CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION


A.    Background
Conversion has always been a prominent topic, if you do not burn our human emotions. Moreover, the missionaries tried to convince someone to change his religious beliefs which concern the most important issues of life and death, the significance of our existence. And missionaries are usually lower the value of a person's belief that now, which could be in the form of a strong personal commitment or a long family tradition of culture, calling it inferior, wrong, sinful or even an acute mistake.
 Such statements are considered difficult or civilized urbane and often insulting and degrading. Missionaries not come with an open mind for a genuine discussion and dialogue of give and take, but her mind has been concluded in advance and find a way to outwit the other with a view, often even before he himself knew exactly what was believed and did.
 It's hard to imagine a meeting between people is more stressful free from physical violence is real. Missionary activity has always held the psychological violence contained in it, however it is done discreetly. He was directed to divert the minds and hearts of people away from their native religion to a religion that is not generally sympathetic and hostile to him.
Muslims in Indonesia is very diverse and understanding of Islam also stratified. If this is not taken into account carefully, then there will be considerable resistance. Ultimately, this situation could cause a bad image of the Sharia (syari’ah/ the low ) itself, that Sharia law as a godlike was not functional. [1].





Group of secular and non-Muslims, do not want religious law (Islam) into national law, either in part or whole, even some Muslims themselves there who disagree with the formalization of sharia, because many of the provisions of Sharia are considered not in line with democracy, such as freedom and tolerance, including in this case is a question of freedom of religion, while it is in classical fiqh of people who convert from Islam (apostasy / conversion of religion), must be put to death .. Solving the problem doctrinaire and academic accountability, above all that is which methodology can be distinguished in terms of which the doctrine of Islam that still remain (al-tsawabit) and which can be transformed through reinterpretation (al-mutaghayyirat).
Islamic Ummah in addressing the trend to formalize this Shariah, Rifyal Ka'bah giving is a very moderate and flexible, that the unity of Islamic Sharia precedence over differences that cause conflict. Because of that pluralism should be viewed in the context of a life together that is harmonious, rational, peaceful, tolerant and help each other and fill the contents of their fellow creatures of Alloh. [2]
In the context of the position of Muslims and non Muslims, who maslahah at this point is the similarity between the citizens, because it is based on the principle of peace and equality. Aspiration to the formalization of Islamic Sharia
that is special aspirations of Muslims, who constituted the majority. However, the formalization of Shariah is just not easily implemented in these countries are very plural. Therefore, it is necessary or essential substantive implementation of Sharia law through integration / Islam into national law. Efforts to integrate religion into the national system is actually not only the monopoly of Islam, but it is the right of all religions in Indonesia. Of course, these efforts need to be accompanied by the objectification of the teachings of Islam,[3] so that the implementation of this teaching is not only understood solely as a form of subordination of Muslims to Allah (ta'abbudi) but he is needed as a common rule, because in principle the rule of law both in a state is a rule that is acceptable to all parties, and not just because they had to follow the majority.[4].
        Controversy among the Mazhab of Islamic law[5]  on the application of legal sanctions riddah / religious conversion, the death penalty and sentenced not to death, because there are differences in istinbat law, in which methods and approaches they use it differently in the diligence, so that mutual legal product contrary. Some scholars categorize that is riddah as jarimah hudûd confirmed the sentence of capital punishment, while other scholars claim that riddah it is not as jarimah hudûd are not necessarily condemned to death. With the presence of this disagreement, would lead to difficulties in implementing them in a country. Legal unification process can be applied to all citizens of a pluralistic country that became a necessity, therefore it is necessary to have a solution that can satisfy all parties and countries to uphold the rule of law is really a sense of justice in society can be realized.

CHAPTER II
CONCEPTUAL


1.      Understanding Religious Conversion

a.       According to the etymological sense of religious conversion from the conversion of other words "Conversio" meaning: repentance, moved, and changed (the religion). Furthermore, the word is used in English word that contains the concept of Conversion: change of a state or from one religion to another (change from one state, or from one religion, to another).
b.      Understanding of religious conversion in terminology. According to this understanding will be put forward some opinions about the meaning of religious conversion among others:


1)      Max Heirich said that religious conversion is an act whereby a person or group of people entered or move a little market system of belief or behavior contrary to previous belief.

