Faiza Ali, of the New York chapter of CAIR, has declared that Muslims can freely leave Islam without anything to worry about. Islam, she says, does not practice coercion and preaches that forced faith is not true belief. She has made this assertion in her criticism of Pamela Geller's "Leaving Islam" ad campaign on city buses. The campaign is aimed at helping Muslims, like Rifqa Bary, who are fearful of leaving their religion due to Islam's death penalty for apostasy.
Hmmm, if Faiza is right, I wonder what this poor family's trouble is all about.
I have an idea, let's start a fund to send Faiza Ali to Iran, and then to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Let her stand in the middle of a busy street, in each nation's capital, and start announcing that she is a Muslim and that she is leaving Islam to become a Christian or, better yet, a Jew. Let her hand out some flyers denouncing Islamic teachings such as: "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Bukhari 9.84.57).
We'll pay for her whole trip if she agrees to prove her point with this little fun experiment. And when she makes it back after all the partying, clubbing, rest and relaxation (that she will hopefully be able to fit around her apostasy charade), we will offer her a cash prize - on top of paying for her trip and the resources needed for the flyers, etc.
Who's with me?
