all of the Muslims in the world need to be eradicated.
Well, I have read nothing even remotely similar to that in this thread.
But this particular interpretation of Muslim faith regarding apostasy needs to be completely eradicated from the world. And it's not only Afghanistan. Several Muslim countries have laws punishing apostasy with death. Usually they find a way around like for instance declaring the apostates insane, or sentencing the apostate to death but exiling him after the sentence.
Even if the death penalty for apostasy is extremely rare (more often a religiously motivated crowd lynches an apostate, or a relative just kills him), it has in principle no place in a modern world.
