Scholars hotly debate treatment of apostates

Scholars hotly debate treatment of apostates.

"......“The view that Islamic scholars of the past had different views on how to punish apostates is incorrect. They only disagreed on how soon apostates should be executed; should it be done in three days, one week or few months. The waiting time is left to the discretion of the ruler,” said Muhammad Al-Nujaimi, a professor at the Higher Institute of Law in Riyadh......"

Referring to criticisms from international human rights organizations, he said: “These groups will never stop attacking Islam even if we were to agree to all their demands. Their lack of sincerity is clear from their attitude to the atrocities committed by the Israeli government in occupied Palestinian territories. We will never allow others to dictate our religion to us.”
YET, they have no problem dictating to anyone else. Indeed, it will be interesting to see the outcome of this symposium on "religious freedom". I have a sneaking suspicion that it will all work out to favor islam. I have to wonder, if any other religion held a symposium such as this....how offended those scholars would be?
