And if you rewatch the video in the OP, there was a chart that showed the percentage of Muslims who approved of the death penalty for leaving Islam in certain Muslim countries. In some countries, the percentage was disconcertingly high, but in other Muslim countries the percentage was way low. So if Islam itself clearly says to kill apostates, why do some Muslim countries in general seem to disapprove of this? If you want to go by what the Qur'an says, again that depends on one's interpretation and selective picking of verses. Some Muslims go with the "no compulsion in religion" verse and believe strongly in it. So if you want to criticize Islam, which by all means you have the right to do so, you have to keep in mind that religion is a set of ideas open to more than one interpretation.
It's dangerous to be a Muslim. 82-95% of Islamic terrorism kills other Muslims.
