BLASPHEMY IN THE BIBLE

THE DEATH PENALTY FOR BLASPHEMY AS ENSHRINED IN ISLAMIC SHARI'A COURT OF LAW IS ALSO CONFIRMED IN THE BIBLE :

The Christian Hotgospellers and other professional evangelical propagandists in Nigeria and abroad are venomously attacking Islam unjustifiably for awarding death sentence to the person (A professional Singer in Kano) who blasphemously abused the Holy and Noble Prophet Muhammad (on whom be peace) and who also eventually blasphemed against the Almighty Allah either because of the fact that they are ignorant of the  biblical justification of death penalty for any one who blasphemed against God or because of their pathological hatred of anything good  that has to do with Islam. I honourably challenged these Christians to impartially read the following references in  their Bible and respond to the questions in this article.

(1) In Leviticus 24 v 10-16 the Bible says that whosoever blasphemed against God should be stoned to death by the congregation of people and the witnesses according to a divine judgment. Can any born again or dying again Christian challenge this biblical condemnation of a blaspheme to death?

(2) In Leviticus 20 verse 9 and Exodus 21 verse 17 of the Bible, it is as well written that whosoever abuses or curses his parents, either his father or Mother should be stone to death in the presence of all  the people. Jesus also said the samething in Matthew 15 v  4 of the same Bible that whoever dishonour his parents should be killed. And in Matthew 5 VERSE 17 Jesus had emphatically confirmed the Mosaic's law of capital punishment as well as in John 8 v 3-11 where he also commanded the stoning of an adulterous woman who was brought before him for judicial justice, as found also in Leviticus 20 verse 10-12 and Deuteronomy 22 verses 22-23 on the penalty for adultery. Now the most puzzling question is if cursing or abusing one's parents deserved death sentence, what more of abusing a Holy divine Prophet  of God?

(3) In Luke 19 verse 27 of the Bible Jesus also ordered the killing of those of his enemies who will not allowed him to rule them What can the Christians say about this biblical statement?

 Lastly the Christians are also requested to read the biblical verses in Deuteronomy 13 v 6-17 and Deuteronomy 17 v 6-13 that spoke about the death sentences for Apostates meaning those that forsakes God and went after strange gods.. 

Face your own problems and allow Muslims to practice their faith. Period.

Note: that sincere repentance and seek for forgiveness of Allah is paramount in Islam. May Allah forgive us for our mistakes and iniquities.
