Freewill only exists where you have a free choice - islam does not allow that -
There are muslims who are born and brought up in muslim countries and still reject islam and go on to do the things that Islam prohibits.
and what happens to them??
how many moer people might like to convert - or simply decide they don't want to believe anythign at all - but are restrained from doing so because
of the strictures of islamic law - whoever it is decides to enforce them??
Free will only exists where you arre FREE to make up your own mind - if you think islam allows it in the matter of choice of religion then you are in
cloud cuckoo land!
And yes, there are islamic regimes who harshly enforce Islamic law.
and hter are individual moslems who do so in western countries, and in non-western countries that do not officially haev islamic law too......
But Islam itself teaches this regarding free choice....
“If it had been your Lord’s will, all of the people on Earth would have believed. Would you then compel the people so to have them
believe?” -(Quran 10:99)
That's fine for all teh people who aer not born moslem - what does the koran say aboutthem changing religion??
And what does it say about the fate of x-ians and jews? Something about burning in hell, having awfull dooms perhaps?? Why does it enjoin moslems
not to have jewish or x-ian friends??
come on - there's more than 1 verse in the koran....
