Are there any consequences if a Muslim decides not to believe in Koran ?

Do you have the freedom not to believe in the Koran and can you decide to believe some other relgion if you so choose?

Update:

What would happen to a Middle eastern if they decided not to be Muslim anymore? Do they face punishment..death?

    I was raised Muslim and my family and friends are still Muslim, while I no longer am.

    No one killed me.

    Muslims do not kill people for not being Muslim. Governments who like to control people and extremists with radical political agendas target people who act or believe in ways contrary to their warped agendas and fundamentalist ideals.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with what country you are in! A muslim is a muslim and a sin is a sin! Even if you are safe in this life, not believing in the Qur'an and Allah will give you a one way ticket to HELL!! There's no question about it! No matter how many good deeds you do. Islam was the first religion to ever be taught on Earth and it is the word of God! There is only one God! Not Jesus not idols not anyone else There is no other religion in comparison. All Muslim and Qur'an believers will go to heaven. Anyone who doesnt believe in the Qur'an and practice its message will go to Hell when they die.

    In Islam, Allah explains that you are free to do whatever you choose. But that's just it, there's a CHOICE. In life, there are many choices. The good and the bad. Allah gives you free will to make your own choices, but you have to pick between your choices wisely.

    If you don't believe in the Quran, then you aren't Muslim in the first place, because the Quran is the Word of God to the Muslims.

    So, yes, you can choose or decide to do anything, but Allah tells us to remember that we all have to answer to Him in the end.

    If someone decides not to be Muslim, then s/he has every right. There is no compulsion in religion. Some misguided individuals say that "death" is the punishment. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    love for all, hatred for none

    Well if a person doesn't believe in the Koran then they automatically not muslim, so yeah embracing another faith is possible. You can choose another religion from your side, nobody is going to stop you. And it isnt illegal

    how can you be muslim and not believe in their book? well anyway you have freedom to choose what religion to be. i use to be stationed in the middle east in a muslim country for a couple years and from what i saw they didnt look down upon christians since our religion is very similar but has many differences as well. but it is your choice. it depends on what country you are in cause you could be beheaded but i was in Bahrain and they didn't do that

    If said Muslim lives in the United States of America, then he is free to believe (or not believe) anything he wants.

    You must believe in Quran , you know you automatically believe in it , because it`s the truth....

    the other thing .. Islam is the religion of freedom.. you can stay as a Muslim and you can change, it`s your decision.

    and nobody will force you to be a Muslim.. and nobody will force you to change... also no body will KILL YOU!!!!! not in America .. and not in middle east..

    to be a Muslim you MUST believe in the Quran, the Bible and the Torah.

    you Must believe that Judaism and Christianity were true religions.

    you Must believe that Jesus and Moses were messengers of God and respect them as you respect prophet Muhammad.
