Under Islamic governments in the last 50 years, thousands have been executed, many more imprisoned, and unknown millions psychologically agonized for crimes of the mind. #ApostasyDay #ApostasyIsNotACrime /2
Disbelief in, disrespect toward, or disagreement with the Prophet Muhammad all constitute blasphemy, and hence apostasy, according to every school of Islamic law. The prescribed punishment - they all agree - is death. #ApostasyDay #ApostasyIsNotACrime /3
Apostasy and blasphemy laws demand self-censorship and enable violent mania against those who fail to comply, all while crippling reform, canceling individual quests for truth, freezing public discourse, and shattering families. #ApostasyDay #ApostasyIsNotACrime /4
On Apostasy Day, we stand against the muzzling of minds, the ostracization of the unorthodox, those who respond to ridicule with death, all “honor” which is defended with violence, and all “respect” that is extorted rather than earned. #ApostasyDay #ApostasyIsNotACrime /5
