Based on all I have read on this topic, I believe that an apostate (the person who was a muslim and understood the truth of Islam; and then converts to some other faith) is to be given the capital punishment. However, I do also believe that any such punishment can only be meted out by an Islamic government that rules in accordance with Sharia and after it weighs all the evidence. Its not a mass stoning ritual and it is not something that should be carried out lightly or mocked at.

At this time, I do not believe we have any government that satisfies the conditions of an Islamic government based on sharia. So this is more a theoretical discussion, then anything practical at this time, in my personal opinion.

any interpretation that goes against the teachings of Qura'an is always full of flaws. How does one find out if the person in question has understood the truth of islam? What about children whos parents dont get along and are more worried about fighting each other than teaching their children about islam. Once these kids grow up, can they leave islam for another faith because they dont understand islam?

I agree with ur other point that any Islamic punishment should be carried out by a government that rules according to sharia.
