Winter rejects hadiths precisely because he rejects the penalty for apostasy (capital punishment), which does exist in Islam. Apostasy is not merely leaving religion, there is also the intent to spread disorder and threaten social cohesion (in a Muslim nation-state), it's equivalent to treason in common law.
The Ottoman empire lasted for more or less 600 years, and there is no reported case of applying this penalty, mainly because it's extremely difficult to prove it in court.
