Meaning, in these countries you can be put to death for leaving the religion of Islam for another faith or becoming an atheist:
Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen are the relevant countries.
Where are these countries getting their information? Is there anything in the Quran or the life of the prophet that supports this?
There isn't a single Christian country where apostasy is punishable by Death. What is responsible for these policies being found in Muslim countries and not Christian countries?
Obviously these policies are there to prevent people from converting to another religion... however, it is policies like this that are increasing Islamaphobia, and will in the end hinder conversions.
Do you think these nations will become more tolerant? Do you think immigrants from these nations become westernized on average, or do they mainly bring that mentality to the West?
It's sad, that in our modern scientifically enlightened age, there are still 13 countries were simply converting to a new religion or becoming an atheist can be punishable by Death... What is the solution?
