According to this guy who is apparently a grand poobah among mainstream Sunni Islam:

I could swear I read somewhere that Al-Azhar abolished death of apostates in the 50's. Now to google my arse off -.-' The results so far bring me back to the above vid <_<'

*edit*

Found a few pages - here's one: http://www.mohammedamin.com/Community_issues/Muslims_misguided_enough_to_abandon_Islam_are_free_to_do_so.html

Abdal Hakim Murad points out that the Ottoman Caliphate abolished the penalty for apostasy shortly after 1839 and that al-Azhar University delivered a similar fatwa in 1958. However, he reminds us that radical Salafis and Wahhabis do not accept these verdicts, and Usama points out that most Deobandis, Barelwis and other "traditionalists" also do not.

So poo to you Mr.Al-Azhar Not only is he going back on his country's own fatwa, but he's admitting that Islam keeps people in by using threats of death. Dick
