Young Muslims begin dangerous fight for the right to abandon faith - Times Online
These folks have to be commended for their bravery. With most religious nutjobs, renouncing one's faith is up there in terms of blasphemy that is punishable by death.
I don't particularly care what religion someone is, however, I do care when a large minority starts talking about massacring innocent people, something we're seeing with the Muslim faith in the past several years.
A group of young Muslim apostates launches a campaign today, the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, to make it easier to renounce Islam.
The provocative move reflects a growing rift between traditionalists and a younger generation raised on a diet of Dutch tolerance.
The Committee for Ex-Muslims promises to campaign for freedom of religion but has already upset the Islamic and political Establishments for stirring tensions among the million-strong Muslim community in the Netherlands.
Ehsan Jami, the committee’s founder, who rejected Islam after the attack on the twin towers in 2001, has become the most talked-about public figure in the Netherlands. He has been forced into hiding after a series of death threats and a recent attack.
See what I mean? It's not enough for people to have a "live and let live" attitude towards their fellow human being. It's "you must be like us or we will kill you" that I have a problem with.
