Mike Ghouse on Sean Hannity Show(s)

I was on on 820 AM Radio in Dallas Fort Worth Today,  between 5:00 and 6:00 PM CST through nationally syndicated show– my fellow guests were Imam Anjem Choudhry, the right wing radical Muslim from England, and Dr. Richard Land, one of the top ten right wing pastors of America.

This evening I was on Hannity show, on Fox TV with Brigitte Gabriel. Mullah Santorum took up the time before we were on and our time was reduced to two items – She hated Obama for apologizing and I praised him for doing that. We have to be stay on moral high grounds, accept our fault and not endanger the lives of fellow Americans on ground in Afghanistan. Newt, Rich and Brigitte’s statement were dangerous and devoid of diplomacy – they don’t’ give a rat’s ass about our men and women overseas.

I will be with David Horowitz, tomorrow at 4:00 PM CST. Check out for your local Radio at http://www.hannity.com/stations

There was on major difference with Dr. Land, he assumed Muslims wanted to impose Sharia in America, he was wrong, Muslims are not looking for or asking for a Sharia as practiced in Iran and Saudi Arabia, which may not be Islamic but very Saudi and Irani. 54 Other Nations are Muslim majority nations and they don’t practice stoning woman to death. Anjem was right once, when he said that Quraan did not require four witnesses on rape, but circumstantial evidence. I was waiting for a year to nail him down for his radicalism, and I was able to do that today.

Imam Anjem Choudary accused Sean Hannity of maligning Islam. Indeed, Sean Hannity did not malign Islam or Muslims. He called on Anjem Choudary for twisting Islam to his sick understanding. It was not Islam, but Anjem Choudary that Sean Hannity had questioned. Sean is respectful of other people’s faith including Islam, which is my faith. The language may not be perfect, but the intent is.

Anjem accused Sean of getting a paid person (infering me) to speak for Islam. Neither do I get paid, nor do I agree with Sean on many things. Sean has been a great conservative and an honest American to present different pointsof view and that is what we need in America. Many thanks to my fans and friends who have chosen to see Hannity from that perspective, who had never tuned into Hannity before.

Any time anyone talks about any religion in the form of imposing ideas on others, and forcing others to obedience, they are not talking about religion, in this case Anjem Choudary does not know much about Islam, he knows the oppressive kings, monarchs and dictators - which is not Islam.

In behalf of American Muslims, I want to thank Hannity for insiting that the twisted thing was not Islam, but Anjem Choudary's sick version.

APOSTASY

By the way there is no punishment for apostasy in Quraan or Islam – one is free to become and un-become a Muslim.

" ... Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error ..." [2:256]

This is Islam's unambiguous affirmation of freedom of faith, which also applies to changing of faith. The Qur'an illuminates before the humanity the two highways [90:10], one of which leads to salvation. Islam is an invitation to the highway toward salvation, but it is based on FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

"Those who believe, and those who are Jews, Sabians and Christians - (in fact) anyone who believes in God and the Last Day, and does good deeds - they have nothing to fear, nor will they regret" (5:69).

"If your Lord so willed, everyone on earth would have believed, all together. Will you then compel people until they become believers" (10:99)?

"We know best what they say; but you (O Muhammad,) are not to force them. So remind with the Qur'an those who fear My warning" (50:45).

Many Muslims along with me, have stood up in defense of Abdul Rahman of Afghanistan, Lena Joy of Malaysia and Pastor Naderkhani of Iran. It is a shame that Iran is punishing the man for his conscience; it goes against the grain of Islam.

There are only two or three states that do not follow Islam, but call themselves Islamic Nations.
