The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On March 2, Saudi Arabian channel Rotana Khalijiah TV aired a show that sparked controversy across the Muslim world. Two Saudi religious scholars debated whether apostasy, or abandoning one's religion, should be punished by death according to Islam. Ahmed Al-Ghamdi argued that people have the right to choose whether to adhere to Islam or not, and that there is no verse in the Quran that mandates the death penalty for apostasy. However, Abd Al-Rahman Abd Al-Karim claimed that apostasy is a grave sin and that it deserves the death penalty as stated by Prophet Muhammad. This debate brings up the question of religious freedom and human rights in many Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, where apostasy is a crime punishable by death.
