Legislating Terrorism: behold, the Caliphate arises

Hey, BDS sufferers. Think you’re living in a “christofascist tyranny”? This is what REAL TYRANNY looks like.

LEGISLATION has been brought by the government of President Mahmoud Amadinejad before the Iranian Majlis that would mandate the death penalty for apostates from Islam. The law’s reach would be worldwide, the legislation says.

Yeah? You and who’s army, goat fucker?

The Washington think tank, the Institute on Religion and Public Policy reported on Feb 5 the proposed “Bill for Islamic Penal” law will be the first time that Iran has by statute mandated the death penalty for conversion from Islam.

The legislation used the word “Hadd—meaning that it explicitly sets death as a fixed punishment that cannot be changed, reduced or annulled. In the past, the death penalty has been handed down, and also carried out, in apostasy cases, but it has never before been set down in law,” the Institute’s president, Joseph Grieboski said.

Islam’s five major schools of jurisprudence, the Madh’hab, currently hold that converts from Islam must be executed. However, in the Middle Ages several leading Islamic jurists rejected the death penalty --- as do a number of moderate modern scholars --- noting that while the Koran condemns apostasy as a sin, it does not mandate a penalty.

So this is a step backwards from the Middle Ages. Now that’s what I call progress!

However Islamic law distinguishes between apostasy of an adult and someone who has not reached puberty. The ‘Umdat as-Salik wa ‘Uddat an-Nasik (Reliance of the Traveller and Tools of the Worshipper, of the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence as practiced by the al-Azhar in Cairo rejects the death penalty for child apostates, as does the Hidayah, the Hanafi juridical work that guides Muslim jurisprudence in India and Pakistan.

The proposed Iranian law would enshrine the mandatory death penalty into the country’s civil code for men. Women apostates would be imprisoned.

So Iran will take the lead here. Watch all the other countries fall into line soon after. Heck, aren’t the Saudis already there? Kinda reminds me of old JRR’s “one ring to find them all and in the darkness bind them”.

Two types of apostasy are set down in the legislation: parental and innate.

Innate apostates are those whose parents were Muslim, declared themselves as Muslim as an adult and then leave the faith.

Parental apostates are those whose parents were non-Muslims, who had become Muslims as adults, and then left the faith.

Article 225-7 states the “Punishment for an innate apostate is death,” while Article 225-8 allows a parental apostate three days to recant their apostasy. If they continue in their unbelief, “the death penalty would be carried out.”

So if you leave the “faith” you get killed. But if you leave the faith, and hold true to that leaving for three entire days, you get killed. Such an enlightened perspective!

Article 112 would give the law an extraterritorial jurisdiction, extending its mandate to cover those who renounce Islam both inside and outside Iran.

Oh no you don’t motherfugger. Pass your own dumbass laws in your own country. Try and export them to my country and I’ll find an old rusty saw just the right size for your neck. But hey, this kind of gall is appropriate for the world-wide caliphate of the “religion of peace”.

The law criminalizes heresy saying that anyone who claims to be a Prophet, or a Muslim who “creates a sect based on that which is contrary to the obligations and necessities of Islam, is considered an apostate.” Those who practice “witchcraft” shall also be “sentenced to death.”

Ah Ha! Thought so. Not only will this make leaving pisslam illegal, it will make belonging to any sect other than the one approved by the state a capital offense. And you just know how every other religion, especially Hinduism and Buddism, and let’s not forget Judiasm and Christianity, will immediately be seen as a form of witchcraft.

There you have it folks: if Iran passes this law, and they probably will, they have in effect just declared war on the entire world. Total jihad. But hey, let’s just send Condi over there to talk at them again, or have the UN pass another wobbly resolution. Yeah, that’ll fix them.

Freedom of Choice. Freedom of Religion. Freedom of Thought. These things will not exist in the Caliphate.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
