Dear Editor: Death to Apostates
2006-07-06
It is forbidden in Islam to convert to any other religion. The penalty is death. There is no disagreement about it. Islam is being embraced by people of other faiths all the time. They should know they can embrace Islam, but cannot get out. This rule is not made by Muslims; it is the supreme law of God.

It seemed odd to find this in a letter to the editor of the Lansing State Journal, but not odd that it originated in East Lansing.

#11  The next time anyone here has any contact with a convert who gushes about how wonderful life with muslims really is, how great their muslim family life is, or praises their non-muslim family for accepting their change of faith, ask them this?

What would all your wonderful muslim friends and family do if you decided to leave islam? Would they accept your decision? Or would all these people that you think are so great now shun you and treat you like you were dead?

All of these modern wetern women who "freely" choose Islam are married off to muslim men as quickly as possible so they can start having muslim babies. If she ever thinks about leaving later, or if it ever dawned on her that the more loving examples in her life come from her devoted non-muslim family, she would immediately be faced with the choice to stay a muslim or lose her kids, her husband, and all of her muslim inlaws and friends. That is one pillar to islam's success. They dont have to kill apostates. Any potential apostate can see all too clearly that they would lose the love of all the people dear to them if they followed their conscience. Most people are not strong enough to walk out on their family for any reason.

Keep on telling the truth. For all the desparate people mesmerized by this "faith" in spite of the truth abou screaming in their face, there have to be hundreds turned off by it. Time will eventually slow its advance by free will choice. After that point, we can more than easily kick the tails of any muslims who resort to the sword. we've already proven that.

#9  2b,

one of the allures to go to Michigan State for us guys from the Detroit area was the lack of muslims and prettier girls then UofM could ever deliver. Lansing had a miniscule muzzy population if any. Ann Arbor had all the weirdos as well. Maybe things have changed in the past 10-12 years.

#8  Islam will become a religion when "submission to the will of God" no longer means "submission to the will of Man."

Until then, Islam is just a cult: a primitive, barbaric cult that glorifies murder of non-members, slavery, and ritual abuse of females.

-I wonder who told them this bullshit.

#3  The response to such vicious nonsense must be plain. Either accept the law of the land, including religious pluralism and the right of any individual to leave his current faith, or leave. American law is for all -- you do not get to pick some laws and disobey others.

#2  I liked this part too,

Please do not ask us Muslims to pick some rules and disregard other rules. Muslims are supposed to embrace Islam in its totality.

#1  Henry Ford didn't do us any favors.

"As early as 1910 plans were made to construct a mosque in the Detroit suburb of Highland Park, which at that time was the location of the Ford automotive plant and the center of the area's Muslim population."
