In times of uncertainty, good decisions demand good data. Please support our research with a financial contribution. It organizes the public into nine distinct groups, based on an analysis of their attitudes and values. Even in a polarized era, the survey reveals deep divisions in both partisan coalitions. Use this tool to compare the groups on some key topics and their demographics. Pew Research Center now uses as the last birth year for Millennials in our work.
President Michael Dimock explains why. About Pew Research Center Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world. The Koran refers to it as follows: "And whoever of you turns [away] from his religion [Islam] and dies disbelieving, their works have failed in this world and the next [world]. Those are the inhabitants of fire: therein they shall dwell forever.
This verse does not criminalize the turning away from Islam, nor does it establish a penalty. Turning away from Islam, which is translated as apostasy, would not have been considered a crime, except the Prophet Muhammad praise be upon him in the 7th Century applied the death penalty to a Muslim who turned away from Islam. Historians of the Sunnah, the tradition established by the Prophet and deemed binding upon all Muslims, failed to note a significant fact about that case--that person not only had a change of faith, but decided to join the enemies of Islam at a time of war, thus making it a crime of high treason.
Such a crime exists in all legal systems, many with the death penalty. The Prophet's application of the death penalty was used by Muslim scholars in combination with the verse cited above as a legal basis for making apostasy, namely, change in religious belief, a crime punishable by death. These scholars have overlooked the passage to the enemy at a time of war, which was the most important element in the Prophet's decision in that case.
They have also overlooked two important factors. The first relates to the Koran, the highest binding source of Islamic law, which contains a fundamental principle stated in unequivocal terms: "Let there be no compulsion in religion," Surat Al-Baqarah, verse I went to live in a half-way house … I realised I needed to start working on myself and building my own mental strength and life.
Obviously, you never want to lose your family. I still love my family. Initially I tried to engage with them, but they'd be like, "You have to come home, you're ruining our family's reputation. When a boy breaks my heart or I'm facing medical things, you want your mum there, you want your family. And I don't have that. But then I also have to weigh up that they didn't bring me anything but sadness or anxiety or stress in my life.
There's this thing where people generally feel by leaving the faith that we hate the people within the faith. I'm like, "No! My family are Muslim, I don't hate my family. I don't hate my Muslim co-workers.
But what I do hate is the fact that when it came down to it, religion meant more to my family and friends, than me as a person.
