If so true, why do you need laws promising punishment?
As of 2021, there were ten Muslim-majority countries where apostasy from Islam was punishable by death,[26] but legal executions are rare.[a] Most punishment is extrajudicial/vigilante,[28][29] and most executions are perpetrated by jihadist and takfiri insurgents (al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, the GIA, and the Taliban).[11][30][31][32] Another thirteen countries have penal or civil penalties for apostates[29] โ such as imprisonment, the annulment of their marriages, the loss of their rights of inheritance and the loss of custody of their children.[29]
In the contemporary Muslim world, public support for capital punishment varies from 78% in Afghanistan to less than 1% in Kazakhstan;[b] among Islamic jurists, the majority of them continue to regard apostasy as a crime which should be punishable by death.[20] Those who disagree[12][4][34] argue that its punishment should be less than death and should occur in the afterlife,[35][36][37][38] as human punishment is considered to be inconsistent with Quranic injunctions against compulsion in belief,[39][40] or should apply only in cases of public disobedience and disorder (fitna).[c] Despite potentially grave and life-threatening consequences, several Muslims continue to leave the Islamic religion,[1][3] either by becoming irreligious (atheism, agnosticism, etc.)[3] or converting to other religions, mostly to Christianity