2)      William James said that religious conversions are many issues related to psychological and environmental influences is the place.


Religious conversion is intended to include some understanding of the characteristics:
(a)   The change of direction and confidence in one's views on religion and belief espoused.
(b)   Changes occurring psychiatric conditions that influenced the change proceeds, or a sudden.
(c)    The changes are not only valid for the transfer of trust from one religion to another religion, but also includes changes view against religion itself.
(d)   In addition to psychological factors and environmental conditions and even then the changes caused by factors guidance from The Almighty.

2.      Factors Causing The occurrence of Religious Conversion
Some experts disagree in determining who becomes the driving factor of the conversion.
a.       The experts claim that religion is a motivating factor is the religious conversion of divine guidance. Supernatural influence plays a dominant role in the process of religious conversion in a person or group.
b.      Sociologists argue that the cause of religious conversion is a social influence. Social influence is comprised of a variety of factors, among others:
1)      The influence of interpersonal relationships, whether social or religious nature non-religion (art, science or other fields of culture).
2)      Effect of regular habits. Such as attending religious ceremonies, or meetings that are religious in both formal and informal institutions.
3)      Influence the recommendation or the propaganda of those who are close. Eg friends, family, relatives, and so forth.
4)      The influence of religious leaders. Good relationships with religious leaders is one of the driving factors of religious conversion.
5)      Influence of society on a hobby. Society is a person based on his hobby of can also be a driving force of religious conversion.
6)      Influence of the leader. Society generally tend to embrace the religion professed by their heads of state or king.

c.       Psychologists argues that the impetus for religious conversion is caused by psychological factors internal and external factors. These factors affect an individual or group to create a kind of symptom distress, it will be compelled to seek out the peace of mind.
William James[6], concluded from his research that the religious conversion because:
1)      The existence of a mental energy that controls the center of one's habit of making himself appear on a new perception, in the form of an idea blossomed steadily.
2)      Conversion of religion can occur because of a crisis or a sudden (without a process).
This conclusion is based on William James, Starbuck[7], divided into two types of religious conversion:
1)      Violation type (gradual changes)
Religious changes of this type occur in proceeds little by little so that later became a set of aspects and new spiritual habits. Such conversion occurs largely as a process of inner struggle that want to distance themselves from sin because he wanted to bring the truth.
2)      Self surrender type (Drastic Change)
This type conversion is the conversion that occurs suddenly. Someone with no experience of a particular process suddenly changed his stance against a religion. Even this change could occur from the condition of the disobedient become more devout, than not believe in any religion then believed, and so on. On this second type conversion according to William James to the influence of the Almighty guidance to someone.
3)      Issues related to the occurrence of religious conversion is based psychologists are in the form of exemption from distress.
Background factors arising from within (internal) and of the environment (external).
1)      Internal factors
Which influence the occurrence of religious conversion is a Personality. The psychology of a particular personality type will affect the lives of one's soul. According to the study W. James has that type of melancholy more profound sense of vulnerability may lead to religious conversion in him. Guy E. According to the study Swanson that there is a tendency of birth order affect the conversion of religion. Middle children are usually more hesitant in defining religion as compared with the eldest or youngest child.
2)      External factors. Among them are;
(a)    Family factor
Broken home, different religion, loneliness, sexual difficulties, lack of recognition of the relatives, and others. Such a condition would cause a person distress.
(b)   Environment factor
The environment in which to live. People who feel knocked out of the environment will find themselves living alone.
(c)    Status factor
Change in status of a sudden the last example: divorce, out of school or society, change jobs, marry people of different religions.
(d)   Poverty factor
Urgent need for food and clothing can affect the occurrence of religious conversion.
(e)    Education factor
That the conventions of religion is affected by the condition of education. Establishment of schools under the auspices of religious establishments must have a religious purpose as well.
According Zakiyah Daradjat, Factors influencing religious conversion is[8] :
1)      Inner contradictions (conflicts of the soul)
The feelings of tension a restless people, who in his fight various problems, which sometimes - sometimes he felt helpless against the issue or problem it is easy to experience religious conversion, including the inner tension that is not inability comply moral values ​​and religion in his life.
2)      Influence the relationship with religious tradition.
Activities of religious institutions have a major influence, especially social activities. The habit is experienced as a child, through the guidance of institutions that religion, including one important factor that facilitates the conversion of religion if the adult age he became indifferent to religion and mental tension experienced inner conflicts are not resolved.
3)      Invitation and suggestions.
Religious conversion events occur because of suggestion and persuasion from the outside if the person's conversion experience can feel relief and inner peace in the new faith, so long eventually it will go into his personal beliefs.
4)      Emotional factors
In a study George.A. Coe that religious conversion is more common in people who are ruled by his emotions. There are emotional peoples (much more sensitive or controlled by his emotions) susceptible to suggestion when he suffered anxiety. According to G. Stanlay Hall, famous for their teens to the age of emotional shock. According Starburk, that the age that stand for religious conversion in males is 16 years 4 months, and for women 14 years and 8 months. If us back to reality in life, not least which conversion events occurred at the age of 40 or 50 years or more.
5)      Volition
Willingness is also an important role in religious conversion. Proved that the conversion events that occur as a result of inner struggle that want to experience conversion. this can be followed from the biography of Imam Al Ghazali who experience that our work and the book - the first book on the reefs is not of faith, but came from a desire to find the name and rank.

