Los Angeles Submits

 Hat tip Counter Jihad Coalition



I am cross-posting an article by the Counter Jihad Coalition. Los Angeles, a city with more problems than I could list here, is marking the start of Ramadan by lighting City Hall green (the color of Islam).

As described in the above article, the driving force behind this is the Muslim Public Affairs Council, whose leader, Salam al-Marayati, is based in Los Angeles. MPAC, like CAIR, is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. I have seen and heard Marayati speak a few times and on one occasion, in December 2012, spoke to him one-on-one for a few minutes in regard to the question of apostate Muslims in the US being free from violence in retaliation for leaving Islam. Marayati (falsely) assured me that there was no death sentence or other punishment in Islam for apostates.

"Lunch was from 3-4. During the break, I approached Marayati and asked him about the subject of apostasy. I also mentioned the Freedom Pledge letter, which he and many other Muslim leaders in the US had received from Former Muslims United asking them to sign a pledge that American apostates not be harmed. He told me he vaguely remembered seeing the letter a couple of months previous but had not signed it. The reason he gave is that Nonie Darwish (the head of FMU) had a political agenda while MPAC had made its views known, that there is no punishment for leaving Islam, and there is nothing about that in the Koran. I asked him specifically if that also pertained to public apostates who spoke out critically against the religion as well as those who quietly left. Marayati reiterated there was no punishment for leaving Islam for either group. I then gave him another copy of the letter addressed to him, thanked him, shook hands and left."
