#1 Sure you can change religions, you just won't live to talk about it.

#2 The Mufti speaks out of both sides of his mouth with a forked tongue. Either that or he's an apostate himself.

#3 if the conversions undermine the foundations of society then it must be dealt with by the judicial system

#4 Not true. See the denial noted on LittleGreenFootbals.

Cairo: Egypts top cleric yesterday denied in a statement that he had said a Muslim can give up his faith without punishment.

Ali Gomaa, the mufti of Egypt, was quoted as saying in a posting on a Washington Post-Newsweek forum that Muslims are free to change their faith and this is a matter between an individual and God.

What I actually said is that Islam prohibits a Muslim from changing his religion and that apostasy is a crime, which must be punished, Gomaa said.
