Αποστασία: Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

 

==Στον Ισλαμισμό==

The Quran is silent on the ''punishment'' for apostasy, though not the subject itself. The Quran speaks repeatedly of people going back to unbelief after believing, but never once does it say that they should be killed or punished.

 

 

The question of the penalties imposed in Islam (i.e. under [[shariah]] law) for apostasy is a highly controversial topic that is passionately debated by various scholars. On this basis, according to some scholars, if a Muslim consciously and without coercion declares their rejection of Islam and does not change their mind after the time given to him/her by a judge for research, then the penalty for male apostates is the death penalty, or, for women, life imprisonment. However, this view has been rejected by some modern Muslim scholars (eg [[Hasan al-Turabi]]), who argues that the ''[[hadith]]'' in question should be taken to apply only to political betrayal of the Muslim community, rather than to apostasy in general[http://www.islamonline.net/english/Contemporary/2003/05/Article01a.shtml]. These scholars argue for the freedom to convert to and from Islam without legal penalty, and consider the aforementioned ''Hadith'' quote as insufficient confirmation of harsh punishment; they regard apostasy as a serious crime, but undeserving of the death penalty. Today apostasy is punishable by death in the countries of [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Qatar]], [[Yemen]], [[Iran]], [[Sudan]], [[Afghanistan]] and [[Mauritania]]. In [[Pakistan]] blasphemy is also punishable by death.
