Wow kesian so many religion riders butthurt that I point out hypocrisy triggered to abuse report button.

Unfortunately, those zealots are far far louder with their kutukan because of their holier-than-thou attitude, and the atheist ones dare not respond. End up nons kena tempias because they support freedom to choose.

When do atheist muslims ever speak up against the zealots?

Tak pernah papar anywhere also.

Actually the context of 2:256 is a bit blur in this aspect, and might not be applicable with naskh, because the story behind it is that a muslim woman was going to get her child to be jewish because most of the children in that tribe of often did not survive. One of the prophet's honchos want to force it islam onto the woman's child to which the prophet prevented. Since a child can't readily accept the religion on his/her own accord, it wasn't forced upon.

But if you're talking about a full grown adult, that's a different story, ie chop chop chop.
