In Islam, apostates - those who leave Islam - are the worst and condemned to death.

Try this. Google "convert from islam" and see what you get. First, most of the links are about conversion TO Islam and resources to help you, and all kinds of testimonials from converts TO Islam. All out there in the open, not subject to restriction or violence. Not so much for resources to help you convert FROM Islam. In fact, any open advocacy of such would likely result in violence by Islamists.

Midway down page 1 you find something that does link to "convert from Islam" - a story about a convert to Christianity who was murdered.

Page 2 is the same - all about conversion TO Islam. And so it goes on subsequent pages. The only mentions of conversion FROM Islam involve real or potential violence against converts. In the first 10 pages (all I looked at) there is not a single link to a site advocating conversion FROM Islam or presenting a positive story about or testimonial from a convert FROM Islam.

Islam is a religious diode - current flows only one way. That one way aspect is enforced with violence of the worst sort. So anyone who jumps out of Islam is worse than the atheist. The atheist is not automatically to be killed. The apostate is.
