I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the “no other gods before me” thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

    Your reference is extremist terror groups backed by America. And you’re linking secular websites as a source. The irony is truly not lost here.

      Which one is a bad source… secularism? wikipedia? the times? feel free to enlighten me. i know i sound a bit negative, but i’m not opposed to learning new things as i think this is somewhat a topic that is important for humanity as a whole. i mean the terror groups like ISIS aren’t seperate to the whole religion thing. wars and terror are part of that and can’t be viewed seperately. of course if you exclude all the bad parts of religion and just view the moderate ones that do less harm… it looks way better. but both are a part of the whole story.

      And the question was if the death penalty for apostasy is part of islam. And I said yes, it is part of law of countries, additionally people do it. And it’s written in the hadith. So whether you or I like that or how my neighbor practices islam doesn’t change the facts.