3.      The process of religious conversion
According to Penido MTL, argues that religious conversion contains two elements, namely:
a.       Elements of the self (endogenous origin),
The process of change that occurs in a person or group. Conversions that occur in the inner consciousness to form a hold of a transformation caused by the crisis of the individual. This process occurs according to the psychological symptoms which reacts in the form of psychological destruction of the old structure and ones with the process appears also selected a new psychological structure.
b.      Elements from the outside (exogenous origin)
The process of change that comes from outside the self or the group, so as to control the consciousness of people or groups concerned. The power that comes from outside is then pressed their effects on consciousness, perhaps in the form of stress, so it takes result by the question.
Framework put forward by the process of religious conversion:
a.       H. Carrier
Divide the process in the staging as follows:
1)      The disintegration of the synthesis occurs as a result of cognitive and motivational with crisis of experienced.
2)      Reintegration of personality based on the conversion of a new religion, it creates a new personality as opposed to the old structure.
3)      Growing acceptance of new conception of religion as well as the role demanded by his teachings.
4)      Arising out of the new state of consciousness that it is a sacred calling God is instructions.
b.      Dr. Zakiah Daradjat.
Give his opinion based on psychological processes that occur through five stages:
1)      The period of calm
While this condition of one's soul in a state of calm, because the problem has not affected his religion. Where all the attitudes, behaviors, and their properties against religious indifference.
2)      The period of unrest
This stage takes place if the issue of religion have affected his mind. Due to a crisis, disaster or guilt that they experienced. This raises shaking the inner life, resulting in shock that raged in the form of anxiety, panic, despair and indecisive. severe mental conflicts that cause people to be more sensitive (easily sensitive, touchy and easily subject to suggestion). At this stage a process of selection of a new confidence to overcome his inner conflict.
3)      The period of conversion
This period occurs after the inner conflict experienced calmness, because the stability of mind in determining the decision to choose a matching or be resigned to the emergence of a sense of tranquility created in the form of willingness to accept the conditions experienced as divine guidance.
4)      The period of calm and serene.
Period of calm and serene contentment brought about by the decision taken. It arises because it has been able to bring the atmosphere of the mind becomes steady as the declaration of the acceptance of new concepts.
5)      The conversion expression.
Disclosure of religious conversion in his attitude, behavior, attitudes and words, and entire way of life change to follow the rules that are taught by religion. That is what will bring permanent and solid change that belief.

c.       Wasyim
Broadly divided into three religious conversion process, there are:
1)      The Restless, anxiety or uneasiness because of the gap between the religious man with God in worship. Characterized by conflict and struggle mentally active.
2)      There is a sense of resignation
3)      Growth is a logical progression, which seems the realization and expression of a conversion experience in his life.
The process of religious conversion, in a society takes various forms:
1)      The process of religious conversion, in a society takes various forms: Drastic changes. Is the process of religious conversion of disobedience to obedience, which the period is fast, because there are problems that can not be solved by individuals, which is caused by the absence of previous individual experience.
2)      Environmental influences. Environmental influences affecting the attitudes and outlook of a religious belief.
3)      The influence of idealism sought. This process usually takes a long time. Individuals always feel in faith dubious. But if, there is evidence that could convince him, then he will be fully convinced.

