I\'m a Muslim guy. And I do believe in all what came in The Noble Qur'an and some of Hadiths (Only "Strong" hadiths which where mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and Abu Dwud). In Afghanistan a man was prescuted for converting to Christianity, and I believe that death sentence was very wrong. In The Holy Qur'an apostacy was mentioned several times, with none of them prescribing death sentence for apostacy or blasphemy, but promised with hell fire if you didn't repent:
"Those who believe, then disbelieve, then believe again, then disbelieve, and then increase in their disbelief - Allah will never forgive them nor guide them to the path." Surah An-Nisa', 4:137
This verse clearly showes that multiple apostacies are possible. A second apostacy is never possible if you were killed.
Hadiths, and Muhammad's (PBUH) actions:
A hadith says: "Kill whoever changes his religion".
The hadith is so generally worded that it would require the death penalty for a Christian or Jew who converted to Islam. This is obviously not the prophet's intent. The hadith is in need of further specification, which has not been documented.
