Most Muslim countries deny religious freedom to its citizens. Here's a list of countries
that forbid ceasing to be a Muslim:
Afghanistan, Bahrain, Comoros, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, UAE, Yemen.
In addition, the situation in Morocco is unclear; there is no law punishing this, but there is a fatwa threatening to kill.

US drone attacks often kill civilians, but the state tries to duck the issue. When, by luck, one of the victims turned out to be an American prisoner of the Taliban, the US had to admit it, which shone a spot of light on this.
Drones plus secret policies for using them add up to secret wars.
