Subject: [FairfieldLife] Apostasy, is a terrible thing. To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, January 15, 2014, 2:49 AM Practicing Meditators in general take pride in being meditators who have made great sacrifices for their practice. “I recognize no political divisions, no political parties. I recognize only meditators.” Apostasy is a terrible thing. -Buck The danger comes when it (apostasy) is made public, like that a Muslim has stopped believing in the principles of Islam. There is no compassion for Muslims who "betray their faith" by converting to other religions or who simply stop believing in one God and the Prophet Muhammad. And, in most cases, the family itself disowns a person who becomes an apostate. Conversion, or apostasy, is also a crime under Afghanistan's Islamic law and is punishable by death. In some instances, people may even take matters into their own hands and beat an apostate to death without the case going to court. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25732919
