N. Khan said: "These opinions expressed openly in a sharia based country will land them in a prison under a death penalty.Mohammed punished his critics by having them asassinated and badmouthing them all over quran, calling them hippocrites and sanctioning their asassinations (4.89)."

'Hippocrites'? Verse 4.89? what is the translation of verse 4:89? Wot is the context? how can you say something about the Quran without quoting a verse IN CONTEXT?

In Chapter verse 89 of the Quran, God is referring to those ppl who call themselves muslims but are planning AGAINST the Holy Prophet Muhammda (PBUH). they want him and his followers dead and want to distrupt the peace in Madina.(these are the hypocrites)
Therefore Allah says in Chapter number 4 Verse 89:
"They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of God (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks;- "

Tell me one thing N.khan, how can you make friends with ppl bent on killing you? Wot do u do if see them? kill them before they can kill you

And heres verse 4:90 right after verse 4:89:
"Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If God had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then God Hath opened no way for you (to war against them). "

So the Quran instructs the muslims to kill the Hypocrites who would otherwise kill them, unless they agree not to fight and agree to live in PEACE. If they do live in peace, then it is FORBIDDEN for muslims to fight them
