[Quranic Reflection]: Quran vs Hadith- why the Hadith is false

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

What is the penalty for apostasy in Islam, and how can you square this with ‘no compulsion in religion’?

Boru

Winter rejects hadiths precisely because he rejects the penalty for apostasy (capital punishment), which does exist in Islam. Apostasy is not merely leaving religion, there is also the intent to spread disorder and threaten social cohesion (in a Muslim nation-state), it's equivalent to treason in common law.

The Ottoman empire lasted for more or less 600 years, and there is no reported case of applying this penalty, mainly because it's extremely difficult to prove it in court.

It doesn’t much matter that capital punishment for apostasy is rarely applied, or even that capital punishment is the penalty. And without even considering the Hadiths, it’s pretty plain that God is going to punish apostates, your comments about disorder and social cohesion aside.

If the threat of punishment isn’t compulsion then what is?

Oh, dear - have I uncovered a contradiction in your holy of holies?
