Freedom of Religion in Islam?
Reader comment on item: Dhimmitude in Practice

Submitted by Kamath (Canada), Dec 30, 2005 at 14:33

I am told that it takes only a witness or two and uttering one's intention to become a Muslim. Very easy indeed! Just accept infalliability of Quran and the final prophethood of Mohammad. That is all.

Remember every Muslim quotes so liberally the Quranic quote," There is no compulsion in religion.." But getting out is a different story. The recent event shows that getting out of Islam is possible only in a coffin.
