Ancient copies of the Quran are numerous, but the issue lies in the variations among them.

Islamic apostasy law differs from Deuteronomy 13, which actually condemns child sacrifice, not apostasy.

Deuteronomy 13 does not command killing apostates but those who entice to serve other gods by killing children in sacrifice, while Islam prescribes execution for apostates. Islamic authoritative sources permit killing apostates, contrasting Deuteronomy's context.
