Question: Does Islam command that those who insult the religion should be put to death? Summary Answer: Under Sharia, those who insult Muhammad or Allah are to be put to death. So are those who desecrate the Quran, or commit other acts of blasphemy. This tradition began with Muhammad, as recorded in the Hadith and by his biographers. There is also a Quranic basis for it. The Quran: Quran (6:93) - Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah? If the death penalty is prescribed for lesser crime, then it stands to reason that it should be imposed for the most wicked. Quran (33:57) - Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in this world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained Quran (33:61) - [continues from above] Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.
