Question for Muslim Believers…..?
Question by YahooAnswersIsFun: Question for muslim believers…..?
I’ve only gotten one straight answer on this one before.
would like to know the opinion from a general group of Muslim people.
some may be aware of the Lina Joy case. For those who are not:
Lina Joy is a convert from Islam to Christianity. In 1998 she filed to have her religion changed from Islam to Christianity on her national id card to gain legal recognition and also remove the barrier to her marrying her Christian fiance (not legal under Malaysian law)
There have been many problems: Malay Sharia courts punishe apostates with forced “rehabilitation” or imprisonment.
In a majority verdict delivered on the May 30, 2007, the Federal Court rejected her appeal.
Do you believe she should be allowed to officially change her religion? with no punishment for aposty?
As a Sharia judge, would you grant her request?
As a federal judge would you grant her request?
If it were it were up to you, would you allow 2 people to marry regardless of what religion is on their ID c
The ruling affects about 15,000 Malaysians who want to be able to live openly as Christians. “The decision leaves many Malay converts in a perpetual state of limbo,” said a Muslim lawyer who has represented apostates in court
good to hear, I found that most muslims I spoke with were not really willing to say islamic law should not be enforced on people, but also felt that it was wrong to deny basic human rights, so they did not give a straight answer.
Good to be reminded there are still sane people, peace
The problem is they want to circumvate the islamic courts, because of the punishments for aposty and the belief that as a non muslim (even a former one) should not have to answer to islamic law.
Malaysian law allows for freedom of religion, but also has islamic law for muslims only.
If she was a chinese christian who maybe wanted to become hindu…it would be no problem, as islamic law does not apply to them, but since she was born muslim she must also answer to islamic law
I think most malays would agree also, the problem is too many people seem to think otherwise, what can be done to really change this problem that effects most countries with islamic majorities, even secular ones? I would like to see more muslims speak out and confront the sharia junkies. thanks, peace
also when I said malays, I was refering to ethinic malays who are officially muslim. about 40 – 45% of the country is non-muslim, and islamic law does not apply to them

Changing religion is in the hearth not in document. If she has already changed her mind, we cannot call her Muslim any more. For papers and documents Islam does not care that Much, it is that country’s choice
