If their belief in Islam is so strong, why do they want to murder anyone who leaves the faith?
The reason is that, as long as the foolish, agenda-driven, superstitious lies of that “religion” remain shrouded in secrecy, either by language or obscurity, it can masquerade as a legitimate monotheistic faith that goes back to Abraham.
When someone reveals the abject stupidity of their texts (Such as Salmon Rushdie did with “The Satanic Verses”), they must be slain IMMEDIATELY to preserve the illusion that islam is a “peaceful” religion.
Of particular danger are learned, well versed imams who convert! They want nothing more than to split the shell of deception wide open, and shed the light of truth upon the tenets of islam.
An “educated” muslim who sees the light is more dangerous than an atomic bomb.
