Italy: Islam-leavers worried about retaliation

If you join the mafia, the only way you can leave is in a pine box after receiving a bullet to the back of your head, or some other ghastly ending. If you try to leave Islam, it's pretty much the same deal, especially in countries that are ruled by Sharia law.

But now, in Italy, there are about three thousand apostates along with their families who are worried about retaliation for leaving the religion of peace. An apostate is a former Muslim who leaves Islam for any reason, be it to convert or to simply not practice Islam.

In an interview by Breitbart.com with a 55-year-old Egyptian man who remains anonymous due to his fear of Islamic retaliation, said he converted to Christianity in Italy after his mother died. He was baptized in 2013.

His view of Christians was that they had "a humanity more complete than mine," and he wanted to explore what it is they found in their religion. However, he has to practice his faith in secret. "I cannot openly practice my Christian faith. I am afraid that some fanatical Muslim may do harm not only to me, but especially to relatives who remained in Egypt."

"How is it that Italians who convert to Islam can go on TV and talk about it, and instead, I have to hide to avoid retaliation?" he asked.

The answer is simple: Sharia law explicitly states that those who leave Islam must be killed. Period. In addition, those who convert to Islam have nothing to fear from those of the religion they left. It's only Islam that kills you if you leave the organization--even if you change your mind after you tried it as a convert.

The crime of apostasy in Sharia countries can be "civil death" meaning job loss, denial of education, loss of your rights, breakdown of the family due to outside pressure, or it can even be prison or a death sentence. 

Now Sharia has gone on the move, heading to a neighborhood near you. Apostates in Italy are worried, but imagine what it's like in Norway and even London. Do you dare go public with your new found religion?

Good luck with that.

Islam, if it were a person and not a religion, would be like an intolerant, insecure, abusive husband, who beats his wife for being disobedient, but kills her if she finds another man.
