I dare you to leave Islam, Ali

Ali, you say: If Islam was so bad there would be no Muslims.

Your question was disingenuous, because you already know that if you were to denounce Islam and leave, you would immediately be sentenced to death.

If you are born in an Islamic country, you have no choice. You are born and Muslim and always remain a Muslim -- UNDER THREAT OF DEATH! Why does your religion issue death threats to keep its followers? Because it is well aware that without such a death threat so many would leave.

You challenge others to read the Koran. Well, I've read it, perhaps not all, but enough for me to understand that it is EVIL!

As a Muslim, you are taught never to question the "truth of Islam" and to believe in Allah and his messenger with blind faith. You are told that Allah forgives all sins but the sin of disbelief (Koran 4:48 and 4:116).

As an "infidel," you would be sentenced to death, AND YOU KNOW IT!

I could quote from the Koran many of the sutras that order Muslims to kill infidels, but I'm sure you know all about them.

Test my assertion, Ali. Just leave Islam and see how many more days you remain alive. If you live in the U.S., then perhaps you'll live a little longer. If you live in an Islamic country, you'd be gone by sundown!
