No escape

Clash of "you know
what".

So, if you choose Islam, you have to abide by the Islamic practices. Why would you want to choose a religion and later defy its teachings? That is where the problem lies. Do not choose a religion which you do not want to comply with. If that is the case, it is better for you to become an atheist -- do not choose Islam, do not choose a religion for that matter.

To leave the religion, there are certain guidelines and methods under Islamic law. If we are born Muslim, fortunately or unfortunately, we are Muslims. Since we are born as Muslims, we are obliged to follow the Islamic law

So if he fulfils all the conditions, he can leave Islam? But in Islam, the penalty for apostasy is death...

We have yet to come across such a case, so I dare not say whether he can leave the religion or not. The matter is being updated and an announcement will be made later. It is still at the drafting stage. It may not be specific for those born Muslims or Muslim converts but there will be a method for Muslims to apply to leave the religion through the syariah court. It is not meant to allow Muslims to become apostates. In the process, we will try to tarbiyah (educate) them so they will remain in the religion. We will continue to try to rehabilitate and reform their faith in Allah.

The principle is, in Islam, once we are in, we cannot leave. That is binding among all Muslims. It is a matter of aqidah (faith). This is a serious matter.

Can't we all just get along? HA.