4.      Convertion in Islam perspective
The life of society, nation and state, between one of the principle is the principle of freedom / independence (al-Hurriyah). This freedom includes freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of studying, freedom has a wealth / property and religious freedom.[9] The freedom of religion is Islam teaches that man is to embrace a religion there should be no coercion and no need to force others (Surah Al Baqarah: 256, Surah Yunus: 99).
         Coercion causes the soul is not peaceful, because there is no compulsion in faith embraced Islam.[10] Fragment of verse, "Do you, forcing humans, that they may be people who believe it"? (Q.S. Yunus: 99). addressed to the Prophet Muhammad who seek in earnest beyond his capability,-that it's almost self-harm in order to invite people to believe in Allah SWT. What did he do for a variety of efforts and various kinds which he means to do so as if it has reached the stage of "coercion", ie, coercion to self and is almost like the coercion of others, although certainly not coercion. Fragment of the text also indicating that the attitude of the idolaters, totally beyond the power of the Prophet Muhammad to change it. [11]. The Word of God (Surat Al-Kahf: 29) "if you want faith, the faith, but if you want a pagan, then the disbelievers". The phrase does not mean that God gives relief to determine the choice between believers and infidels, nor give free ummah to be the choice pursuant to which he liked, but the revelation of God as a form of threat and antipathy towards those who choose disbelief rather than faith. Therefore, at the end of the verses of Allah threatens with hell fire for those who disbelieve in Him and will provide a haven for those who believe.[12]
       God does not give worldly threat to anyone who embraced the religion according to his beliefs, if he converted to Islam or religion other than Islam, as well as religious conversion, or converted from Islam to another religion or of religion other than Islam the religion of Islam. Rights of all people are given the freedom to have their beliefs, without having to be forced and without having to force others. Therefore, if there is for someone at first embraced the religion then move on to other religions (riddah) both from Islam to non Muslims or otherwise, which is often referred to as the act riddah / apostasy, it is necessary to look for the reason if it is seen as a crime that should obtain legal sanction, especially when the sentence was a death sentence. For those who do not have a religion riddah was certainly not a problem. Problems arise when the conduct riddah it is people who already have a religion. In the classical period and Middle Ages, Islam regards those who do riddah of allegiance to Islam is an unforgivable sin. They are considered to be away from God as the owner and can weaken the State, because such action can be categorized as an uprising or rioting. They were deserving of punishment, forced to return to Islam and repent. If required the return to Islam by force and torture. Those who do not embrace Islam again ended his life with the death penalty by the state.[13]
Scholars call this converted specifically referred to as riddah. They gave it to editorial restrictions riddah different, but substantively the same. Riddah the language: that Ar-ruju'u 'ani ila al sya'i ghairihi (turn away from anything to anything else).[14] According to the terms of the religion of Islam is out to disbelief best done by deeds, words, or doubts i'tiqad.[15] Such as the belief that Allah is the Creator of none, apostolic Muhammad is not true, justify an act that is forbidden, such as adultery, drinking liquor and unjust, or forbid the lawful, such as buying and selling, marriage, or deny the obligations agreed on all Muslims, such as denying the five daily prayers, or show behavior indicating that the person concerned has been out of the religion of Islam, such as throwing the Koran to the disposal of sewage, idolatry and sun worship.[16]
Punishment on the perpetrators jarîmah riddah among scholars is still a conflict of opinion, not only of contemporary scholars, but the Imam schools still do not agree in establishing the death penalty for perpetrators jarîmah riddah women, although they agree that the punishment for the offender riddah was bound by the terms of the passage the form of capital punishment.
All the major schools instituted capital punishment for the offender riddah, although they differ about the demise of punishment-stoned, burnt, crucified, killed, expelled / excommunicated, or tortured before death.[17] At the implementation level in the sentencing of the perpetrators of this riddah not all scholars recognize the death penalty, even in interpreting the text, or the passage of legal sanctions for the perpetrators of this riddah there are scholars who do not receive the death penalty, because the passage is necessary to understand the methodological approach istimbat law, so that the text needs to be approached from various aspects, not just accept the corresponding literal meaning but must be reviewed background of the birth of factors including a chronological text, patterns, social conditions, and its purpose.
Riddah death has been agreed by the classical scholars of Islamic law for men, while women there are legal sanctions against dissent. According to Abu Hanifah sanctions are not killed in prison, while jumhur fuqoha (the majority of scholars of fiqh), rejected the opinion of Abu Hanifah and agreed that the death penalty against the offender riddah apply to men and women.[18] According to the Hanafi itself riddah not go as jarîmah hudûd.
         When viewed in terms of the historical beginning of the kholifah Abu Bakr any riddah problem event has occurred on a large scale that shook the stability and eksistansi Islamic State that has been built by the Prophet SAW. Abu Bakr was forced to quell dissent with violence in the history of Islam, known as Riddah war. Events at the time of Abu Bakr Riddah that is the foundation of all sorts of consequences imposition of punishment for heretics. The scholars always cite what happened at the time of Abu Bakr on Riddah as evidence of the early history of the imposition of punishment Riddah. However, in this modern era, this doctrine can be applied to contain the problem. Modern society would oppose it. They assume, that the affairs of religion is a private matter that is included in every human rights. Anyone, including religious doctrines, may not violate the rights of others. Actions taken by Abu Bakr in the capacity as head of government to the tribes of Medina who had escaped it did not include the issue riddah.[19]
