There are many prophetic statements told by prophet Muhammed that order Muslims to KILL anyone who leaves Islam.
In reality, most (if not all) Muslim scholars agree that the only punishment for anyone who leaves Islam (and refuses to re-embrace it within three days) is to be KILLED.
Is there any reason for that horrible punishment?

Can you provide the scriptural reference
I found a few from the Hadiths:
Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17
"Narrated Abdullah: Allah's Messenger said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Messenger, cannot be shed except in three cases: in Qisas (equality in punishment) for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (Apostate) and leaves the Muslims."
Bukhari Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57,
Narrated Ikrima, "Some atheists were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's messenger forbade it, saying, "Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire)." I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."

Yes.
The demon called allah DEMANDS total SUBMISSION!
To be an ifidel means DEATH.
The Unholy Book says:
"Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not
the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at
your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah
and your enemy... Prophet, (Muhammed) rouse the faithful to arms!
If they (the non-Muslims) incline to peace (accept Islam) make
peace with them." - Sura 8:59

Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them nor will He guide them to the right way. (4:138)
This verse proclaims that persons who renounce Islam have the opportunity to re-enter Islam if they so choose. This verse disproves the assertion that according to the Holy Quran an apostate should be put to death. Were death the automatic punishment for an apostate then there arises no question of having the opportunity to join Islam again. This verse mentions apostates who again accept Islam.
There is no mention in the Holy Quran or anywhere else of any punishment for an apostate which may be meted out to him by any other person. The consequences of his apostasy in this world and in the next life lie solely in the hands of God. Man is free to accept or reject whatever beliefs he chooses. God says in the Holy Quran:
There is no compulsion in religion. (2:257)
It is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will believe and let him who will disbelieve. (18:30)
Islam recognizes the right of freedom of conscience and freedom of belief and that as far as one's religious belief is concerned one is answerable to God alone. No man has the right to punish another for his choice of belief. There is absolutely no compulsion whatsoever in Islam and no punishment of any kind permitted in the Holy Quran for apostasy.
Human rights are laid own in the Holy Quran which guarantee man the right of perfect freedom of faith and conscience. In such matters God is the Judge - not man.

Yes Muhammed did say for anyone who leaves Islam to be killed.
Wrong reason to kill anyone.

Anyone who wishes to leave or twist their faith by fighting God and his messenger, plus also causing destruction.
The options are:
- Death
- Crucification
- Cutting of the left hand and right leg or vice versa.
- Exile
As you can see, there are worse options than death.
It should be noted that you will probably be 'pounded' to death for breaking the 'nocombackie law'.

It's in the Quran, not sure if it's from Muhammad or Gabriel or Allah directly.
You become an infidel and get into the same boat as other infidels.
