Christian missionaries are selective in their belief in the Bible. While the misconception that Islam instructs regular Muslims to put all apostates to death (which is absolutely untrue) is widely used to deter people from Islam, missionaries ignore the following verses taken from the Bible. It is true that God, heavily frowns upon apostacy in the Quran but it is always a case between God and the apostate - not for us Muslims to judge, nowhere is the layman Muslim told to take God's judgement into our own hands. On the contrary, the horror of these verses from the Bible make the Quran's alleged cruelty and Prophet Muhammad's alleged sword, look very pale in comparison.