     The death penalty for people who are considered "apostate" or out of the religion that still survive today, and is believed by the majority of Muslims today. Although this doctrine is now being strongly criticized by Muslim activists who fight for human rights. Death penalty for perpetrators riddah / apostate, according to them, contrary to human rights, as well as hitting the central doctrine of Islam itself on religious freedom in accordance with the famous verse, la ikraha fi 'l-din. According to the pro-human rights activist, if Islam embraces the principle of freedom of religion but for those who ordered the killing to come out of Islam (apostate), then obviously this is a form of inconsistency. If people are free to convert to Islam, that person should also be given the freedom to leave Islam as well. This principle applies to all religions: If a person is free to convert to Christianity, so he should be free to come out of religion.[20]
      Recognition of one's freedom to choose a religion has been described in early Islam. in fact, freedom is a "slogan" the right of every individual, because one of the fundamental pillars that embody the safety of individuals and communities. Freedom of religion, politics and thinking is a form of reward al-Qur'ân that Allah SWT has given to man. Thus, the issue of religious freedom in Islam is not the goods "imported", but is affiliated with the dynamics of Islamic thought over time. In al-Qur'ân written many verses that clearly reveal about religious freedom. Also, duties and functions of an Apostle instead of forcing all people to embrace Islam, but merely conveys God's message. Al-Qur'ân assertion of religious freedom is a proof that forcing someone to convert to Islam is not justified. The issue of religious freedom in Islam is not limited to allowing a vote against a religious man, but more than that, give freedom to the followers of every religion to carry out the rituals of their religion. This is because the 'theme' belief is a matter which will hereafter be reckoned by God on Judgment Day future.[21]
Of course, this view is opposed by the conservative Islamic circles, especially the fundamentalists. Currently, a number of Islamic groups who want to apply the Islamic Sharia, especially relating to "hudûd" (literally meaning "border") or criminal law. Suicide law for apostasy, or leaving Islam, including the law by the pro-Sharia in Indonesia are required to be implemented at this time. Although all religions face this problem, and in particular the level of the scale is so extreme as Catholics / Christians in medieval times, but it must be said frankly that today Islam is a religion that face this problem very seriously. Challenges faced by Muslims today is how to solve this problem excommunication. If not, Islam will continue to be identified by people outside of the violent and exclusive attitudes. Although Islam is basically a religion that teaches peace is clear and live in harmony, peaceful coexistence, but Muslims must honestly admit that there is potential in Islam that leads to the opposite, namely anti-violence and harmony. Duty of Muslims is to make the process of "socio-theological analysis", in a sense break down a number of teaching and social practices that have the potential to cause violence and attitudes of anti harmony and dialogue. Heart of the matter is that the criteria for determining a person as an infidel or apostate is very flexible. Two terms that currently tend to be so easily used to judge the different opinions, just because a trivial difference, someone could be accused of infidels or apostates. Therefore, there are at least three basic agendas in order to display the back face of Islam that is friendly, tolerant and inclusive. First: the necessity to do a critique of some aspects of Islamic tradition that gave birth to hatred seen, inhospitable and intolerant attitude towards other people in pemarginalan religion. Second, having to make a reconstruction (restoration of) the history of tolerance, friendliness and mutual understanding (mutual understanding) between the believers who lost in the Islamic tradition. Third, having to make the interpretation of religious texts that have been considered and given birth to hate outlook, intolerant and hostile towards others religions. In doing reinterpretation or re-interpretation of the texts of the Koran or the need to offer a method of interpretation hadist integrative and ethical perspective of the Qur'an. Through this integrative interpretation method is expected to find an authentic message of the Qur'an as well as a concrete contribution to the efforts of theology embodiment of unity, harmony and peace. The ambiguity in the interpretation of religious texts (al-Qur'an and al-Hadits) due to the method of interpretation has been a tendency characterized, as follows: First; method of partial interpretation of the text that is to take and interpret the text of the Qur'an and al Hadits in apart, paragraph by paragraph, without integrating the whole. Second, the theory of interpretation in the complete texts are considered to be contrary, tend to use the theory of nullification or nasikh and mansukh, without the effort of integration between the texts that are considered contrary to it. Third, tend to be literal-scriptural, that is to interpret the text according to what is written in the text, without digging deep to what lies behind the text (such as historical social context at the time the Qur'an was revealed). Fourth: tends to be more dominant faith without reason did the local historical criticism and the growing age of reason.[22]
To be legal standing in proportionally, it would require an interpretation that is operationally required  compromise do interpretations or hermeneutical interpretation of any text that is opposed by altering the meaning of the face’s text to other, more relevant meanings that seem contradictory. Interpretation effort is done by considering a few things: First: Al-Quran should be read in the whole series, in totality or whole, not partial or in parts, so to avoid being contradictory. Second, need to consider the historical and social context at the time the text of the Qur'an was revealed, both the micro context as the cause it’s nuzul, as well as macro context (social and cultural historical setting at large, including the politico-relegion conflict). These considerations are very important so that efforts takwil or hermeneutical interpretation of the compromise texts is not likely to be contrary to forced or artificial (contrived). Basic theory of interpretation (hermeneutics) is also used Fazlur Rahman in the socio-historical method, known as the theory of double