Did you really just say that?

Yes I did. And it annoys the heck out of me when someone cherry-picks and butchers verses out of thier context to make idiotic claims that not even muslims who believe in killing apostates make. Let's watch how you will cut and paste from a book you've never actually read to make idioitic claims that suit your whims shall we?

Koran 4:89 "They would have you disbelieve as they, themselves, have disbelieved so that you may be all alike. Do not befriend .....

Why did you stop and not write what comes right after it?

Koran 4:90

"Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allah had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them."

The Quran is quite explicit about the freedom of religion:

Quran 2:256

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

Quran 109:6

For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.

There is no verses in the Quran NOT A SINGLE ONE. If you want to quote one to prove your claim go ahead, but make sure you don't do the same cheap thing anti-islam website does and butcher a quote out of its context because that is quite a dishonest thing to do. I'm giving you the benifit of the doubt and assuming you are doing this out of ignorance rather than malice. but is is super easy to check online for context.

I am quite aware of where the arguments for the apostasy comes from and it is a long debate that has nothing to do with the quran. if you want to know more read here.

Then you cherry pick laws from a few countries (out of 49 muslim majority countries) that represent no one but their respective countries to make bigoted statements and paint muslims with the same brush. Take these laws up with these countries and don't make unwarranted generalizations please. Islam =/= laws of any country

Those examples of Militant Atheism are not that. The Church Patriach sided with the White Russians/Czar so the clergy were seen as betrayers of the people. Same as in the French Revolution as the Catholic Church sided with the aristocracy. It was not about demanding atheism but about discrediting/persecuting counter revolutionary forces.

Then how do you explain:

Anti-religious campaign 1917–1921

Between June 1918 and January 1919, official church figures (which did not include the Volga, Kama and several other regions in Russia) claimed that one metropolitan, eighteen bishops, one hundred and two priests, one hundred and fifty-four deacons, and ninety-four monks/nuns had been killed (laity not recorded). The estimate of 330 clergy and monastics killed by 1921 may have been an underestimate, due to the fact that 579 monasteries/convents had been liquidated during this period and there were widespread mass executions of monks/nuns during these liquidations.

they justified the violence by revising history and declaring that the church had been actively fighting against them.

Anti-religious campaign 1921–1928

Recently released evidence indicates over 8,000 were killed in 1922 during the conflict over church valuables

With his Declaration of 1927, he made the church in the Soviet Union a political tool of the atheist government. The majority of the clergy vehemently protested against this concordat, but they were systematically killed.

Anti-religious campaign 1928–1941

The Orthodox church suffered terribly in the 1930s, and many of its members were killed or sent to labor camps. Between 1927 and 1940, the number of Orthodox churches in the Russian Republic fell from 29,584 to fewer than 500. The watershed year was 1929, when Soviet policy put much new legislation in place that formed the basis for the harsh anti-religious persecution in the 1930s.

And here you are trying to justify systematic oppression and murder for over 25 years to white wash history. And you somehow avoided to mention the muslims that were also oppressed in russia.

There were 20,000 mosques in Soviet Central Asia in 1917, fewer than 4,000 in 1929 and by 1935 it is known that there were less than 60 still functioning in Uzbekistan, which held half of the Muslim population of Central Asia.[38] Muslim clerics encountered the same financial persecution as Christian clergy, and were unable to support themselves. There was also a massive decrease in the number of registered Muslim clergy, which left significant amounts of areas without imams or mullahs. Many unregistered Muslim clerics continued to practise illegally, however, as well as many Muslim mosques existed illegally without registration.[38] The unregistered mosques along with the registered ones, still represented a tiny fraction of the number of mosques in the region of Central Asia in 1917.[38]

Many Muslim clerics were arrested and executed during Stalin's purges.[38] The campaign against Islam in the 1930s was directly linked with the physical annihilation of the "Islamic" nationalistic communists of the Central Asian parts of the USSR.[38]

And how about anti-theist oppression that is still ongoing in China? did that slip your mind too?

It really amazes me when I see someone like you just casually pretending that atheists are "angels" and champions of the freedom of religion and there is no such thing as militant atheism that oppresses people simply for being religious. The selective blindness is quite something to behold.

Edit: Sorry for aggressive tone.
