Safety of the children takes precedence.  This is not a question of religious freedom, but a question of child safety.\n\nNOBODY goes to an elementary school, where parents trust that "strangers" will be kept at bay, without an appointment.  All else shall be escorted.\n\nThis guy, though his intentions may be good, should learn and back down.  Want to preach to the teachers?  Make an appointment. Want to preach to the kids?  Become a guest speaker, if the school will allow it.  Else that, stay away.

Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them nor will He guide them to the right way. (4:138) \nThis verse proclaims that persons who renounce Islam have the opportunity to re-enter Islam if they so choose. This verse disproves the assertion that according to the Holy Quran an apostate should be put to death. Were death the automatic punishment for an apostate then there arises no question of having the opportunity to join Islam again. This verse mentions apostates who again accept Islam. \nThere is no mention in the Holy Quran or anywhere else of any punishment for an apostate which may be meted out to him by any other person. The consequences of his apostasy in this world and in the next life lie solely in the hands of God. Man is free to accept or reject whatever beliefs he chooses. God says in the Holy Quran: \n\nThere is no compulsion in religion. (2:257) \nIt is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will believe and let him who will disbelieve. (18:30) \nIslam recognizes the right of freedom of conscience and freedom of belief and that as far as one's religious belief is concerned one is answerable to God alone. No man has the right to punish another for his choice of belief. There is absolutely no compulsion whatsoever in Islam and no punishment of any kind permitted in the Holy Quran for apostasy. \nHuman rights are laid own in the Holy Quran which guarantee man the right of perfect freedom of faith and conscience. In such matters God is the Judge - not man. Our constant prayer is Guide us on the Right Path. (1:6) - Amen.

Yes of course it is, religion is everyone personal rights and NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR RELIGION. (but the Muslims won't think so, do you watch the news lately?, they almost execute someone because he convert). What's important is : \n1. Don't just leave Islam and convert to Christianity cause Arabs is bad and Christian organizations is good. They just the people, not the religion itself. An Atheist or even a Satanic believers can do good deeds to you while your fellow Muslims can trash you. Try to understand that concept.\n2. You have to learn Christianity first, different religion also entitled you different rules and obligations. Are you ready to do that and live the way of Jesus?

Human rights are not observed in Iran. The only way to chsnge is for the communities to demand that change as a group. They did it once when they overthrew the Shah, who was a GOOD man, even though they turned out to regret it. They can do it again and this time they need to realize Islamic ways are false and missleading.

If you regard Jesus as a prophet, Jesus said He who has not sinned cast the first stone. What a horrible religion this Islam is. So uncivilized. What gives you the right to judge when we all sinned. Accusation and slander is a sin, should we stone you?

Unfortunately the humans are victims of humans.\nOne human has acquired the responsibility to allow or not the rights to another.\nDefinition varies from place to place, citizen to citizen.\nThese are important to those who want their rights but does not matter for those who haves to respect these rights.

YOu have to look at what Islam teaches you.\nFor jut a moment, disregard what others tell you about the violence people are accusing islam of.\n\nIslam teaches to respect life. IT is forbidden to harm anything, human, plant, insect, animals for no reason\n\nIT is forbidden to lie, backbite.\nIts a duty of every muslim, to help the needy, the poor, orphans, visit the sick.\n-Be good to ones neighbour.\n-Vist others and have food with them, regardless of faith.\n-Respect others faith, muslim or not.\n-Have patience, and enjoin the good, forbid the evil\n-Believe in one and only one God.\n-It is forbidden to commit any sort of crime, robbery.\n-Do not hurt another person, physically or emotionally.\n-Respect ones parents to the utmost- do not talk back to them, do not talk loud infront of them, walk behind them as a sign of respect.\n-Acquire knowlege, \n-Use this life in the most beneficial way possible.\n-Society and house manners should be maintained.\n-Be humble and have humility, do not be arrogant.\n\nSo you see, Islam is a beutiful religion, and it teaches one to be good and humble.\n\nAs for the violence, its a shame that some muslims do not understand the rules of Islam and tend to interprete it themselves the wrong way.\nYou cannot really blame the religion for how its followers are not following it correctly.

