Quote:I do not think any vast group of people are apostates. Each one of them is judged according to their beliefs. Some Shi'a are apostates (just as some supposed Sunnis are) and some are not. I am certainly not the arbiter of their predicaments. I pray alongside Shi'a individuals on a daily basis, and never heard anything approaching apostasy from them, and until I did, then their position regarding apostasy does not even register to me.
You talk about Shites being 'outside of Islam' all the time, and about them not being Muslims - especially when they do something nasty in the name of Islam. So obviously it does register with you when it is convenient.
Can you elaborate on what would make them an apostate? Falah also made a similar comment - that they would be OK so long as they did not utter 'the heresies'. This was in the context of the discussion with him about which western and shite leaders should face the death penalty. But he would not elaborate either. Is this something you are not allowed to talk about?
Quote:No doubt you'll now try and wriggle around this, and post 20 other questions. Just accept the answer for what it is for once.
One at a time will do Abu.
Quote:Seems you know what Spot thinks better than Spot does...
I don't think anyone knows what spot thinks, not even spot.
Quote:Nope... no hidden esoteric meaning, it just is what it is, I do not implement the Qur'an in all its entirety, as neither does any Muslim.
Here's a simple question that is actually relevant (ie not a strawman) - do you follow the Koran? Again, the answer seems obvious to me, though I have never asked directly. I only ask because spot thinks you don't and you are going out of your way to reinforce that.
Quote:If you repeated it from me, then you should be able to produce a quote?
Abu I have plenty of quotes from you about killing apostates.
