Will Mainstream American Islam Condemn Pastor Nadarkhani’s ‘Apostasy’ Death Sentence?

Big Peace  "The quintessence of a contemporary Shiite pronouncement on apostasy in Islam (which cites Khomeini’s treatise extensively) appearing in Kayhan International, March 1986, stated openly"
In Islam, apostasy is a flagrant sin and guilt for which certain punishments have been specified in Shari’a (Islamic law). Apostasy means, to renounce the religion or a religious principle after accepting it. In other words, one’s departure from Islam to atheism is called apostasy. A person who abandons Islam and adopts atheism is called an apostate . . …Apostasy is the escape from the pattern of creation and nature and that is why the word “voluntary” has been adopted for such an apostate…Can the penalty of escaping from the path and pattern of nature and creation be anything other than annihilation? This is the same thing that has been crystallized in the penal code of Islam. The anti-apostasy punishments of Islam are proper laws to rescue mankind from falling into the cesspool of treason, betrayal, and disloyalty and to remind the human being of his ideological commitments.
Youcef Nadarkhani and His Wife Fatemah Pasindedah

..."At each hearing he was commanded to recant and each time he refused. Two hearings were held after the verbal determination was made by the judges. There is a serious concern that he could be executed at any time because according to Sharia Law you are to be given three days to recant if you are an apostate. He was commanded to recant three straight days after the judges made their determination. The attorney’s for pastor Youcef are stating that, by law, the written verdict must be delivered within seven days. "....
During one hearing he was told to recant and he responded, “You ask me to recant. Recant means to return. What do you wish me to return to? The blasphemy that I was in before Christ?” The judges responded, “To the religion of your ancestors, Islam.” Youcef replied, “I cannot.”

Oh how we go through life... choosing to worship God or not...living as we please without any concern as to what is right or wrong until something goes wrong...
then we cry out to God or at times become angry at Him... If we were placed in this man's place - what would we do? Recant - or stand firm in the Faith.... This man and others needs our prayers... stand by him - hold up his arms....

Alas Bill, they cannot and remain Muslims...

The Koran clearly states that those who leave Islam and refuse to return - which the pastor did - carries a death sentence.

Heroic man, that's for sure! I hope when I'm up against Death, I'll have the same courage not to abandon God and Country in order to save my life.

Please post article on my blog, as we are doing the job the Lamestream won't.
