lets strive to live by the Prophet's(PBUH) teachings and not just celebrate his birthday

Fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Tidak terfikir saya sebelum ini. I won't even waste my time into thinking every Muslim is a terrorist. Personally, I'm just a orang sederhana dengan kehidupan yang sederhana.

Hi, I just stumbled upon this thread. Not a Muslim here but I've always wondered what happens to a Muslim who commits apostasy in Malaysia. I never asked my friends because you know lah religion sensitive topic but now since it's on the internet I thought I'd ask. I read this http://www.islam.gov.my/en/e-hadith/apostasy and it certainly says death but they don't really do it right? 

What does it say? at office now, no speaker.. (boss not in yet, ngulor kejap laa )
Different community. I am sure this thread will be bombarded with Islam hater if move to RWI. Besides,..
yes, ..it's more to sharing our diverse opinion on and in Islam.
What was it that you talked about? Mind PM me?

That's why it's essential to use our rationale. We should understand the context of the text, not just follow literally. How can anyone in their right mind condone killing SIMPLY because someone choose to leave Islam?

I'm still learning, because I don't agree we should kill that easy.

Another belief is that the Quran was revealed during the ancient time, war time, war between religions. So "apostates" here means enemy in war. It was actual wars between religions that time, so turning against Islam means you are joining the enemy's side of the trench, literally. That's when reaction such as killing is permissible. This make more sense to me.

Hey, Muslim cannot be pornstar!! Later got death threat, they perform jihad on you! Haha.. jk jk
Devil's advocate: "itu tetapan ke atas bani israil!" Kita anak Ismail, anak Isaac, or even Judah, kita saam geng la.. ahli buku.

That's the point, kenapa kita yang KONONnya a religion of peace, di ajar membenci Yahudi, Kristian, dan agama lain? Kenapa memanggil mereka musuh Islam? lepas tu boleh debik dada pulak cakap religion of peace.

I suppose this has nothing to do with my question as well?

Err. no. Let me copy and paste my question again:

"I'm asking how should other religions should be portrayed in order to attain the same kind of prejudice which coined the term, 'Islamophobia' in the first place."

Which is also the same as:

"While I agree that Islam has been misrepresented accordingly by the media, may I kindly inquire if other religions may also be equally misrepresented as well? That is the core of my question. If other religions can indeed be equally be misrepresented, will they also have equal amount of extremism that will be associated with it?

Example. Let's use the power of the media to misrepresent Buddhism. Due to such misrepresentation, will worshipers / followers of the Buddhism faith / philosophy also conceive similar amount of extremism that we see today that is associated with the Islam religion?"

In short:

How should other religions be portrayed similarly to Islam, so that they may be similarly misrepresented by the media, and ended up with equal amount of extremism, similar to the Islam religion which you see in today's media?

Example. Say you are the media. What would you do to misrepresent a religion, so that it will also conceive the same amount of misrepresentation and extremism, just like how the media has done to the Islam religion?

I understand. But this is why the question I presented is a hypothetical one, in order to find out if one has all the power to control the media, how will he or she misrepresent a religion or a system of belief, so that it matches to the misrepresentation and the extremism involve in the Islam religion by today's media?

I agree. We don't have to always connect physical world with the Islamic teachings such as heaven and hell.
