By freedom of religion, I mean that other religions are allowed free practice and a Muslim is allowed to convert to another religion without being killed...
Just give me one.

i am not interested in the question, as it assumes many false premises that i do not hold to be true. Legally, we supposedly are in a religiously free society ourselves; when in actuality even the state religion is oppressed. So, judging by the fruit, i can say that i have lived in many Muslim countries, and they all knew i was a Christian, and i never suffered the oppression so endemic here.
Of course i don't proselytize, either; Christ never did this. My advice, if i were put in such a position, for anyone who is Muslim wishing to convert to something else in the belief that that might get them closer to God, and their laws preventing them from doing that--which is, like, nowhere; SA, maybe? officially?--then leave. Beautiful are the feet. (And if that is the law in SA, then why are they getting all of your money? Hypocrite!)
And since laws are, by their very nature, hypocritical, and we are really discussing how one might be in an area where one's peers would not stand for them to be of a different faith than them, regardless of the laws, my advice would be the same. Leave.
I can honestly say that this is possible; what should be understood is that it is much more likely in Mississippi than in Riyadh, in my experience. Are there some examples in the Mideast, some little burgs--that likely suffered more than their share of American Freedumb the last 20 years--that are rabidly anti-Christian? Probably.
So it becomes a question of which questions you are willing to ask, and hear the answers to. Do you want to ask questions that condemn others--people you do not even know, and have never experienced, and most likely never will--or questions that reveal our own hypocrisies?
