not surprising

Mohammed, the ever willing believer writes:

".......
"If they turn back from islam kill them wherever you find them. All quranic authorities agree that apsotates must be killed according to thjis aya and the hadith Bukhari4-52-260"Kill any one who leaves islam", and that is the sharia law and is practised in all countries who follow sharia. "

Well then, again, just as it's OK to wait 3 years to sleep with a nine year old child - it must be OK to kill anyone who wakes up and discovers that Islam is not the true path. It says so in the hadith - so it must be so. Who can question that sort of logic?

"Allah said the same thing in old testament. ..."

hmmm,don't recall any Allah in the Old Testament or the Gospels for that matter. I met a girl called 'Alla' in Russia once though. Probably not related. I do recall Christ saying he'd come to replace the old Mosaic law with a new more advanced one though. Funny how that isn't covered in the Quran isn't it?

"Are you trying to say Allah exempted the apostates who had treaties? "

No, I don't think so. I think he's trying to say that the whole apostate thing and the vengeful deity went out the window once people twigged onto the idea that God was all about forgiveness, love and forbearance, light and consciousness. It did away with the necessity of going through scriptures looking for loopholes or creating new outlandish 'scriptures' to justify aberrant behaviour .

".Quran does not have any sequence, chronology or context, ..."

I totally agree with you and for good measure I'll add a few more - consistency and consequence & relevance.

"...and most ayas are idividual and their meanings are not necessarily connected with adjacent ayas. "
so no rational sequence? Could explain a lot of things - and make it harder to justify the excuse that things are taken 'out of context'.
