However, yes, if one were living under a country that is actually applying Islamic law and he (Muslim) openly commits disbelief and persists on it i.e. doesn’t repent, then his penalty is death.

Finally.
Glad we got that out of the way.
Now…is a country that actually applies Islamic law ideal? If not, why not? Why would Muslims not ultimately desire a country that applies Islamic law?

Yes, it’s ideal… Many muslims don’t want the country to apply islamic law simply because of their own worldly benefit and desires. Most muslims today are just so weak in faith - so, for example, the guy down the street selling cigarettes in his store would be forbidden from selling them which means he loses money.[/quote]
So when we finally connect all of your dots, based on your personal outlook and we assume the outlook of millions of other Muslims, we come to the inescapable conclusion that IDEALLY unbelievers should pay with their lives in Muslim countries. They literally should lose their heads should they openly place their faith in Jesus Christ for example.
We gotcha now. By that I mean we understand completely. Thanks.[/quote]
Muslims too openly place their faith in Jesus son of Mary pbuh. We just don’t openly worship him or any other of the great prophets.
Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! Scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” Mathew 4:10
And indeed We sent to every nation a Noble Messenger (proclaiming) that “Worship only Allah and beware of the devil”; therefore Allah guided some of them, and error proved true upon some of them; therefore travel in the land and see what sort of fate befell the deniers. Quran 16:36
[Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him alone. That is a straight path.” Quran 19:36
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, Of all the commandments, which is the most important?
29 The most important one, answered Jesus, “is this: Hear, O Israel: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.” Mark 12:28-29
Jesus answered him, "It is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’
Luke 4:8
And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Quran 2:163
Say (O Muhammed): He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. Quran 112:1-4
