the quran teaches muslims not to friendly with non muslims or to trust them (3:28,4:139,4:144,5:57).it also advocates that the non muslims are the associates of satan(4:77) and warns severe punishment to those muslims who try to be in affable terms with non muslims (5:80).a muslim convert must not be in congenial terms with his non muslim parents (9:23)and he free to murder his parents and kindered (58:22) if they crticise converts new faith.the quran says non muslim are enemies of islam(4:101,60:1,60:13).muslims are commanded to be harsh and ruthless with them (9:73,48:29,66:9), to terrorise them(8:12), to humilate them(9:29), to make war on them(2:216,9:123) and to murder them wherever they are found(9:5),to terroise the world untill islam rules supreme(3:85,5:3,5:33).quran says allah have purchased lives of muslims(9:11-112)in exchange for booty and paradise so thst they are obliged to sacrifice their lives or become martyrs when they go on killing mission

Are you a former muslim? I read at many places that it is very dangerous to convert out of Islam or criticise it, especially in Islam dominated countries. I would like to know the ground reality of any muslim trying to convert out of it. What kind of challenges does he face?

You should have had a lot of guts to convert out of a religion that threatens so much with hell/death for anybody who doesn't be in it. Anyway, I still didn't get the answer to my original question, what are the kinds of challenges a muslim faces if he wants to convert out of it?
According to quran, I read, he is sentenced death. And I also read many former muslims in the west keep a very low profile to escape that sentence and converts in Islamic countries don't even reveal it to anybody. But what is the ground reality? Is it really that dangerous? How do family/friends take it, etc? I am sorry, if I am asking an inappropriate question and please ignore me in that case.

he is NOT a former muslim..he is a current muslim who is simply saying what he thinks all muslims must do and points to verses from the quran in support of his ideals..
