Yes ... in embracing a religion there is no
compulsion, and in this world there will be many religions, we can not reject
it because it is a sunnatullah (a will of Allah).
Islamic teachings are not just for a nation or
middle eastern person, but for rahmatan lil 'alamin for whoever wants to follow
it. For example, I am a Muslim not from the Middle East, which I follow not
because of the performance of the clothing or the material model, but what I
follow is Allah's command to cover the aurat (nakedness) and that has been
spoken by His Prophet.
There are many ways and models to cover aurat in
accordance with personal desires but not against Islamic sharia.

So is it OK for me not to follow Islam?
|
yes .... because there is no compulsion to be a Muslim as in His word. The duty of Muslims is only to convey the truth of Allah's teaching and the result is only Allah who has "Hidayah" (guidance)
|
How about all those exMuslims who get killed for leaving Islam?
Why do they not get freedom of choice?
|
From where you can say
like that ?, Qur'an, Hadith saheeh or other sources? Thanks.

Well these countries punish leaving Islam with death;

Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen are
the relevant countries. |
And groups such as these take the job into their own hands;

AUSTRALIAN MUSLIM GROUP: DEATH TO THOSE WHO LEAVE ISLAM |

Allah does not order to
kill anyone unless he committed murder, but Allah order to keep human, and that
it's the same with he has kept all human beings (Qur'an 4:32).
On the basis of that
verse, then if we want to seek a truth in religion, please don't look at the
behavior of the person, but the understanding of God Words.
Let alone murder,
berating the worship of one who isn't worshiping Allah is forbidden (6: 108)

Given there are parts of Islamic teaching which expressly tell you to kill the apostate and convert with the sword and the torch and that this happens when Islam is politically strong, just as any other religion does, you will understand that I see it as a nasty thing that if given a chance will kill me.
|
That is the devil to persuade people to kill each other, but for those who truly obey the commands of their Lord they will not do that unless they are attacked, persecuted and the form of such evil.
Islam does not teach to kill one another except two things, as in the word of Allah: 60: 8
"Allah does not forbid to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity."
