Quote:The punishment for apostasy (riddah) is well-known in Islaamic Sharee’ah. The one who leaves Islaam will be asked to repent by the Sharee’ah judge in an Islaamic country; if he does not repent and come back to the true religion, he will be killed as a kaafir and apostate, because of the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."
Between here and Atheistforums.com there have been any number of muslim atheists who, frankly, live in fear of their fellow countrymen finding out. The ability to murder people for professing disbelief is an effective tool to maintain discipline. Xtians did it for centuries.
