There Goes My Rights...

Pinoy Atheist: So what will happen if the Philippines becomes an Islamic State? Will it endanger my basic human rights?

Muslim: No. Everything will be normal. No one will force you to be a Muslim. We respect your human rights.

Pinoy Atheist: Ah... OK. So is it true that when you leave Islam and changed to another religion, you will get the death penalty?

Muslim: Yes. According to sharia law, If you change religion, we will kill you.

There goes my basic human rights down the drain.

["2171. Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "The blood of a Muslim, who confesses that Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (there is no god but Allâh), cannot be shed except in three cases: 1. Life for life (in cases of intentional murders without right i.e., in Al-Qis̩âs̩ – Law of Equality in punishment); 2. A married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse; and 3. The one who turns renegade from Islâm (apostate) and leaves the group of Muslims. [9:17-O.B]"
