We are a part of the problem.

As much as I hate the Zionists, but still, can't help to think that perhaps a part of the reason that this continue to happen is us Muslims ourselves.. We, Muslims in general. Apart from just simply contributing a few dollars, temporarily boycotting McDonalds and Starbucks when an attack happens, just how many of us did actually try to understand the whole situation or even try to think of a solution.. When it is in the news everyone suddenly becomes outspoken, once the news dies.. our world goes back to normal.

For us. Only for us, not for them..

Am speaking, with myself included. Shameful isn't it, if we really do think about it..

Twisted.

I do not support this side of the political world, nor do I support the other side, in fact, if I have a choice to do so I would have gathered some of my trusted friends and create our own party.. hehe..

However this time around, honestly, I do think her words were twisted, taken advantage of.. It is debatable, but I truly believe she did not mean it that way. She is just saying that there should not be an exception for the verse, every one should be included, and surely Malays are not an exception. How can anyone say Malays are excluded when the Malays are merely a race, not even mentioned in the Qur'an.. But however once you accept Islam as a belief, you should be tied to it, just as one is tied to the rules and regulations of the state, and if one does not follow, of course one is punishable..  I do believe this is what she meant, and if she had time and had furthermore explain it would have been different. Wallahualam.

Anyway, for further understanding on apostacy, I thought this was a nice explanation, though I feel like the answer only answers the question of why apostacy is punishable, not why they should be killed:

And this, explains better on the main question, I believe:

And back to the Nurul Izzah case, besides the main debate here, I like her explanation on LGBT..which I believe should be the basis for all things.. I am tied to my believes, I chose to be tied to it, we all are free to choose what we want to believe, but regardless of that, it doesn't give you or I the right to unjustly treat them or those who has a different believe.
