You know them. The kind of folks who get saved, talk the talk for a period of time (sometime for many years) and then all of a sudden bam - they're gone. I don't like to label people, but in the church world they're known as "backsliders".
Anyhow, so what do we do when people backslide from the Lord? Well, at most we don't associate with them. This is what the New Testament teaches.
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and
offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid
them. Rom. 16:17
How does Mohammed teach backsliders should be treated? Read this:
"Ali was raised by Mohammed from the age of ten and became the fourth
caliph. Ali pronounced the following on lies and deception.
B9,84,64 When I relate to you the words of Mohammed, by Allah, I would
rather die than bear false witness to his teachings. However, if I
should say something unrelated to the prophet, then it might very well be a lie
so that I might deceive my enemy. Without question, I heard Mohammed say,
"In the final days before Redemption there will emerge groups of foolish
youths who will say all the right things but their faith will go no
further than their mouths and will flee from their religion like an arrow.
So, kill the apostates wherever you find them, because whoever does
so will be rewarded on Judgment Day."
And while you're at it, check these one out, too:
A Muslim can swear a false oath by any other god and not be accountable.
B8,73,73 Mohammed: "A Muslim who swears a false oath by the god of
another religion is not obligated to fulfill that promise because he
cannot be bound by a faith he does not hold."
In Islam something that is not true is not always a lie.
B3,49,857 Mohammed: "A man who brings peace to the people by making
up good words or by saying nice things, though untrue, does not lie."
An oath by a Muslim is flexible.
B8,78,618 Abu Bakr faithfully kept his oaths until Allah revealed to Mo-
hammed the atonement for breaking them. Afterwards he said, "If I make
a pledge and later discover a more worthy pledge, then I will take
the better action and make amends for my earlier promise."
When deception advances Islam, the deception is not a sin.
B5,59,369 Mohammed asked, "Who will kill Ka'b, the enemy of Allah and Mohammed?"
Bin Maslama rose and responded, "O Mohammed! Would it please you if I killed him?"
Mohammed answered, "Yes."
Bin Maslama then said, "Give me permission to deceive him with lies so that my plot will succeed."
Mohammed replied, "You may speak falsely to him."
