From the Lansing Journal letters to the editor:
I read Le Roy Barnett's letter ("Muslims, speak up," June 26) about
Muslims' opinion on Abdul Rahman's conversion to Christianity.
Islam
is not only a religion, it is a complete way of life. Islam guides
Muslims from birth to grave. The Quran and prophet Muhammad's words and
practical application of Quran in life cannot be changed.
Islam
is a guide for humanity, for all times, until the day of judgment. It
is forbidden in Islam to convert to any other religion. The penalty is
death. There is no disagreement about it.
Islam is being embraced
by people of other faiths all the time. They should know they can
embrace Islam, but cannot get out. This rule is not made by Muslims; it
is the supreme law of God.
Please do not ask us Muslims to pick
some rules and disregard other rules. Muslims are supposed to embrace
Islam in its totality.

It is important to remember that to be a Muslim is a way of life, there is no seperation of church and state. To convert to another religion is punishable by death. And we wonder why there is violence coming from Muslim countries.
