What's so uninformed about it [0], are you implying those beliefs should still be held?
The main reason there are so many islam followers is that they have more kids on average.

Just like any other legal system, Islamic Legal system is also incredibly complex and nuanced. I suggest reading this article on the issue of apostasy in Islam [0].
In a legal matter, what general Muslims think about it (like a pew poll) does not matter because most of them, just like any other population are not experts in judiciary.
Regarding your points about Muslims having more kids, there is nothing preventing these kids from turning away from the religion, just like the kids of old devout Christians today no longer identify as at least practicing Christians.

Can you shed some light?
Wow, such an uninformed generalized comment. Not something you would expect to see at hacker news.
Anyway, just because the West had problems with Christianity does not mean the East have the same problems with Islam. That is one of the reasons why Islam has more practicing followers than any other religion on earth.
