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.”
“He wounded him with a knife because he was a Muslim and was baptized a Christian,” translated from “Τον τραυμάτισε με μαχαίρι γιατί ήταν μουσουλμάνος και βαπτίστηκε χριστιανός,” Law & Order (scroll down), November 24, 2023:
A 56-year-old Egyptian was stabbed twice, one in the temple and one in the hand by a 38-year-old Afghan yesterday (23/11) in the evening in Colonos.
Police officers who immediately arrived at the scene managed to arrest the perpetrator and found the knife in his possession.
The victim claimed, according to information, that the attacker’s motivation was racist. He characteristically stated that he injured him because he was a Muslim and was baptized a Christian!
The victim was taken to the “Red Cross” where he was given first aid and left.

What will it take to get rid of this vermin
It looks like the world governments just don’t care
Think about you children growing up, and stabbed to death
And then this person getting out, to stab another child and another child
When does the government ever step in
What about the filthy students in college who scream From the River to the Sea
I think a clitorectomy might change minds ,,,, without anaesthesia
Can you imagine a course in intersectionality requiring prooof of a clitorectomy to advance understanding

The most extraordinary thing about this story is this: that there WAS a victim, to be attacked. That there WAS an apostate. That a human being steeped from birth in the death-cult of murderous macho supremacism that is Islam.. awakened. And chose.. Christianity. And if of Egyptian background.. then who knows? perhaps, long ago, or not so long ago, some of his forebears were Coptic Christians.. a kidnapped and force-‘converted’ (read, terrorised and enslaved) Coptic girl, perhaps, amongst his grandmothers or great-grandmothers? If so.. then per miraculum his family line after a long, long sojourn in the deep darkness of the underworld has just come back up again into the light. Those of us who are Christians must pray for the man who was stabbed, that despite what he has just suffered, he will refuse to be intimidated: that he will persevere and be firmly established in his new faith, and be an encouragement to the church in Greece.
