Of the 57 countries in the world that have an Islamic majority, in 29 of them there are laws against any Muslim trying to escape their religion by converting to another one or declaring apostacy. In many of these countries a Muslim who apostates will simply be killed, usually by his or her own family to escape their shame. In others, they are imprisoned or sent to insane asylums.
Most of these 29 nations are stone-age dumps like Niger, Somalia, Yemen, etc... But in Malaysia for example, the most technologically advanced and wealthiest Islamic nation in the world, the sentence is 2 years in prison.
Islam is the only religion allowed by law in 20 nations, including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Kuwait, all U.S. allies (supposedly).
I can think of no nation on earth where any member of any other religion can be killed or imprisoned for choosing another, can you?
