Islam admits freedom in religion for all those who are under Muslims' authority, Allah says:

"Say, "The truth is from your Lord" Then whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve," Surat Al-Kahf, Verse 29.

It showed that calling non-Muslims to Islam is only by wisdom and good preaching; it prohibited violence, severity, force, compelling and obligation in calling to religion, because it wants the Muslim to control his heart, so it doesn't concern the appearance of man but concentrate on calling his interior and this only comes by his choice, if we force someone apparently and caused him to do something, we can't affect his heart, if he agrees with us apparently and disagree by his heart this is called hypocrisy, Islam prohibit hypocrisy and scold hypocrites, so we see when Islam calls disbelievers or sons or daughters or wives it mainly depends on what Allah says:

"Let there be no compulsion in religion

" Surat Al-Bakarah, Verse 256.

The call is only by proof, logic and inference, Islam gives man the chance to believe in any religion he chooses and only announces being a Muslim after persuasion, assurance and evidence, once he becomes a Muslim by persuasion and when he apostatizes he seduces other Muslims around him, so Islam takes a position towards him so as not to affect those around him and they also reverse, this is the opinion of some Muslim scholars. But our opinion as most modern Muslim scholars such as the former Sheikh of Al-Azhar Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawy and others, they see that killing the apostate is not a must in Sharia but only in some situations in which the apostate himself turns to be a fighter and a disputant against Islam.

Is President Obama an Apostate?

No, President Obama is not an apostate. An apostate is one who formally vows disaffiliation from, or abandonment or renunciation of a religion. President Obama never did this. He attended a so-called Christian church early in his career as a marxist revolutionary and community organizer but he never renounced his faith in Islam that has only grown stonger as he has aged.


What is apostate killing?

I'm guessing here, but I think it is when someone who converts to a new religion is assassinated by someone from that person's previous religion, because in some places being an apostate (one who changes religions) brings shame on friends and family.
