Conversion from islam is apostasy, equal to treason and is punishable by death.

There is more, but you get the picture. Suffice it to say that its not exactly the most equitable foundation for a society to be built upon. Its not a matter of someone's head up their arse - its a matter of differences in how people view other humans, how people should deal with each other, and how much one religion should be allowed to permeate society to the forcible exclusion of all the rest.

Even if all that were true, it's up to the people to decide how they want to live including which system.
