Quote:Sura 2, The Quan:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh

( 256 )   There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

Taghut = disbelief

The verse can't be clearer: isn't this identical to the secular rule that prevents the enforcing of belief on anybody?

Freedom of belief is guaranteed in Islam under the protection of this verse. The Quran is God's word; so no Muslim has the right to cross it.

To bad it's not Freedom from belief. You should probably stop trying to defend the Islam.

Actually, the negative sentences are all derived from the Sunni and Shiite Hadith -especially the sentences about apostasy-.

The Quran must be taken as a single book, as a single unit; it's very hard to cherry-pick unless you want to make a mess out of your interpretation. It's not a long book, and it is very very clear and straightforward.

I'll say Muslims need to reject the Hadith and start focusing on the revelation of God (i.e the Quran); but so many of the takers of benefit from the mess of following the Hadith would oppose this.

The Quran never said that apostasy should be punished with death; ever.
On the other hand, all the wikipedia article provided is the opprisive actions of Muslim governments of today.

There are no verse in the Quran saying that apostasy is punished by death (across its 600 pages).

There are "negative sentences" in magic book too. We can skip the arguments from our different perspectives of good and bad and just allow...for the sake of conversation.....that this content exists. It's existence isn't (and cannot be) disputed, you just think that everyone has those "negative sentences" wrong.

Unless the sunni or the shia literally wrote that shit into magic book - distancing yourself from either sect is irrelevant.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I can’t see that it matters all that much what the Quran has to say about the punishment for apostasy. The brute fact is that the murder of Muslim apostates has been carried out and condoned by Muslims throughout the Islamic world. 

It’s kind of like the murder of ‘witches’ in the West. That the verse ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’ is a horrific mistranslation doesn’t absolve Christian churches of the brutal murders of thousands of people over hundreds of years. The responsibility for their murders lies with the actions Christian believers, just as that for the butchery of Muslim apostates rests firmly on the shoulders of Islam.

As if the muslims in power ever read your book or uphold/enforce the parts of the book that does not suit their objectives.

When will you learn that religion is about power and manipulation.

The existence of sentences that "you personally" see as "bad" is quite a moot point because it's a subjective matter.

What I suggest though is treating the Quran as the objective source; or in other words: the base case.

It matters because this book -the Quran- is admitted by all Muslims to be God's word. So if somebody used a sentence not mentioned in it, then they are literally ignoring what God said or remained silent about.

I don't care about Islamic country's or their institutions.
I care about what God himself said in this regard.

Indeed so many of them ignored the book and even twisted its meaning via the Hadith; until reaching the conclusion we see today of all their countries falling to be "third world countries".

A person who's engaged in fixing magic book complaining about subjective matters? Quick, tell another one!

I want to point out that your effort and response demonstrates that you know the shit content exists. You flat out lied with the sunni/shia song and dance and you knew you were lying when you did it. What does allah think about that, objectively? What does it mean when you're still doing it to another person in the same post, even as you acknowledge the lie in conversation with me?

You tried to call me stupid for asking about what really happened, in islam, for most of the time.

Do you deny that extra taxes were levied?

Your answer: "I dont care"
You pretty much know the answer to my question do you? You just refuse to talk about the topic, because it makes you look ignorant and dishonest. Yet you have been exposed as a liar already, since it is true that an extra tax existed, and i was correct in claiming it existed. So, no Disneys Aladdin, rather you being engaged in copying Pinocchio.

You insisting on "what god said" and refusal to engage in me presenting facts about islam, that speaks for itself, and your pathetic personality.
I will spare you the verses where your god indeed asked to levy a tax from jewss and christians, since you most probably know them already and will just continue to flat out lie, and i neither have the time nor will to waste too much efforts on such an repugnant liar as you.
