Thank you for respecting my right to believe whatever I choose to believe in.

I don't thank you for the assumption that I haven't read both the books you mention, I have and others of the same kith and kin. They left me unconvinced by their arguments. I reciprocate your respect, you can of course choose not to believe in whatever you like!

I am not sure I understand your argument. And I am glad and not surprised that you and many other Muslims condemn killing people for being an apostate.

But, you admit, do you not, that there is a debate within the Muslim Community about the merits and legitimacy of killing apostates? In much the same way I suppose there is a debate within the Church of England about the merits and legitimacy of female Bishops.

I merely asked who the people arguing for killing apostates actually are? Your reply, (Ignoring the confusion caused by the "DO NOT do this" rant.) Seems to indicate that you are saying that these people are not Muslim, which appears to contradict your premise that the debate is within (your words, not mine) the Muslim Community. If they are not Muslim, but are within the Muslim community then who are they?

I ask this because I am genuinely astonished that any one can argue that slaying someone for leaving or changing their religion can ever be a good thing. I would have hoped that this debate would have been concluded many many years ago.

I am not Robert Spencer's cheerleader.

Cheers, Eels

First, this issue is debated within the Muslim community

Why? It would seem abundantly, obviously, crystal clear that putting someone to death for leaving or changing a religion is always wrong.

Who are the people arguing otherwise?

Yuk, Just Yuk.

Have you any idea how vulgar, patronising and asinine that sort of remark is? It, and those like it add nothing to any argument. And if you are labouring under the delusion that it is funny, and the stupid emoticom addendum suggests you are, then you are very very wrong.

It is good to be able to laugh at ones Religion. I remember sitting with a very wise and gentle and older American surgeon once, late in the evening after a particluarly long and hot operation somewhere remote and middle eastern. It had ben a hard day and after just sitting there for a while we both started laughing, apropos nothing much. "D'you know what the 11th commandment is?" He asked when we had done. "Nope" I replied, my BBC English accent, contrasting his Texan accent. "Don't take it all too seriously." That has stuck with me. As much as I love Jesus, and I do, I love laughing too. God's gift. And Bigus Dickus is too. (and his wife - )

With all possible means? Don't be a fool. It is precisely because there are things I wouldn't do, even if it costs me my life, that my has life meaning.