movementnya. Third, distinguishing between moral ideal (universal Ethic) with specific legal rules (special law). Among the moral ideal or universal ethics of the Koran are the most important is justice (al-'is), or egalitarian equation (al-Musawah), consensus, tolerance (al-tasâmuh), please memolong (al -ta'âwun), brotherhood (al-ukhuwwah), freedom (al-Hurriyah) and peace (al-sulh). In addition, there is a moral ideal that religion is a universal principle of maintaining religion, soul, mind, honor and descent as well as maintaining the property. Conceptually, the distinction between moral ideal or universal ethics of the Qur'an with a specific legal rule is grounded in the tradition of interpretation that developed the proposal, which relates to the theory and interpretation kulliy juz'iy (universal and particular). Kulliyah are universal principles that refer to the good of the public (beneficiaries al ummah), which include maintaining the principles of religion, soul, mind, honor and descent, as well as the principle of maintaining the property. Based on these universal principles of Shari'ah foundations built. 're Juz'iyat is the legal principles that are specific. In theory this interpretation juz'iy kulliy and, if the rules conflict with the rules kulliyah juz'iyah, then that becomes the main reference is the rule kulliyah. Therefore, these universal principles to be a very important instrument in understanding and completing texts that are considered incompatible. Fourth: consider the demands of changing times and growing spirit of reason, where the interpreter lives. Existential function of the Qur'an is to provide guidance to people in their social behavior in the world.[23]
Muslims Ekslusifisme developed through the method of partial interpretation and literal text without regard to the aspects of the historical, socio-politico ideological values ​​will result from the establishment of Shari'ah principles of peace and well-being of the ummah to be annihilated and Muslims impressive not only against human rights , but the conflict has been building for human life that brings mudharat or damage.
According to Al-Na'im to re reconstruction of some aspects of the Shari'ah to adhere to the fundamental sources of Islam and remains consistent in the view of morality and religion in Islam. The first step can be done by way of the view that Sharia law, especially concerning the public is not a sacred law, making it possible to change some aspects of the legal provisions without destroying the sense of religious Muslims. He could develop following human development. Although taken from a sacred source, Shari'ah is not sacred because it is a product of human interpretation of the source. When Muslims are offered to implement Islamic Sharia in the world today in public law with all its consequences, and they are given the freedom to implement it or leave it, without the threat of or accused of apostasy, the majority of them will reject the application of shari'ah. He believes that the application of Shari'ah public law is now counter-productive and will damage the Muslims and Islam itself. Next Al-Na'im argued though riddah (out of Islam) has been criticized by al-Qur'an in the words of the loudest, but the Qur'an does not specify any punishment for riddah. The majority of Muslim jurists had mengkalsifikasikan riddah as that could be put to death as mentioned in the Sunnah. Such classifications violate rights to freedom of religion supported by the Qur'an in several verses. Rely on the authority of the Koran which is higher for the freedom of conscience and denies that there is sunnah that imposing capital punishment, can be explained from the special situation of the cases discussed some modern Muslim writers who argue that riddah not had. This approach does not discuss the negative consequences other riddah in Shari'ah, nor preclude the imposition of other penalties for riddah with ta'zir.[24]
Shahrur view that: the only criteria for taking or not the laws contained in the Sunnah of the Prophet is whether the laws are in line or is contrary to the Qur'an and the facts of life. If appropriate, it is taken and if the contrary, it is abandoned.[25] In the context of the determination of the death penalty for perpetrators jarîmah riddah clear only found in the Sunnah of the Prophet, not specified in the Qur'an.
Muhammad S. El Awa state that riddah does not include hudûd, but punished with severity ta'zir which is determined by the ruler. But the ta'zir punishment is given only if  riddah cause damage in the community. This means that if the act does not cause damage riddah in society, then there should be no punishment whatsoever.[26]
        Indonesia is not the state religion although the State protect religious adherents, in addition to the multicultural and prularis citizens. It seems to formalize Islamic law binding for all citizens will experience a serious obstacle, it does not mean there is no chance, but the impact that will arise therefore, should be a political calculation and calculations for the integrity of the unitary Republic of Indonesia. The problems that arise related to the old infrastructure of the Penal Code and the development of internal problems in the midst of the externally added strong encouragement from the public to sue the state to immediately realize the codification of criminal law which is national.[27] The struggle toward the establishment of a national legal system refers to the value and morality of Islam is an absolute must work optimally. To implement all that does not have to change the Republic of Indonesia into an Islamic state, but most importantly that Islamic law must be internalized and become the main foundation for the structure of national law. Therefore, Islamic law can serve as the main foundation and complement the deficiencies of national law.[28]
Strength of Islamic Sharia in managing public order and peace, but that is moral and normative in the field and muamalah ubudiyah, should also be supported in the field of jinayah to all the rights of the deprived communities can be restored. Therefore, the Islamic criminal law as public law which regulates the public order, should dilegislasi into positive law.[29] Positifisasi of Islamic Sharia is meant as an attempt to legalize the Islamic Sharia law to be positive, then applied them in real life practice. The process of legalization of Islamic Sharia in the form of draft laws can be delivered from the executive and legislative or other designated party, as a manuscript proposal academics. Then the bill is processed into law or other regulations that have a holding capacity and meet the elements of justice and the rule of law in society.

