Ok great, so Quran 2:256 says that. So why then, the Ridda Wars (Wars of Apostasy)? These people were the Sahabah/Salaf yet even they were not given freedom of thought/religion.

I'm just trying to understand the glaring contradiction. But let's not forget, either, the story of the Sikh guru Guru Tegh Bahadur. When people try and pass up Muhammad as a rational individual they say things like "he was severely persecuted yet he continued to pass on the message", therefore he must be telling the truth. Guru Tegh Bahadur had it way worse than Muhammad; he was locked up in a cage by the Fascist Mugal rulers of India and beheaded in front of his friends. Yet, he remained convinced of the truth of Sikhism until his death. Need I go on?
