Abstract
On 26 May 2012, Kadivar in his colleagues published an open letter to six Shi’ite authorities criticizing their Judgements (fatwa) on Apostasy of an Iranian singer. The main subjects of this letter are: Instead of Targeting the Effect, Target the Cause, Two Strands of Extremism, The Compassionate Islam, The Distinction between Critique and Insult, Rejection of the Fatwa on Executing an Apostate and Blasphemer, Resorting to Qur’anic and Hadith Standards when Confronted with Nonsensical and Absurd Talk, and Unwholesome Fallout from the Judgement to Assassinate. Condemning to death an accused apostate or blasphemer is void of any reliable religious evidence from the Qur’an, Sunna, consensus and reason. Rather, it is contrary to the Qur’an and reason. Moreover, due to the many perversions resulting from this decree, it would certainly be a cause of weakening and impairing Islam. Only a competent court is entitled to issue such a judicial ruling, and its implementation is restricted to court functionaries alone. The decree of a qualified jurist alone does not suffice. Killing an apostate or blasphemer of the Prophet is absolutely void of any reliable Qur’anic proof.
