Aside from the points Debbie made, the point you made is oxymoronic - that he is a &#039;true Muslim&#039;, when what he did was apostatize - cease being Muslim in the first place i.e. become a NON-Muslim in order to be a TRUE-Muslim.  If Islam was all about peace and goodness, no one would have to convert OUT of it to lead a virtuous life: indeed, one could do it consistent with Quranic teachings.  However, the fact remains that it isn&#039;t, and therefore, the people who have discovered their consciences have generally had to convert out of it - either openly or (in most cases) surrepticiously.  Given that there is a death sentence for apostasy - and not just official executions in an Islamic country, but also unofficial Islamically sanctioned vigilante murders in non-Islamic ones, what he did was indeed courageous.
As for those who are MINOs (Muslims in Name Only), they may be apparently harmless, but the problem is that they lend a statistical weight to Islamic groups worldwide (be it CAIR, MCB, et al) who use that as a basis for demanding more privileges for the mini ummahs in those countries.  I&#039;m therefore slightly more intolerant than Debbie - in my book, the only good Muslim is an ex-Muslim (by which I mean an apostate, not a dead Muslim). </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Squirrel3D<br

The problem with &quot;moderate islam&quot; is that the vast majority are silent for whatever reason when it comes to those who use the koran to justify violence ,hate, intolerance, and general idiocy. This man does not count as a &quot;moderate&quot; since he is now a apostate, and now under the threat of death for leaving the &quot;religion of peace&quot;
Which makes me think, only in this crazy world does the religion that demands (by threat of violence) to be called the &quot;religion of peace&quot; the only religion that kills those who leave that religion? The irony is beyond belief. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The only place I ever see the claim that &#8220;all muslims are terrorists&#8221; is when islamic apologists use the term to attempt to stifle debate about islam.

It is an indication of how much our civilization has voluntarily let itself be browbeat by the Muslims that something like this is news.  When a non-Muslim converts to Islam, it is not considered a news story because other religions to not seek to terrorize or kill those who attack them or leave their ranks.
Hopefully the day will come when Muslims who do not support terrorism or coercion will leave this horrible religion in droves. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone such as Allam (or yourself) who is willing to convert, or to publicly stand up to the Muslims is very courageous.
