> Islamic teachings actively call for believers to punish those that 1) challenge teachings of Mohammed, 2) stop believing in the teachings of Mohammed, 3) stray from the teachings of Mohammed. Often with literal proscribed death sentences.

Utter non sense.

You misunderstand both what Islam is about, the place it gives to the prophet and how sharia works.

Sharia explicitly protects non believers. Did you fail to notice that Jews lived for ages in the various Islamic empires?

As a non Muslim who has lived in majority Muslim countries multiple times, I’m shocked you can actually live in one and come out with such large misconceptions.
