3-9- Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out - Ibn Warraq

Ibn Warraq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibn Warraq (born 1946) is the pen name of a secularist author of Pakistani origin and founder of the Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Society and a senior research fellow at the Center for Inquiry[1][2] [3] focusing on Qur'anic criticism. [4][5]

Warraq gathered world notice through his controversial historiographies of the early centuries of the Islamic timeline and has published works which question mainstream conceptions of the period. He is the author of seven books, including Why I Am Not a Muslim (1995), The Origins of the Koran (1998), and Quest for the Historical Muhammad, (2000). He has also spoken at the United Nations "Victims of Jihad" conference organized by the International Humanist and Ethical Union alongside speakers such as Bat Ye'or, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Simon Deng.[6]

The first part of the book presents an overview of the theological-juridical underpinnings of apostasy in Islam based upon the Quran, the hadiths and written opinions from classical schools of Islamic jurisprudence as well as contemporary written pronouncements of Islamic jurists.

The next section presents the history of the application of Islamic jurisdiction on apostates documenting notable cases from the early centuries of Islam, such as those of freethinkers Ibn al-Rawandi and Ar-Razi (865-925), or skeptical poets such as Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) and Hafiz (1320-89), or Sufi (mystic) practitioners including Mansur Al-Hallaj, executed in 922 and As-Suhrawardi executed in 1191, and the atheist Sulayman al-Ma'arri (973-1057).

This followed by numerous case studies covering modern day apostasies and conversions out of Islam trends throughout the world.

The later part contains testimonials of born Muslim apostates including the ex-Muslim Ali Sina and other western converts.

Muhammad (Pig's foreskin be upon him) is the worst thing that happened to humanity. He should have just stayed in that cave in Hira instead of causing death and destruction to all "infidels" since 600A.D.

It's good to see someone besides myself, calling Mohamed on his motives to control people. I often compare Mohamed to a glorified pimp.

@pello777 >I know someone who has urge to kill all Muslims, but he stays in his room and watch TV after I recommended him it is safe and the best alternative. Why kill those who already are; every living sentient being has freedom to be what they ought to be.

What you call a man who marries a rich women 20 older at age 25 and then marries a 9 yrs old girl at age 60 ? Also murders his scribe who plagiarized the so called "the book" from old/new testaments plus verses that are straight from hell.

Muhammad = Jim Jones

I am getting sick of idiots attacking Islam and giving Christianity as the alternative. The truth is you are both fucked up beyond belief, the world is sick of religion.

Soon an army will amass that holds no fictitious deity as its savior. Those who want to kill and control under a deities name can all go to the hell they invented, this army of free people will send them there.

So to everyone with psychosis of the mind, GET OFF OUR FUCKING PLANET!!...lol

Why is he a Satan? Because he questions islam...no ideology is beyond questioning

[ieatpilli]

Please dont slump all religons together...islam VS Christianity, or Judiasim, or Buhdism, or Taoism (although idk to much about Taoism) or any other faith is incomparable...

[ieatpilli]

His point is simple....islam as an ideology is essentially "evil". Something that is better than islam is Christ....why dont you read about the TRUE life of Jesus instead of the one you read....the true Jesus is JESUS CHRIST

[WHaAteVaA]

Poor man....he is really unlucky,n he deserves it....
