FYI says
Being an Apostate in islam{a murtad} is very impressive.
You either reasoned your way out of it or at some deep emotional level rejected it because its teachings are warped.
To classify non-muslims as ‘the WORST of created beings”{koran 98:6} is appaling and means that the Golden Rule cannot exist in islam.To be told {koran 5:51] if you are friends with a non-muslim then you too are an infidel,the ‘WORST of created beings” makes no sense and is contrary to human nature.
There is no Love in islam:There are 2 chief commandments in the Law of Moses written in the Torah that cannot be satisfied by islamic teachings…and who claims to be the source of that Torah?
Yes that’s right:allah does{koran 2:87 koran 3:3}
Whoever wrote the koran ripped off the Bible ,inserted a Jizya Tax money scam and the Hijab nonsense to control women {in fact-it has nothing to do with modesty}
Well done to anyone who is an ‘aposate’ from islam:now you are an infidel.
In fact if you were still a muslim and one of your friends just happened to be an infidel then you would also be an infidel by koran 5:51.Consider how nuts that is.
It is not an easy road but that Way of the Murtads brings you to a happier place.
You have escaped the worst cult in the world.
