Moderation is a step in the right direction. I wish WinterHold the best when attempting to get other Muslims to agree with him. I'd love to see him discuss this with Kloro.
Actually, the negative sentences are all derived from the Sunni and Shiite Hadith -especially the sentences about apostasy-.
The Quran must be taken as a single book, as a single unit; it's very hard to cherry-pick unless you want to make a mess out of your interpretation. It's not a long book, and it is very very clear and straightforward.
I'll say Muslims need to reject the Hadith and start focusing on the revelation of God (i.e the Quran); but so many of the takers of benefit from the mess of following the Hadith would oppose this.

Taghut = disbelief
The verse can't be clearer: isn't this identical to the secular rule that prevents the enforcing of belief on anybody?
Freedom of belief is guaranteed in Islam under the protection of this verse. The Quran is God's word; so no Muslim has the right to cross it.
To bad it's not Freedom from belief. You should probably stop trying to defend the Islam.

The Quran never said that apostasy should be punished with death; ever.
On the other hand, all the wikipedia article provided is the opprisive actions of Muslim governments of today.
There are no verse in the Quran saying that apostasy is punished by death (across its 600 pages).
