Its illegal in several countries to convert to any religion other then Islam. If you do so it is punishable by death. Should we respect those countries soveirgnty and allow them to commit acts of genocide against those who convert. In other countries like Eritria its illegal to be anything other then Islam not only convert.

Should we stand by and watch these countries butcher their people because we respect their soveirgnty? Its the same as standing by while Hitler executed the Jews. Now I know our Governments currently are standing by and allowing several countries to butcher their people, but the question remains "Should they"?

I hope that Nato and the Afghan National Army arrest or kill every one of those responsable for this hanous act. May justice be served hot!

I don't even consider these countries "Islamic" if they force people to convert. That's just extremist scum abusing the Islamic name. In fact, the Quran states that it's forbidden to force people into your religion:  (No compulsion in religion) (Al-Baqarah 2:256)

This is a pretty good article (assuming you read the whole thing from beginning to end)

edit: forgot the link! whoops! http://www.meforum.org/1754/peace-or-jihad-abrogation-in-islam

That all being said, I read some interesting article on abrogation (written by a born-muslim: http://www.answering-islam.org/Authors/Farooq_Ibrahim/abrogation.htm ) that actually talked about rules (and abrogation of rules) regarding the penalty for adultry/fornication but it wasn't clear what the final ruling is...either way I think the penalty of death didn't fit the crime.
