I refer to Canterbury Trust's assertions in letter titled No turning back in Islam .

The issue, from my point of view, is actually not that simple or simplistic. Canterbury Trust's assertions may only be acceptable if a person becomes a Muslim out of his or her own free and independent will after he or she has reached the age of 18.

What about babies and children who have no such free and independent will? When they reach the age of 18, which is the legal age in modern societies to mark a person's capacity for exercising free and independent will, should they not be given the right to decide their own religion, independent and free from their parents?

What about divorcees (and their children) whose former spouses and parents are Muslims but who have now decided not to be Muslims anymore after their divorces?