It depends how the egress was granted.  You must allow them, but that doesn't mean you must allow people other then them depending on how the egress was worded.  Without that it's sort of hard to determine what "rights" she was granted.

surah 3:64 Say "Oh people of the Book! (jews and christians) Come to an agreement between us and you; that we worship none other than God (Allah), and that we do not place partners with Him, and that we do not take from among ourselves lords and patrons other than God." \n\nIf they turn their back, you say "Be it known to you and bear witness that we are Muslims, who surrender to God's Will."\n                                Surah 3-Al'Imran\n\nThere are so many verses to look up to get a better understanding of the references, here are a few I hope will help (Inshallah)\n\nSurah 2---line53   \n2:109,   2:120,   3:3-4    3:55,  3:64,  \n4:48, 4:116    \n5:44-48,   5:51,  5:110\n8:29,     9:30-34\n16:20-25\n21:48-50     25:1,  32:25,\n57:27,   57:29

It would be really helpful in answering to know where the woman is, as the world is a big and varied place.\n\nThe International convention on human rights enshrines freedom of religion - which means that all countries should allow people freedom to worship or not worship as they please, including changing their religion. Enforcing it is left up to individual governments though.\n\nPersecution for changing your religion is grounds for claiming asylum in Europe or North America, among othrs - the problem is getting the immigration authorities to believe that someone would really be at risk, that the authorities of the home country wouldn't protect the convert, and that they hadn't just made up the story in order to get asylum. In UK at least, the authorities seem programmed to disbelieve any claim not backed by strong evidence.\n\nEven in the West, a woman can be at risk from her family and community for changing religion or otherwise "disrespecting" and "dishonouring" her family. This does not only apply to Muslims. \n\nPeople in this situation need sensitive help, rather than people using them to score points against a religion. \n\nIn Islam, people can be killed for turning away from Islam. In practice, even in Iran, what people do privately is up to them, but converting publicly and evangelising would get you into serious problems; and if a woman's family chose to take their own measures, even if that was against the law, it's unlikely that the authorities would help he at all.\n\nMuslims are often criticised unjustly, but this aspect of it is hard to defend; in fact many Muslims do not agree with killing "apostates", even though the rulings on it seem unambiguous.\n\nBest wishes to the woman concerned, she needs to be careful and given understanding and all support.

Reading the all these "Yes" posted in response to the question as if it was "still" a granted freedom to change or leave Islam is evidence that people often don't understand that religions are not all the same...\n\nLeaving Islam is Apostasy. It is not "considered" IT IS A CRIME as quoted in all aspect of Islamic scriptures and legislatures in or outside of Islamic countries.\n\nIf a member of you family turns his back to Islam it brings shame to reletatives.\nHonor crimes are endorsed in the Koran, which explains the killings or at least the mistreatment of people who leave Islam even today.\n\nThe Koran is very very very clear and explicit, you do not need to be a scholar to figure out that leaving Islam puts you in a position where you become less than a slave. A muslim may not focus on those passages yet a more fondamentalist will use the same scriptural autority to apply this inhuman blackmail.\n\nHere are the quotes from Islamic scriptures:\nAnd do get a Koran yourself, read in your living room on your own. \n\nI am not quoting everything about Apostasy (Leaving islam) but they should make you understand why a peaceful Muslim may feel tremendous termoil when faced to choose between his heart and the situation of someone leaving the religion...\n\nQuotes:\n\n----------------\n\n"Those who blasphemed and back away from the ways of Allah and die as blasphemers, Allah shall not forgive them." Suratan Nisa', Ayah 48\n\n"Kill whoever changes his religion," Hadith\n\n"Kill those who believe in many gods" (Sura al-Tawba 9:5)\n\n\nHere this is not even the Pakistani constitution:\n\n"If a Muslim is found guilty of the crime of apostasy, either through words or through actions, he will be asked to repent during a three day period. If he has not repented within this time limit, he will be sentenced to death as an apostate and his property will be seized by the Revenue office. Every Muslim who refuses to pray will be asked to comply with the obligation to pray within the prescribed time limit. If he persists in his refusal, he will be punished by death." \n           - Article 306 of the Mauritanian Constitution\n\n---------------------------\n\n\nYES you can be killed for leaving Islam...\n\nEven here in America, many who leave the religion must often move to another location in order to protect the wellbeing of their family and the future of their children. Many leave without mentioning it to anyone so that there is no repercussions about it.\n\nIt is so amazing to take our civil right for granted and express such a naive YES to this question. \n\nThink about the reactions to the cartoons, will you trust someone practicing Islam to tell you it is a religion of tolerance or will you trust how they act and walk their talk ...\n\nGo ! read the Koran, wake up and see what this religion is all about.
