Apostasy is a different case altogether as during the Prophet's time, apostasy essentially meant committing treason.
There should be a penalty for sedition and spreading propaganda against the state, but definitely not the death penalty. That should be reserved for the worst offenders, i.e in cases of treason.
Saying that you don't believe in God is different from supporting foreign proxies and anti-state activities - if we punish them both with the death penalty, how can our laws be proportionate to the crime committed?
"And if you punished, let your punishment be proportionate to the wrong that has been done to you; but if you show patience, that is indeed the best course. [Qur'an 16:126]
Thanks.
Now coming back to the situation we are dealing right now. There are two things here.
1. There is one FB page Bhensas that commits continuous and deliberate acts of blasphemy on various levels and promoted Atheism
2. There are 4 individual who were abducted allegedly by agencies and are also allegedly linked to these 4 pages.
Now coming to my question. What if these 4 individuals or anyone of them is associated or pat of this page and its blasphemous content.
Should that individual(s) deserve death penalty because:
1: That guy committed blasphemy blatantly and continously
2: All the 4 guys were born in Muslim families and were Muslims
What you say about this situation where we are dealing a case of blasphemy plus apostasy? What should be the punishment?
