Netherlands: Attitudes towards leaving Islam

Three quarters of Muslims regard turning away from Islam as a personal choice, but there are few that applaud that choice.

A survey commissioned by television programme Nova indicates that 38 percent of the Muslims questioned disapprove of apostasy. 24 percent say they cut off all contact with a fellow Muslim who has turned their back on Islam.

6 percent is of the opinion that it is acceptable to use violence against an apostate.

The survey presented on Tuesday also indicates that 11 percent of Muslims feel that Ehsan Jami's committee for former Muslims is necessary. A large majority – 66 percent – does not think his committee serves a good purpose.

"6 percent is of the opinion that it is acceptable to use violence against an apostate."

More than 1 in twenty. More than 1 in a family gathering. More than one in a class.

That's too many. 6 percent too many.
