Are you trying to fool us into believing the Koran does not provide death for apostates? Anyone can read it ~ the Koran is not a secret.

I’ve read that the Koran itself doesn’t proscribe an Earthly execution for apostates, rather it says to let them think as they will. The punishment of death comes in the next life. This is all Islamic doctrine of course, I’m a Christian, I’m just describing it academically.

Now, there is no denying that many sects of Islam do carry out such punishments, but not all Muslims are that way. The more isolated and backwards sects do, but the Muslims that have more dealings with non-Muslims are, by necessity, less backwards and violent. At least they tend to be.
