Choose Islam? Aren't most of the Muslims born into it,
and if they try to leave they face DEATH.
Here is the hypocrisy with Islam. Muslims always target people from other religions for conversions in to Islam (especially orphans, criminals, and women). But once they convert to Islam, they are not allowed to go back to their original religion under any circumstances. And as you said, apostasy is punishable by death in Islam.
Kaltun misrepresented the reality of Islam when he tried to argue "only read the Koran and look for answers in it."
Millions of Fatwas say differently.
These are "correct interpretations" of the Islamic texts which regulate every minute aspect of a Muslim's life.
