I don't believe that utter rot for one second Atlas.
Yes the Quran might say that, in practice though that is not the truth and we can all see it. No person ever hung on charges of heresy, blasphemy, apostasy or homosexuality ever went to the gallows wanting to be put to death. That's complete bollocks.
There is compulsion in a state run by theocratic law, or in immigrant communities in the West where it is pressured to follow the religion, or at least be quiet about it if you don't follow. Period. We can go back and forth about whether that's "authentic" or "true Islam" but that's irrelevant, when it's still the reality millions of people live in across the world.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
