Jihad Against Terrorism
"A section of the people of the Book urge some from among themselves: why not affirm, in the early part of the day, belief in that which has been revealed unto the believers and repudiate it in the latter part of the day, perchance they may turn away from their faith." (3.73)
This used to happen. But these people were never punished.
"Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve and thereafter go on increasing in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them, nor guide them to any way of deliverance." (4.138)
After reading these verses is there any doubt as to what is the Islamic punishment of apostasy.
Finally, the Quran closes the argument by saying "There is no compulsion in religion for the right way is clear from the wrong" (2.257). Therefore, according to the Quran, itself, only a religion that could not prove its arguments through logical reasoning is one that would urge conversions by sword.
