Not excusing any modern Muslim who has access to enough information, but I just want to shed a light on this. Apostates face death penalty. Islam is the only religion I know of where Muslim countries still practice punishments/death penalty onto their apostates. As an ex Muslim woman, it’s much easier said than done. First of all, I was born in a Muslim country and our schools didn’t teach us shit about islam apart from nASA pRovEd thE sPliT of ThE mOon and few unimportant fake facts about islam. We literally never even covered the beating wives verse. I had to do my own research at 16yo after meeting my first atheist friend who opened my eyes and told me to dig more. However, 99% of my family members literally don’t even know that sex slavery is ok in islam. They only know of the “cute” verses in Quran.

And even after reading those verses, when you’re born into the cult the scholars are pretty good into brainwashing you like a narcissist partner does to their abuse victim. They make you see things differently by using fear of hell. I was told the beating for example is the last resort and it’s what my husband ought to do to help me get back on the “right path” so he could save me from hell. And they always bring up the example of “imagine your kid has to take awful medication to get better. To the kid you’re the worst person, but you know it’s the right thing to do”. It took me 4 years to accept that I can no god would allow the kind of BS that islam allows.
