Arab Reformists Under Threat by Islamists: Bin Laden Urges Killing of 'Freethinkers'

Topics: Understanding Islam

5.jpgArab reformists are constantly threatened by Islamists, who consider freethinkers to be guilty of the worst of crimes. The most recent death threat against Arab intellectuals was issued by Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Freethinkers and heretics who defame Islam should be killed:

"Indeed, this is our Prophet's law regarding anyone who mocks him, and belittles Islam and scorns it... They should be killed... Take an example from Muhammad ibn Maslama and his companions [who assassinated the poet Ka'b ibn Al-Ashraf]. It is intolerable and outrageous that the heretics are among us, scorning our religion and our Prophet.

"Therefore, you must fear Allah and do His will. Do not consult anyone about the killing of these heretics. Be secretive in carrying out that which is required of you.

In other words, according to Osama and his ilk - Allah talks to Osama, Osama talks to Muslims, and Muslims should just shut up and listen to Osama!

Else they become the target of any nutcase Islamist that thinks they are a heretic.
