Quote:Abu Rashid has written extensively on the issue of how traitors are treated
Not to my knowledge. Or at least, he has not said much about how Shites should be treated under Islam. He tends to answer every question about apostasy in Islam with 'McCarthy executed a few traitors'. The closest he came to a straight answer on Shites was a few years back when the topic came up. He responded by accusing the questioner of trying to stir up trouble between him and Malik - the other mod on this forum who must have been a Shite. Since then, nothing.
Quote:Although, I am not sure that he has mentioned how apostates in Islam are given an opportunity to repent and rejoin the Muslim community..
Not that either, as that might prompt the question - what if they do not repent? Abu likes to avoid giving people answers that might trouble them. He is very considerate like that.
Forgive me in advance for trying to read between the lines, as I am still getting used to the subtle way that Muslims refer to slaughtering fellow Muslims. Is this a correct interpretation of your post:
Shites are mostly just ignorant Muslims. They should be given an opportunity to stop being Shites. Then all is forgiven. Those who do not accept the opportunity given to them to repent and adopt the one true faith should be stoned to death.

That's nice. How far down the 'chain of command' would you go? Would you include militray officials? Would you include all the MPs who voted with the PM, or just the PM? You realise that the PM is only the PM for as long as the majority of MPs keep him there? Every decision by the government is effectively a decision by a majority of MPs (ie the sitting MPs of the ruling party).
