four malaysian muslims renounced their religion, which to them malay's, is tantamount to rejecting their own race.
They were charged with contempt of the Syariah court for refusing to attend repentance classes which were part of the earlier sentence and were jailed for another three years in 2000.
pardon? repentence classes? serves to affirm my belief that muslims - as opposed to the religion itself - are but a double standard bunch of specimens.
as enscribed by the letter b @ July 22, 2004 11:00 AMyeah. actually the koran doesn't categorically state that the followers couldn't leave/renounce/abandon/blah the religion whatsoever. the reasoning is simple: stick to it since you were born into it. why change?
it's the adherents - or more specifically uneducated self-appointed religious councillors - that got away with their nonsensical interpretations of the book.
as blahed by the letter b @ July 23, 2004 03:41 AMBasically, once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You can't get out of the religion without being stoned to death first. The only possible way is to cut of ties with your friends and loved ones and go live in another country.
