Br xs11ax,

The question is slightly different. OP asks if execution is carried out for a non-citizen, which entails international laws.

actually it was a reply to your post :P

the fatwa does not make a distinction between those who become apostates while living in the muslim lands or those who become apostates while living in a non-muslim land and later returning to the muslim lands as an apostate.

if there IS a distinction between the two then please post an explanation for my benefit.....

no doubt there will be some non-muslims reading this in horror......so i would just like to say that the muslim ummah is not the only nation that gives the death penalty to those who defect from their nation. in times of war defectors from one nation to the enemy nation are executed and so are people who commit treason. an apostate from islam is defecting from the muslim nation to the non muslim nation which is also regarded as treason. so before judging islam on this point first judge the laws of your own country!
