Of course they can but the consequences of doing so might vary from mockery to being in danger of their life.

Yes, unless they live in a country where not being Muslim isn't tolerated. Even then, they could secretly hold the beliefs of another religion. But within Islam itself, it wouldn't matter what Islam's stance is about converting to another religion as presumably someone who wants to convert no longer follows Islam's teachings.

Yes. I have met a former Muslim who is now a Christian. He is an amazing man. He was banned from his family. That was kind of his father for just banning him. He was supposed to kill him.

yes a muslim can change his/her religion definitely but.....BUT...there r noooo ways nooooo acceptions for them to go back bcaz once u r gone u r never to come back. the holy book, Quran, does include the books of judaism, christianity >old and new testament im sure...and its believed to be the first and last book ever sent to the humans.

Anyone CAN change religions, but the consequences are greater in some than others...

Funny you should ask. According to Islam no. (But it happens, believe me) There was an interesting story yesterday on the wire: A sharia court in Malaysia jailed a woman for joining a "tea-pot worshipping" cult. Kamariah Ali, a 57 year old former teacher, was arrested in 2005 when the government of the Muslim majority country demolished the two storey high sacred tea pot and other infrastructure of the "heretical" Sky Kingdom cult. For the eccentric sect, which emphasised ecumenical dialogue between religions, the tea pot symbolized the purity of water and "love pouring from heaven". But in Malaysia, despite constitutional guarantees of freedom of worship, born Muslims such as Mrs Ali are forbidden from converting to other religions. Passing sentence, the Sharia judge Mohammed Abdullah said: "The court is not convinced that the accused has repented and is willing to abandon any teachings contrary to Islam. I pray God will open the doors of your heart, Kamariah." Mrs Ali has already been jailed once for apostasy, for 20 months in 1992. advertisement "This has to stop. They can’t be sending her again and again to prison for this," her lawyer, Sa'adiah Din, told reporters. "She informed the court that she is not a Muslim. She doesn't come under Sharia court anymore." The case underlines the dissatisfaction of non-Muslim Malaysians, who make up just under half the population, ahead of the country’s most contentious election in a generation this Saturday. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/04/wteapot104.xml
