As Salamu Alaikoum,
Praise be to Allah.
First of all there is a big difference ins forcing a person to become a Muslim and a person who is Muslim who decides to apostate.
There is no compulsion in religion means that we do not go around forcing people to embrace Islam if they choose to not become so. However, for a Muslim to apostate from Islam this is a serious sin and the penalty for it IS DEATH:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2794). What is meant by religion here is Islam (i.e., whoever changes from Islam to another religion).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that there is no god except Allaah and that I am His Messenger, except in one of three cases: a soul for a soul (i.e., in the case of murder); a married man who commits adultery; and one who leaves his religion and splits form the jamaa’ah (main group of Muslims).” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6878; Muslim, 1676)
Thus it will be clear to you that execution of the apostate is something that is commanded by Allaah, when he commanded us to obey the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority”
[al-Nisa’ 4:59]
And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has commanded us to execute the apostate as in the hadeeth quoted above: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.”
A true believing Muslim does not Question what Allah or his Prophet has ruled. Whether you agree with what Allah says is neither here nor there.. you simply ACCEPT AND OBEY.
Do not compare Islam with Christainity for the Christains are the biggest hipocrits on earth. It is unlawful for them to lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, commit fornication, drink alcohol and yet they engage in all of these things. They also lie on and slander the Prophets and accuse them of things such as Incest and drunkery.
Fear Allah and obey him and dont question him.
In regards to circumcision of females.. it is NOT obligatory for females to be circumcised in Islam.
Narrated by Umm ‘Atiyah, may Allah be pleased with her, a woman used to perform circumcisions in Madinah. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) told her: "Do not abuse (i.e. do not go to extremes in circumcising); that is better for the woman and more liked by her husband." (Reported by Abu Dawud in al-Sunan)
However, circumcision IS Obligatory on Males.
Circumcision is among the rites of Islaam and is part of the fitrah, or the innate disposition and natural character and instinct of the human creation, and is from the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Allaah has said (interpretation of the meaning): "Then we revealed to you (the command) to follow the pure and uncorrupted religion of Ibrahim."
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"The Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was circumcisized when he was eighty years old." (Al-Bukhari, Vol 6/p. 388)
AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
