I can't understand why this must be so. In fact, I think it's totally disgusting and makes me wonder what kind of fucked up people they must be.
"Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die," said cleric Abdul Raoulf, who is considered a moderate and was jailed three times for opposing the Taliban before the hard-line regime was ousted in 2001.

"Cut off his head!" he exclaimed, sitting in a courtyard outside Herati Mosque. "We will call on the people to pull him into pieces so there's nothing left."(source: CNN, in TFA)

A pristine example of a bigot. And he is not alone.
"But Said Mirhossain Nasri, the top cleric at Hossainia Mosque, one of the largest Shiite places of worship in Kabul, said Rahman must not be allowed to leave the country.
"If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can, too," he said. "We must set an example. ... He must be hanged."" (source: CNN, in TFA)
Bear in mind that these people are supposed "leaders" and hold respectable (*ahem*) positions in their religious communities. I'll leave it up to you to form an opinion about their followers based on such leaders.
"We are a small country and we welcome the help the outside world is giving us. But please don't interfere in this issue," Nasri said. "We are Muslims and these are our beliefs. This is much more important to us than all the aid the world has given us." (source: CNN, in TFA)
But withdraw their aid, they'll be crying foul and making statements that the "western world" is bent on repressing their progress or some other infantile rant.
It seems that to them, Islam is the only "true" faith, in the sense that you can convert to Islam and they will welcome you with open arms, but once you decide to renounce your faith in Islam, you're considered a sinner and they take it upon themselves to kill you to uphold their God's honor. Err, newsflash idiots, if your God is so powerful, I'm sure he wouldn't need your floundering attempts of gallantry.
Additionally, they'll always whine and cry foul (and blow up a thing or two) when they perceive that someone is disrespecting their religion. However, when the tables are turned, they'll argue that the world is intolerant (*ahem* look who's talking - ask the Dutch), and disrespecting their religion (again? give it a rest will ya) and then whine and cry foul (and blow up another thing or two). Whine whine whine. Cry cry cry. Blow blow blow. *Yawn* this is getting really repetitive.
Personally, I believe whatever goes on between god and me, it's up to me to deal with it. I don't need anyone telling me the proper forms of conduct, when nobody is even sure that "God" exists anyway.
Note: I have absolutely NOTHING against Islam as a religion. I believe it was started by a very wise person. I just have a few unkind words to say about the people who use Islam as a tool (and religion is a very powerful tool) to further their own agendas.
