Young Muslims begin dangerous fight for the right to abandon faith - Times Online (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article2426314.ece)

"Young Muslims begin dangerous fight for the right to abandon faith."

“Sharia schools say that they will kill the ones who leave Islam. In the West people get threatened, thrown out of their family, beaten up,” Mr Jami said. “In Islam you are born Muslim. You do not even choose to be Muslim. We want that to change, so that people are free to choose who they want to be and what they want to believe in.”

Shouldn't people be free to choose?

Yes you should it will be up to God not man to decide on your final fate.

Most of the Sharia schools are Wahabi sect in origin and I am not sure that they follow the entire Holy Qur'an at times.

Everyone has the freedom to choose. You are not born into a certain religion
