English translationSo the issue is that the Lawgiver has ordered the killing of the apostate for whoever openly declares disbelief; there is a difference between disbelief and declaring disbelief openly - whoever among the Muslims openly declares disbelief is to be killed.
Original, Arabic
اذا المساله هي ان الشارع يرتب قتل المرتد على من اعلن الكفر فرق بين كفر وبين اعلن الكفر من اعلن الكفر يقتل من المسلمين

English translationThe slaughtered animals of all Muslim sects are permissible, except, except those who falsely claim Islam but are ruled to be disbelievers. Like who, brothers? >> Nawasib. Correct, the Nawasib, those who show hostility to the Commander of the Faithful and the People of the House, peace be upon them. These consider themselves what? Muslims, but in reality they are disbelievers, disbelievers by consensus of the Muslims.
Original, Arabic
تحل ذبيحه جميع فرق المسلمين عدا عدا المنتحلين للاسلام المحكومين بالكفر مثل منو يا اخوان؟ >> نواصب احسنت النواصب الذين ينصبون العداء لامير المؤمنين ولاهل البيت عليهم افضل الصلاه والسلام هؤلاء يعتبر يعتبرون انفسهم شنه؟ مسلمين لكن واقعهم كافر واقعهم كافر باجماع المسلمين

English translationBut when you make the comparison, we say yes: if a place is governed by religion, the society is ruled by the rulings of Islam, without doubt, that place has a privilege and a favor. We read in the content of supplications: "O God, we desire from You a noble state."
Original, Arabic
لكن لما أن تأتي بالمقايسة فنحن نقول نعم إذا ما كان المكان يحكمه الدين المجتمع يكون محكوما بأحكام الإسلام لا شك ولا ريب ذلك المكان يكون له نعم حبوة وحظوة نقرأ في مضامين الدعاء فيقول اللهم إنا نرغب إليك في دولة كريمة
