THE FANTASY ISLAM OF REZA ASLAN
Front page mag ^ | 27 October 2015 | Dr. Stephen M. Kirby

As I have mentioned before, "Fantasy Islam" is a popular game among many non-Muslims and so-called “moderate” or “reformist” Muslims. Reza Aslan appears to be such a Muslim.

Reza Aslan was born in Iran. In 1979, at the age of seven, he and his family fled the Iranian Revolution and came to the United States. At the age of 15 he converted to evangelical Christianity, but later returned to Islam. His website states that he is “an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions.” He is currently a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of California, Riverside.

..Aslan stated that the death penalty for apostasy was “un-Quranic,” and he stated that nowhere in the Koran “is any earthly punishment prescribed for apostasy.” The only problem for Aslan is that in 4:89 of the Koran Allah commands Muslims to take hold of those apostates who have left Islam and “kill them wherever you find them.” So the death penalty for apostasy from Islam is in the Koran. In addition, Muhammad said that death was the penalty for a Muslim who left Islam (e.g. Sahih Al-Bukhari, Nos. 6878 and 6923; and Sahih Muslim, No. 1676). And Muhammad even specified the nature of that death: If someone changes his religion - then strike off his head!

Aslan is simply a liar and counting on his audience never actually reading the Koran, Hadiths, or the Biography. There is no fudging or allegory in those works.

Of course he’s a liar. ALL MOSLEMS ARE LIARS.

All moslems are also terrorists. But you already knew that. The problem is how do we get the rest of the world to wake up and see that.

I have a Koran, a gift for my husband from Saudi contractors. The Koran is the only gift contractors could give, in lieu of bribes.
The Koran is a Muslim knock-off of the Old Testament. Very strange. They simply eliminated the New Testament, the fundamental Christian words.

Aslan may yet change again. He obviously is Mr. Waffle. Who could trust him?
