Do you remember that letter that 138 Muslim scholars sent to the Vatican last year? The one that the media got all excited over? The one that to untrained eyes appeared to be an invitation for peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians, but which was actually a series of veiled threats dressed in "peaceful" Qur'anic rhetoric? Of course you do.
Well, it turns out that one of the signatories on that letter was the Institute of Islamic Thought in Jordan. The Institute, which operates a website, AlTafsir.com, which it calls “the largest and greatest online collection of Qur’anic commentary, translation, recitation, and essential resources in the world,” includes in an “Ask the Mufti” section a number of fatwas on apostasy issued by the Institute’s chief scholar, Sheikh Hijjawi, that call for the death of Christian reverts (Christians converting to Islam and then returning to the Christian faith) and Muslim apostates. Further they state that if the Christian reverts and Muslim apostates are not killed, they should be deprived of all rights and accorded the status of non-persons.
This was not surprising to me, as I saw through this transparent taqiyya from the very beginning.
