    That’s not what 2:54 says. Also that’s not at all what history shows. The city of Medina was under literal siege from the Meccans camped outside the city’s barriers. Anyone who publicly left Islam went out and joined the opposing army, so at the time they were executed for treason, not changing religions. Learn your history better, ask any history department rather than an anemic English Wikipedia page that lacks more Arabic sources.

        2:54 is quoting Moses talking to the children of Israel about how God forgave them for worshipping the call, it is not a command today about punishing people who change religions. Of all the ayaat to quote you used the least relevant one that said the literal opposite of what you claimed. No wonder you’re so misled, did you get that inaccurate one from Wikipedia too?

        It’s not common knowledge, it’s a popular myth. The scholars are not saying what you’re claiming, which is why I suggested you find better sources than Wikipedia; the Arabic page and the English page don’t even agree.

        I never once gave an opinion about evolution so you’re strawmanning me or lumping me in someone else. You don’t know me but keep acting like all Muslims are alike.

            Oh so now you’re trying to No True Scotsman me? Buddy I lead prayers at the mosque. You presume to educate me about my own religion? How many years have you studied it, pray tell? Show me your ijaza before you talk down to me. There’s nearly 2 Billion Muslims out there, of course there’s going to be various sects and interpretations, but you don’t care since you only accept the one that fits your hateful narrative, regardless of how many other Muslims oppose it.

            The majority of the world’s Muslims live in democracies but that’s clearly not relevant to you since it doesn’t prove your prejudices. Go educate yourself.