Religious conversion etymologically derived from the Latin word "conversio" which means repentance, moved, changed (the religion). While the conversion of religion (religious conversion) in general can be interpreted by the change of religion or a religion. According to Thouless (1992), religious conversion is the term generally given to the process that leads to the acceptance of a religious attitude, a process that can occur gradually or suddenly.
According Moqsith, the kinds of religious conversion to differentiate into two types: (1) internal conversion, occurs when a person moved from school to school and a particular perspective and other perspectives, but still within the same religion. (2) Conversion of external, occur when a person moving from another religious faith.
Psychological process that occurs through the five stages, namely: the quiet, the lack of calmness, the conversion, the calm and serene, and the conversion. Religious scholars declared that the driving factor is the religious conversion of divine guidance.
In general, contain two elements of religious conversion as expressed by MTL Penido, there is: the elements of the self (endogenous origin) and elements from the outside (exogenous origin).
In Islam perspective (The authority peoples or scholars), Conclusion of the issues discussed:

a.       According to Imam Malik, Shafi'i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal:
Riddah it be categorized as either perpetrators jarimah hudûd, that men riddah and women riddah and the law sanctions the death penalty. While the Imam Abu Hanifa did not categorize riddah as jarimah hudûd, although legal sanction for men sentenced to death, and for women are not executed but imprisoned. Source is used as the basis for the offender to death sentencing riddah / apostate, based on the proposition zonni. Consequently riddah position and legal sanctions to be the case ijtihadi.

