Is that not what we are told, time and again, by Muslims, world leaders, pundits and the assortment of media darlings? We are told the Qur'an says there is no compulsion in religion, and that everyone can worship as they please. There is parity within Islam and all are welcome.
I guess that makes the new ground zero imam, Abdallah Adhami one of those Islamophobes we keep hearing about.

Ground Zero imam: 'Apostates against Islam must be jailed'
"If someone leaves the din, leaves the path privately, they cannot be touched. If someone preaches about apostasy, or preaches their views, they're jailed," stated Imam Abdallah Adhami in a November lecture obtained and reviewed by WND.
Adhami was discussing the Quranic view of apostasy, or Muslims who decide to leave the Islamic religion.
Here is what Robert Spencer says about leaving Islam;
Muhammad, the prophet of Islam and supreme example of conduct for the Muslim (cf. Qur'an 33:21), said: "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, then kill him." (Bukhari 9.84.57)
The Tafsir al-Qurtubi, a classic and thoroughly mainstream exegesis of the Qur'an, says this about Qur'an 2:217: "Scholars disagree about whether or not apostates are asked to repent. One group say that they are asked to repent and, if they do not, they are killed. Some say they are given an hour and others a month. Others say that they are asked to repent three times, and that is the view of Malik. Al-Hasan said they are asked a hundred times. It is also said that they are killed without being asked to repent."
All the schools of Islamic jurisprudence teach that a sane adult male who leaves Islam must be killed. They have some disagreements about what must he done with other types of people who leave Islam, but they have no disagreement on that. So if Adhami is saying that apostates must be jailed rather than killed, he must be a moderate.(end)
According to Shariah, or Islamic law, the consensus view in Sunni Islam is that a male apostate must be put to death unless he suffers from a mental disorder or converted against his will.
There are, however, differing views on the subject, with some contemporary Islamic scholars differentiating between public and private apostasy and arguing for actions ranging from death to nothing.
Either way, these words come from the imam who is for "interfaith dialogue" and "bridge-building" as laid down by the former leader, imam Rauf.

Ground Zero imam: 'Apostates against Islam must be jailed'
'You do not have the right to spread this conviction, lest you pollute others'
Those who leave Islam and preach against the Muslim religion must be jailed, declared the imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City."If someone leaves the din, leaves the path privately, they cannot be touched. If someone preaches about apostasy, or preaches their views, they're jailed," stated Imam Abdallah Adhami in a November lecture obtained and reviewed by WND.
