In this case these women were not behaving in an “extremist” manner. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”
Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”
“ISIS brides stab girl, 16, and a one-legged man to death after finding them guilty of apostasy at Syria’s sprawling al-Hol refugee camp – home to tens of thousands of female jihadis,” by Chris Dyer, Mailonline, October 11, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
ISIS wives and widows in a Syrian jihadi camp have set up special courts and executed at least two people by stabbing them to death, officials claim.
In the sprawling al-Hol camp in the northeast of the war-torn country female ISIS members have turned one of their tents into a court administering the group’s harsh interpretation of Islamic law.
They also wielded knives and pistols in clashes with guards as the troubled camp descends into chaos amid fears battle-hardened jihadis could be released from Kurdish prison camps following a Turkish invasion earlier this week.
Last month, the jihadi women found a 16-year-old girl guilty of apostasy and repeatedly knifed her to death as a punishment, before killing a one-legged man for the same alleged crime.
The camp, which is home to some 71,400 people, mostly wives, widows and children of ISIS fighters, saw women stone and stab their Kurdish guards in July.
British jihadi bride Shamima Begum previously lived in the camp and gave birth to a son, Jerah, who died just weeks after his birth.
In the recent knifing incident, the women pulled knives from their all-enveloping black robes after the guilty verdict was announced and repeatedly stabbed the teenage girl.
Kurdish guards evacuated her to a clinic where she later died, according to Abdul-Qader al-Ofeidly, commander of the Kurdish police force known as Asayish, which guard the camps.
It was not clear what her nationality was, but al-Ofeidly said she was one of several people attacked or killed by fellow detainees.
A Syrian man with an amputated leg who moved about on crutches was also stabbed to death by female detainees after being accused of apostasy, the commander said.
In July a jihadi bride reportedly stabbed a guard and escaped after asking to leave the camp to do some shopping….