b.      According Majority of contemporary scholars:
Majority of contemporary scholars do not agree that is riddah as jarimah hudûd that should put to death, with the reasons: Al-Qur'ân does not specify any punishment because God has established the principle of independence faith. Prophet and the Companions were not pushy and did not execute the perpetrators riddah / apostate. The death sentence handed down to him for political jarîmah in the form of rebellion or subversion.

c.       The existence of two poles of thought (formal and substantial cultural)
Is unlikely to find common ground and always will be controversy. Religion became the driving and supporting the development of Indonesia, but on the other hand, the issue of religion can lead to sectarian conflict. The provision of punishment for those who converted / riddah as a form of domination is the absolute truth of a religion. Such provisions for the Indonesian nation that embraces all faiths are the provisions that are difficult to be realized in the criminal law. Major conflicts between Muslims and other religions will arise if it is enforced.

d.      Riddah on the basis of his own choice (usual Jarimah)
is the right of individual freedom. But if it is accompanied his riddah other motives (political jarimah and or breach of public order) that result in conflict, instability and disintegration of the nation, then he could be sentenced ta'zir death penalty, prison, or other. Legal sanctions were dropped because there are aspects of crime not because his riddah.

[5] Mażhab berasal dari Żahaba yang berarti pergi atau berjalan; Mażhab = tempat berjalan; secara terminologis berarti aliran, doktrin, ajaran. (Atabik Ali,. dan Ahmad Zuhdi Muhdlor, Kamus Kontemporer Arab-Indonesia, (Yogyakarta: Yayasan Ali Maksum. 1996), Cet ke 1. hlm 1677). Mażhab adalah paham atau aliran hasil seorang mujtahid tentang hukum Islam melalui Ijtihãd  atas dasar al- Qur‘ân dan Hadits. (Edy A. Effendy, (Ed). “Prolog: Kaum Intelektual dari Pojok Ciputat”, dalam Dekontruksi Islam Mazhab Ciputat, (Jakarta: Zaman Wacana Mulia, 1999), cet I, hlm. 4), Asad Haydar menyebut tahun 465 hijrah sebagai tahun ditetapkannya empat mazhab yang diakui khilafah Islam waktu itu. (Lihat Jalaluddin Rakhmat, ”Tinjauan Kritis atas Sejarah Fiqh: Dari Fiqih Al Khulafa al Rasyidin hingga Maíhab Liberalisme”, Budi Munawar Rahman (ed), Kontekstualisasi Doktrin Islam dalam Sejarah, (Jakarta; Yayasan Paramadina. 1994), Cet ke 1, hlm 279.) Para imam Maíhab atau Imam Mujtahid itu adalah  Imam Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi’i dan Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, dan sudah cukup dikenal di Indonesia oleh sebagian besar ummat Islam (lihat M. Ali Hasan, Perbandingan Maíhab, (Jakarta: PT Raja Grafindo Persada, 1995) Cet ke-1, hlm. 183 Lihat : Jaih Mubarok, Sejarah dan Perkembangan Hukum Islam, (Bandung: PT.
