IMO, countries having death penalty for blasphemy or apostacy are governed by the "Devil", so to speak.I find myself wondering how marvelous that blasphemy must be, for people to be so fiercely punished for it.
Well on global average only approximately 31% of Muslims support the death penalty for apostasy so I just assume the other 69% have a more peaceful interpretation of Islam.What would the other Islaams be?
If the 31% statistic is coming from the 2013 Pew Research, I don't think it's a global average. The 2013 Pew Research excluded the Americas and Europe.Well on global average only approximately 31% of Muslims support the death penalty for apostasy so I just assume the other 69% have a more peaceful interpretation of Islam.
My personal experience is that Muslims are not all agreed on which Hadith are genuine, so I would assume that by virtue of having different scriptures (Hadith) they are different Islams
You need not go to Pakistan:Geeze so if you want to die in Pakistan, just say like , Mohammad should die for me, and stuff like that . "Blasphemy laws" in Pakistan.
Don't draw Muhammad cartoon, though"Blasphemy laws" in Pakistan. Hey I got all these bad things i'm gonna say about mohammad!
"only" still is ca. 500 million though.Well on global average only approximately 31% of Muslims support the death penalty for apostasy
It’s way too many, but if the majority can believe in a peaceful Islam then the remaining 500mill can be re-educated slowly by maintaining safe spaces in the west for dissenting Muslims."only" still is ca. 500 million though.
That's ca. 6% of the world population supporting death penalty for apostacy
So I guess Geert Wilders made a good start with the drawing contest.It’s way too many, but if the majority can believe in a peaceful Islam then the remaining 500mill can be re-educated slowly by maintaining safe spaces in the west for dissenting Muslims.
There are 30million Muslims living in Europe and America;If the 31% statistic is coming from the 2013 Pew Research, I don't think it's a global average. The 2013 Pew Research excluded the Americas and Europe.

I don’t know what percentage of American and European Muslims believe in death for apostasy, but let’s exclude them all arbitrarily, it still leaves c.a 470million Muslims (or more) who do believe in death for apostasy, which is why it is important that safe spaces are maintained for dissent in the west.
Sure... but only if they allow themselves to be re-educated.It’s way too many, but if the majority can believe in a peaceful Islam then the remaining 500mill can be re-educated slowly by maintaining safe spaces in the west for dissenting Muslims.

There is a myriad Islaams. As one would expect; any group of around two billion people and spread among several continents is bound to have an enormous variety of situations. Islaam is not quite so obsessed with central authority and uniformity of thought and behavior, and it would fail disastrously if it tried. And it did, many times, as history records. If it could be made to work, it would have been done.My personal experience is that Muslims are not all agreed on which Hadith are genuine, so I would assume that by virtue of having different scriptures (Hadith) they are different Islams
Still...that's a whole lotta people...hundreds of millions who'd call for my death.If the 31% statistic is coming from the 2013 Pew Research, I don't think it's a global average. The 2013 Pew Research excluded the Americas and Europe.

And that's not even including the commies & patriots.
I see what you mean, but I do fit this definition....Technically, I don't think you are an apostate.

Definition of APOSTASY
Definition of apostasy
1: an act of refusing to continue to follow, obey, or recognize a religious faith
It appears to be the percentage of Muslims in those countries.Here's what it says in the Pew Research summary. I think that's where the 31% number is coming from.

The way it's phrased, "Death Penalty for Converts", I don't think the survey was speaking about someone like you.
Also, am I reading this right? The numbers represent a percent of a percent?
Thanx for clarifying.@Revoltingest : Continued from previous post...
The results are: "Among Muslims who say Sharia should be the law of the land, % who favor the death penalty for converts."
"Among Muslims who say..."
As an example: For Pakistan according to the data on the Pew website:
84% responded that Sharia should be the law of the land. Of that 84%, 76% favor the death penalty for converts.
So, the actual percentage of Pakistani responses who favor death penalty for converts is closer to 64%?
