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.”
“Muslim Relatives of New Christian Break into Home to Kill Him,” Morning Star News, July 22, 2025:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim relatives of a Christian convert in eastern Uganda on Friday (July 18) forced their way into his locked home and killed him, sources said.
As he had done since accepting Christ in April, Kasajja Abdul Maliki of Kaliro village, Kaliro District had locked himself in his house during Friday mosque service to pray and study the Bible when his Muslim relatives burst in and stabbed him to death, his niece said. He was 37.
Maliki, who was unmarried, had begun receiving questions from his family members about his absence from mosque prayers earlier this month – he responded that he was getting training as a welder – and a week before his death, a Muslim neighbor informed relatives that he was seen leaving a church premise, sources said.
His niece, identified only as Shamina, said that on Friday (July 18) at about 3 p.m. the relatives heard Maliki praying loudly inside his house “in the name of Issa [Jesus], petitioning Issa to save the family members.”
“I then alerted the family members about Maliki’s strange way of praying, who hurriedly went to his house,” said Shamina, daughter of Maliki’s older brother Lubega Kalimu. “They found the house locked as Maliki was still praying. They pushed the door very hard and got inside and found Maliki still praying with the Bible placed beside him.”
They picked up the Bible and tore it to pieces, she said.
“As we were inside the house, other members of the family arrived and were so angry and started shouting the Islamic slogan, ‘Allah Akbar [God is greater],’ and began striking Maliki with kicks and blows,” Shamina told Morning Star News. “Soon more members of the family arrived with knives and sticks led by my father, Kalimu, and Sempa Arafat.”
As Maliki screamed for help, Kalimu “with a sharp knife pierced him through his chest,” she said….

He is visiting Ugandan right now to introduce his new “wife” who he” secretly married in Feb. 2025 in NYC” according to his own words to his relatives there still living in Ugandan? One more question mark next to a man running for mayor of NYC that promises free public transportation ,total rent control and cheap food for all at government run supermarkets .There will also be unicorns ,balrogs , and Ents at see at the city run zoos on watch. If you say it is impossible to deliver the BS he is selling you are a racist .

This is the true face of Islam, intolerance and terrorism, against an apostate family members and all Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111; 58:22, etc.). Allah in Quran 58:22 says, “You will not find a people who believe in Allah and in the last day who will be friends to who opposes Allah and his messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their nearest relative. ”
VIOLENT MUSLIMS are the COMBAT SOLDIERS while the PEACEFUL MUSLIMS are the SUPPORT SOLDIERS for Allah in this MUSLIM WAR against Non-Muslims(Quran 9:5,29, 111 and more). Islam champions Muslim acts of slaughter against Non-Muslims FOR NOT BECOMING MUSLIMS as Allah in Quran 8:12 says, “When your lord revealed to the angels: ‘I am with you so make firm those who believed[Muslims]. I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who became infidels[Non-Muslims]. So strike above their necks(decapitation), and strike off(chop off) every finger from them.’”

Apostates from Islam – whether they choose to become Christians, atheists, Buddhists, whatever – are the bravest of the brave.
they take their lives in their hands. Even within *western* countries they are in danger, often from their own families.
WHENEVER one encounters a friend or family member or work colleague – non-Muslim – rabbiting on about the wonderfulness of Islam and how nice their Muslim friends are and how horrible ‘Islamophobia’ is… make sure to remind them that *orthodox mainline Islam* decrees that anyone who leaves Islam must be *killed*.
That in some places they are not, does not alter the fact that they are supposed to be killed; that this is traditional, orthodox, by -the-book mainstream ISLAM.
And that apostates in many places, right now, are in hiding, even within Western countries; that the sharia assassins can and do come after them, to kill them; indeed, their own *families* may attempt to kill them.
In the book ‘My Name is Hannah Shah’, a young woman who left Islam in the UK describes what happened when her family discovered she had converted to Christianity. Her father – an imam in a town in northern England – sent a lynch mob to attack the house in which she was staying!! They tried to batter down the door with an axe! Luckily they did not succeed.
When Patrick Sookhdeo, founder of Barnabas Fund, converted from Islam to Christianity, in his late teens, he was lucky.. his family merely threw him out onto the streets in the clothes he stood up in.
Sookdheo himself has written a book called “Freedom to Believe: Challenging Islam’s Apostasy Law”; it ought to be required reading for all who’ve been fooled into thinking Islam is benign / misrepresented or that a mosque in the next street over, is a colourful symbol of cultural diversity…
Apostate Ibn Warraq lives in hiding, **within the West**. So does ‘Bosch Fawstein’.
The very fact of the apostasy law – and the fact that it is NOT a ‘dead letter’ but well and truly put into practice officially or unofficially, in many places – ought to cure the idiots of their admiration for Islam.. because it places Islam in the same league as entities like the Mafia…. once in, you stay in, or they kill you.
The mainstream practitioners of the other major world religions, today, do NOT send out hit-men to assassinate those who have left the fold…ONLY Islam…
The apostasy law alone OUGHT to be the ‘deal-breaker’ that puts an end, full-stop, to Muslim immigration, the approval of mosque building, etc.
WPM says
Islam is like Nazism people in Germany before and during the war join to move up in social status ,get better jobs sold their souls to a devil religion like political movement that is like true Islam .Many educated middle and upper middle class people bought into it as well as less educated poorer people. Islam is a supremist religions and policial movement that will not tolerant other beliefs or customs if it gets the upper hand. It has over 1200 year track record against every other belief system ,rule of laws and customs of destroying the “others”. This every cultural ,every religion ,every belief system is good at its heart is just so much BS.
JS says
The Quran reads like a war manual against Jews, Christians, and all kuffers/ infidels. Their prophet, who they believe is the “most perfect human” and should be followed and imitated is enough that it should be made illegal.
Any person that follows a book which instructs for their followers to “kill the unbelievers”, “strike their necks” and more – should NOT have any right to be in this nation or even the world!
Why does Ramadan and Friday night mosq.ue turn out excessive violence? Because they are reading about the calls to violence that come from their book, their prophet, and the thing they call their god.
It’s all so simple, yet we allow them to call that a religion and the benefits that comes with it.
Then in turn they can kill us with it.

And his niece says all of this demon violence so matter-of-factly….she’s a ghoul as are the rest of the relatives. They will soon reap for all of the evil they have sown.
Jesus will keep His promises to this brave young man for his exercise of faith.
somehistory says
Uganda supposedly has freedom of religion. So will these murderous ghouls….including the snitching niece….be arrested and face murder charges?
JS says
It’s probably past that point, and perhaps they should engage in a different means of justice.
arthur facteau says
Seems to me here in America we are about to go he way of other countries that have given over to soft jihad, if New York allows this Muslim Mayor in, then it will begin here like it did in London, and it will be the start the beginning of the end for this country. his has be greatly worried.
Andrew Blackadder says
If you wish to kill me because I do not wish to follow your god then I assume your God is not very strong in his faith if he thinks my leaving him hurts his feeling so deeply that he wants me to be murdered by his flock so then I suggest your god is shallow and evil lacking compassion and love.
allah aint very akbar if he cant stand somebody suggesting that islam is nothing more than a Fascist Religious Cult of Death.
islamism is the latest version of nazism for the 21st century.
OLD GUY says
Islam is just sick. Calling Islam a religion is a mistake. Thats like calling the KKK a black religious organization. Any group that promotes violence, rape and murder is NOT a religious organization. The correct designation would be a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION.
