"nabeel must be executed.."

It's great to see the true face of Islam every once in a while. When listening to westernized Muslim apologists, one might almost believe them when they say that Islam isn't advocating a death penalty for apostates (or that this is something that should only apply in Muslim countries). While this comment by AfghDude is just the opinion of one person, it's noteworthy that the votes it has received show that more people agree than disagree with it.

Why would you leave Islam.

"Muhammad actually is guilty of all you accuse him"

He is. Read the quran, the haddith, & bukhari. But I'm sure if you have, you'll see my point is completely valid. Is that any way for a "messenger of god" to act? Taking men's wives because they "pleased him"? Telling people to drink his urine to be healed?? Claiming the devil pees in your ear if you sleep during prayer?!

Do you even think about the absurdity you're reading?

"Prophets life is an example of morality "

Do understand what morality is?

A man in his 50's marrying a 9 year old girl. Immoral

Having many, MANY wives. Immoral

Promoting injustice against Jews, Christians, & woman. Immoral

etc.

And enough with the "self-defense" excuse to justify violence. No one's buying it.

I don't understand why you argue without thinking, let alone considering the facts...

[y2chris2000]

"we dont know weather Jesus died"

Yes we do. There are secular accounts of His persecution & crucifixion, aside from Biblical account that verify His resurrection. Just because YOU don't know, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

"Christ didn't fulfill any clear cut prophecy as far as I know"

Then you don't know very much. There's 400+ Messianic O.T. prophecies! Let me know if you want a list =)

[y2chris2000]

Can you prove an angel told mohamed about islam? "Save your time because you can't. "

You're arguments are extremely illogical and immature. Grow up

[Tchado1000]

@y2chris2000

Now lets turn the table on you , lets say for the same of argument that Muhammad actually is guilty of all you accuse him , then why do you believe in the God of OT who is worse ? Do you believe that such a deity sends his "only son" to die for you ?
