what if someone wanted to be a just another simple & plain
nature lover , humanist , or earth loving pantheist?

Just make sure you're not a Muslim when you do that.
While Egypt does not ban conversion, Islamic Sharia law says apostates should be executed, their marriages annulled, and their children and property confiscated. Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Sudan all require the death penalty for apostasy.

it seems omnipotent God must have followers first imposing their will before his may be done . Is this really omnipotence?
Now I've wondered about this. Why is it that God seems to always need us to do his dirty work?

If he objects to conversion from Islam, why does he not strike the apostate dead himself instead of laying the job on some poor slob with a sword?

Would it not be much more effective if he did it? Being omniscient, he could execute 100% of apostates instead of depending on our hit-or-miss detection methods.
