We have seen so many people convert to Islam and turn to jihad violence. So it is perhaps not surprising that a man who leaves Islam would receive threats of violence as well.
The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”
Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”
“‘People from Muslim community are threatening to kill me’: Qasim receives death threats after voluntarily converting to Hinduism,” OpIndia, December 25, 2020:
A 28-year-old Muslim man by the name of Qasim Khan has been receiving death threats from his own community members after he willingly left Islam and embraced Hinduism.
While talking to the media, he said, “My name was Qasim and after I converted people from Muslim community are threatening to kill me & my family. I need police protection.” Aligarh Superintendent of Police (Crime) Arvind Kumar informed that a case has been registered based on his complaint. He added that Qasim is being threatened by some people and that security has been deployed outside his house in Aligarh.
As per reports, Qasim had married 24-year-old Hindu woman named Anita Kumari in 2012. He met Anita when his father had taken a construction workshop on lease from her father. They fell in love and got hitched 8 years ago. Reportedly, Qasim Although the girl’s family was not happy with the marriage, the duo married as per Hindu traditions in 2013. The couple, who resides in Aligarh, has two kids, 7-year-old Kasifa and 4-year-old Ayaz.
He had earlier raised security concerns. Qasim said, “I had sought security from the district administration but they didn’t get back to me. I request the government again, I need protection.” His wife Anita had conceded that there was no pressure on her to convert to Islam or not follow Hindu rituals….

this makes sense since islam is not a religion rather an militant invasion and occupying force – and what is the usual punishment for military military deserters?
Keith O says
This guy almost sounds surprised that he would become an endangered species after converting.
It takes balls to pull the plug on Islam and he did it for a reason that Mudslimes have no chance of understanding, it’s called LOVE, a concept that seems to be completely missing from Islam.
I am surprised that it has taken this long for the local Mudslimes to get brave enough to do anything, maybe it’s that they feel they now have the numbers to intimidate and bully the locals.
Qasim seems to simply be a decent man who had the misfortune of being born into this death cult but then had the good fortune to have his eyes and heart opened by the right woman. Wish them all well.

How pathetic Islam truly is.
Minus the threat of death for leaving Islam, even though family estrangement would still occur in many instances (because the rest of the family remaining Muslim are themselves unknowingly deficient), there would still be a mass exodus from Islam in sundry Islamic nations and all across the globe because once one studies Islam in detail with an open mind, assuming nothing a la Descartes, there is no way a decent, intelligent person with common sense can’t help but conclude that Islam is a scam of the first degree. Indeed, Islam is arguably the longest-lived scam in history. Personally, it gets my vote here for #1.
So, it is quite understandable, though so sad and tragic, that Islam must threaten death for those who leave this warped faith PRECISELY because it is so ridiculous, and it’s right there in its theological blueprint—in the Koran, Sura 4:89, and in the hadiths, Bukhari Hadith 9.84.57—and as confirmed to this very day by every major school of theology, Sunni or Shiite.
How else to keep “people in line” and accepting the voluminous rot in Islam, examples being the sanctioning of rape and the child-like conception of the afterlife, unless death in this world is the punishment for rejecting the “received wisdom?” Oh yeah, how pathetic the Islamic faith is. Utterly disgraceful.

Absolutely 100% true.

Islam punishes apostasy by death and rewards jihadi plunderer with four fifth of the loot.
Those who die on jihad are promised instant access to the islamic paradise where they are to be rewarded with streams overflowing with wine a received instant gratification from self replenishing virgins and unblemished young boys.
See the Qur’an and the Hadith.

A person with a good heart cannot stay in such evil as islam. moslims who actually like what islam is, are not good at heart. This poor man has ‘offended’ their evil sensibilities and he must be punished.
They give proof of just how evil the pervert moslims worship truly was. Had the mass-murdering, raper of children, lying son of satan the devil, sack of slug slime been assured of his follower’s loyalty, he would not have had to write down the death penalty for leaving. He found pleasure in those things, but he was also aware that not everyone would, and his ego would not stand for anyone leaving him.
The greater the number of men and women leaving islam, the more the Truth of how evil it is becomes known. Not only by the ex-moslims sharing what they know, but by the evil reactions of those who try to murder those leaving.
Infidel says
Aligarh is one of the muslim ghettos in India. If this person converted to Hinduism, he should have taken his wife and kids out to some other part of the state
Anyway, I do appreciate, aside from his conversion, his not converting his Hindu wife to islam when he married her
The muslim reaction to his decision – no surprise!
latha says
The children Kasifa & Ayaz are converted to Islam.
Infidel says
The kids were born when he was still muslim but she was Hindu: in India, the dad’s identity and religion prevails. If the parents are now both Hindu, what sense does it make? So that they don’t get bullied in school, assuming they go to school in Aligarh?
If he’s converted, he should convert his kids as well, and move out into a more Hindu area.
peter says
Agree! Aligarh is like a mini Pakistan in India For sure it is a hell hole for any body other than a mudslime.

Thanks for that backgrfound, Infidel. The family *definitely* needs to move. They should nof have to, of course–but they will never be safe if they don’t.

By the end of next week we enter a new year – the year 2021.
A year when a religion like Hinduism which is pagan is even more desirable in a western nation than Islam, a supposed “monotheistic” religion.
Infidel says
I doubt that there was any time in history when Hinduism was less desirable than islam in any western nation. Or for that matter, eastern nation as well
Granted, I’m a Hindu, but I’d say the same for other polytheistic or atheistic religions, like Buddhism, Shintoism, Shamanism, Daoism and so on. Heck, even Scientology is more desirable than islam: I’ll bet that L Ron Hubbard couldn’t get away w/ half the stuff that ole Mo got away w/
peter says
Even Communism and Marxism are way better than Islam because they do not pretend that these are divine providence but rather entirely man made . Islam has been greatest scourge and hoax perpetrated on the face of earth responsible for world wide misery and deaths of millions and millions of people around the globe by thousand cuts .God I hate Islam and mohamed !
gravenimage says
Agreed, Infidel.
Infidel says
Shastra, there’s no reason to bunch Christianity and Judaism w/ islam. Particularly since islam twists the story of Abraham, and does not belong to the same ‘Abrahamic’ genre that the other 2 belong
Uma says
Good Morning,
Indeed a daredevil and now honoring his choice, the Hindu organization and nearby Hindus have to protect and take care of him.

Islam can’t be such a nice thing if they kill you when you try to leave. One wonders if the religion would have grown as much if its members weren’t murdered when they left it.
Infidel says
Note also that some countries like Indonesia classify muslim as a default if one doesn’t list a different religion in the census: there are certainly not 280 million muslims there. It’s a story similar to Iran. In Malaysia, Malays are automatically and legally classified as muslim: they’d have to flee that country to a non-muslim one if they want to convert to something else
There are far fewer muslims worldwide than meets the eye
gravenimage says
Also true. Then, orthodox Muslims consider Black Muslims (Nation of Islam) to be heretical–but are happy to have them counted when they refer to the Muslim population of the United States.
OLD GUY says
Thats all islam knows and teaches, hate and murder. How proud they must feel being part of a religion that will kill you for not following their religious belief.

India: Man converts from Islam to Hinduism, now ‘people from Muslim community are threatening to kill me’

Hideous–but no surprise. This man needs to move to an area not infested with Muslims.

Islam is nothing more than a criminal organization.
