Forced conversions, penalty, death.
nice try though
The study, from the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU), showed that "unbelievers" in Islamic countries face the most severe - sometimes brutal - treatment at the hands of the state and adherents of the official religion.
According to its survey of some 60 countries, the seven where expression of atheist views or defection from the official religion can bring capital punishment are Afghanistan, Iran, Maldives, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Sudan.
The 70-page report lists no recent cases of actual execution for "atheism" -- but researchers say the offence is often subsumed into other charges.
In a range of other countries - such as Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Kuwait and Jordan - publication of atheist or humanist views on religion are totally banned or strictly limited under laws prohibiting "blasphemy".
Christians are losing their lives, liberties, businesses and their houses of worship across the Middle East. It is little wonder that native Christians have sought refuge in neighboring countries—yet in many cases they find themselves equally unwelcome. Over the past 10 years, nearly two-thirds of Iraq's 1.5 million Christians have been driven from their homes. Many settled in Syria before once again becoming victims of unrelenting persecution. Syria's Christian population has dropped from 30% in the 1920s to less than 10% today.

Islam also claims that their practice predate Abraham as the meaning of the concept of acceptance of one god, because by the bible teachings it was under Abraham that monotheism started this also helps to link Abraham to Islam.
Kind of interesting. I am not an organized religion supporter and neither practice any denominations of religion at all, because I find all human created religions fascinating when it comes to their primary goal and how they achieve it.
Islam links to Abraham is something that I am just starting to research on lately, perhaps this a new concept to make Islam more appealing to western nations that practice christianity.

EVIDENCE THAT BERGDAHL CONVERTED TO JIHADI ISLAM
BERGDAHL’S COOPERATION WITH THE ENEMY
Bob. Sgt. Bergdahl’s father was also in direct communications with one of the top three Taliban spokespersons named Abdulqader Balkhi. Was he planning to smoke a Hukkah? Drink Afghan tea?
No
He had messaged this top Taliban spokesperson a message for future victories:
I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every afghan child, amen!
Also, if you look up Robert Bowe Bergdahl on Intelius, it says that he worked for the Taliban:

You can quote the qu'ran all you want .. but in practice, Islam puts people to death for leaving or for not converting. That is how Muslims have interpreted their Qu'ran. That's Islam.
Actually there are many muslim countries who doesn't practice murdering of an Apostate . You can believe all you want that ALL muslims want to kill apostates but that is not the truth. YOu've said " That is how Muslims have interpreted their Qu'ran. That's Islam."
let me retort if I may ; That is how SOME Muslims have interpreted their Qu'ran. That's NOT Islam.
The Christian Pastor sentenced to death in Iran for not becoming Muslim.... The pregnant woman recently sentenced to death for being Christian and for marrying a Christian. Reality is different than your quotes.
Sounds just and wise , essentially it trusts human beings to show their humanity
This is a scary scenario for sure. Where do we draw the line

Like the beheading of Nicholas Berg on camera? The execution of policeman on camera? The torture and mutilation of Christopher Stephens? Very humane, for barbarians.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.
