No one has every bothered to answer these questions, but they are quick to call me or anyone else all sorts of names when we are outraged by Islamic terrorism.
1. can a muslim convert freely to another religion and not be sentenced to death or be ostrasized?

3. Do they support the parts of sharia law that demand appendages be cut off for thieves?
4. Do they believe that someone who slaughters innocent people will go to heaven?
5. can a muslim marry a nonmuslim without forcing the other to convert?
6. will a muslim show respect for other religions by wishing others a Merry Christmas or happy Diwali?
