Infidels, apostates & heretics exist in every religion.

According to Islam all human beings are equal in the sight of allah. So, why do the Muslims consider people in their own religion as infidels, apostates & heretics? These guys are subject to a Fatwah and assassination.

That's the reason Islam remains a backward religion -- going back to the 7th century. There seems to be no room for reform or reformers. Therefore, 'Violent Jihadis vs.Lawful Jihadis' will always exist.
