Good point.
I'm sure every Muslim has their own idea. Those that have the freedom to think for themselves without being killed, that is.

So 1.1 billion would be for the death for leaving Islam.
Not necessarily. Sharia can be interpreted in different ways. Not everyone who believes in Sharia believes that Allah actually wants adulterers to receive the death penalty or thieves to have their hands chopped off.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Obviously, those are not "True Muslims," C/L.
It's a very malleable doctrine!

As are all!
They're a good reason for good people to be good and a even better reason for bad people to be bad.

Thanx for #12 there.
Always wondered how Islamic armies could pillage with impunity, that caveat says it all.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
