“It is necessary to kill for apostasy to avert the evil of war, not as punishment for the act of disbelief. Because the greatest punishment for that is with Allah. This (the punishment of killing) is for those who come with war, and that is the man. This is because the Prophet prohibited killing women, and the reason is because they do not fight. Because of this (reasoning) we say: If a woman apostate has an opinion and a following (for the sake of war), then she is killed. Not for her apostasy, but because she was spreading corruption in the earth. However, (the female apostate) is imprisoned, because she has refrained from performing the right of Allah after accepting it, like one is imprisoned for (violating) the rights of others.” (Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahid al-Siwasi, aka Ibn al-Hummam, Fath al-Qadir)
“Ibn Abbas said: Do not kill women if they apostatize from Islam, but imprison them and call them to Islam, and coerce them upon it.” (Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Musannaf)
“Christian Woman in Somalia Beaten, Confined for Converting,” Morning Star News, October 7, 2026:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – The Muslim uncle of a 20-year-old woman in Somalia has confined her to his home, where he has beaten her and deprived her of adequate food and water for converting to Christianity, sources said.
Mariam Fatuma has lost significant weight and become noticeably pale, raising concerns about her health, sources said. She has lived with her uncle in a town in southern Somalia undisclosed for security reasons since her parents separated years ago.
Fatuma put her faith in Christ on Feb. 15 following contact with an outreach ministry. She was at home on Sept. 27 when her uncle’s daughter discovered her praying in Christ’s name, severely rebuked her and told her not to speak of Christ to other family members, sources said.
When Fatuma began crying over the rebuke, other family members learned of her conversion. Her uncle learned of her faith that day and viewed it as an act of disrespect toward him, his family and the wider Muslim community, sources said.
Fatuma has been confined to a room at her uncle’s home since Sept. 27 under life-threatening conditions, the sources said, and he has told her she will remain there until her father can be reached and consulted….
The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to mainstream schools of Islamic jurisprudence. An Islamic extremist group in Somalia, Al Shabaab, is allied with Al Qaeda and adheres to the teaching.

Their country their rules. But why oh why do we keep inviting them into ours?

Islam claims, “there is no compulsion in religion”, an absolute lie, as this Christian woman experiences and as millions of women have experienced since the inception of Islam. Only in Islam does the notion of beating a wife into compliance or loyalty exist with a claimed blessing of Diety.
Islam history: Sneaking up on a village in the early morning to sack, rob, kill the men, and rape the, “many fine women”, yes indeed, where is the compulsion? (sarc)

If the Somalis all kill each other in Africa, that would be a net gain. And it would be a net gain if they offed each other in Minneapolis and Lewiston, ME. But, the fighting Somalis in the US inevitably injure or kill non-Muzzies in their turf wars. Trump has to find a way to deport every last one of them back to Somalia. They are a drag on our economy, they are a hotbed of criminal activity, and a large percentage of them are jihadists that want to kill U.S. Americans and sink the U.S.
Maybe they would be better off in Somalia’s pirate corps, where they can attack a US Navy destroyer. [The only thing better than that is when Somali pirates attached a Russian navy ship.]

“undisclosed for security reasons ” Whose “security”? The young lady certainly has none.
Her scuzziemuzzie uncle is murdering her slowly. and her female cousin helped put her in that situation.
May all who are harming this girl reap what they sow…and the sooner, the better.
From MN….where this scum would be free to defraud and pray in the streets while his fellow scuzzies shoot up the towns.

“Former MN state trooper tears into Dems as Somali gang violence terrorizes Minnesota: Where is Ilhan Omar?”
Send them all home and we can hope this young woman can find freedom.

Wonder if beating was the only punishment?
