Islam, they will not be accepted back, unity
is important but not with corrupt with corrupt you can only have
conditional working relationship. Plus everyone should directly and
indirectly put in effort to find out more cases like these and bring
them to public, I am sure this is just the matter of finding out.

Though my thoughts and experience but like always they can be wrong, if
so may God forgive me and like always if so prove me wrong. May God open
the eyes of the world to the reality that Muslims are facing today, May
God give all the Muslims ability to be direct and honest about their
experiences, may God make all the world courageous and brave and give
them ability to face and follow the truth. May God save humanity from
the mind control plans of cowardly cowards, and may God give us the
character and faith of his real and true followers.

Islam for going against
