See this video by ‘Let the Quran Speak‘ in response to my assertion that Sharia law demands the death penalty for apostates.

It’s not true says the Islamic ‘scholar.’

Apostates can rest easy now – or maybe not…

By the way, to find the verses and hadith that relate to apostasy and the death penalty, see Ibn Warraq’s piece here.

Does that bloke look like some actor or other? His face looks kind of familiar somehow and I'm damn sure I've never seen him before Also someone really needs to learn how to do quality compression, clear sound recording and audio-video sync

    He kind of reminds me of Ted Haggard, I don't know if that's who you were thinking of.

I'm left with similar feelings as after hearing Christian apologists discuss the topic of slavery.

    You mean that waffly "Well it was a different culture, it was appropriate for the time period, its okay when its commanded by god WOAH LOOK OVER THERE!!! *Runs away*" kind of feeling?

So the verses in question are ambiguous because the author didn't anticipate modern society? Or am I missing something deeper about this political traitor concept he is putting forwards?
