Can't convert to Christianity in Iran
"Government officials in Iran are trying to convince a jailed pastor to return to Islam as he waits for the nation’s supreme leader to decide whether he should be executed for converting to Christianity, sources close to the case told FoxNews.com."
Can a Muslim anywhere safely convert to another religion? The Quran does say apostates have to be killed. How can a former Muslim be assured that a brother-in-law, nephew, or just some clown from the local mosque, won't feel obliged to carry out Allah's bidding?
You've got to wonder how many of the billion or so Muslims are just playing along out of fear. Isn't "secular Muslim" just a way to say you don't believe, but don't want to lose your head either?
