If this is what Muslim converts to Christianity experience living in the UK, imagine what converts living deep in the heart of Islam must go through. "Persecution threat to British Muslims who change their faith," from Inspire Magazine, July 9:
A growing number of Christians in Britain from a Muslim background are facing harassment and persecution, warns Release International. They include ‘Yasmin’, whose ex-husband planned to kill her. She’s been attacked in the street, driven from her home and was taken under police protection. Yasmin became a Christian after receiving a vision of Jesus during the difficult birth of her son. She tried to keep her faith a secret from her family, but eventually told her mother. “When my mother found out I had become a Christian she went to the local mosque and told them that I had gone crazy,” Yasmin told Release International, which serves the persecuted Church in 30 nations. “She went to get some holy water to heal me of my madness. A campaign was set up against me; people would come and bang on the door every ten minutes during the night.”
Apostates, after all, are mercifully granted sometimes up to three days to return to the fold of Islam before being killed. And they say Islam is merciless!
The police set up a panic alarm, but finally told Yasmin they could no longer protect her and moved her into a women’s refuge.
Yasmin relocated to another part of the country, but her ex-husband tracked her down and demanded custody of their children as he objected to them being brought up by a Christian.
She says: “He continually intimidated and harassed me and hired someone to beat me in the street. Wherever we went there would always be a car following us and watching us.”
Her son yielded to pressure and went to live with his dad. “He only stayed one night,” says Yasmin, “as his dad told him that he had arranged for someone to kill me and was pressing my son for details of the layout of our home - where the alarm was and where I slept.”Yasmin went into hiding with her son and took out an injunction against her husband. The harassment stopped, but that was not the end of the trouble.
“Everyone in the local Muslim community knew I was a Christian and didn’t want to know me. People would cross the street rather than greet me and often spat in my face. They tried to pressure me to leave town. But I had already been chased out of one town so I was determined not to let them intimidate me.”
Yasmin is now working to support other Muslim background believers who are experiencing the same pressures and persecution. She tells her story in the latest edition of Release International’s Witness magazine, available from www.releaseinternational.org
She adds: “One of the most difficult things about becoming a Christian from a Muslim background is losing your family. There are such tight family networks in our communities. If someone becomes a Christian then they are considered to bring shame on the whole family and the only response is to cut them out of the family.”
Some Muslim background believers in the UK lose their homes, possessions and even custody of their children – a picture replicated in many nations around the world, where former Muslims may even lose their lives for changing their faith.
Release International’s patron, Bishop Michael Nazir Ali has also been under police protection after receiving death-threats for expressing his concerns about some aspects of Islam in Britain. He endured similar threats in his homeland Pakistan, but never expected the same thing to happen in the UK.
Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali says: “The story of the Church is a story of persecution. The blood of the martyrs has been, and is, and will be the seed of the Church.”
Note: "martyrs" in a Christian sense. You know, those men and women who, rather than recant their faith, gladly suffered torture and execution, as opposed to the Muslim sense: being killed while trying to kill others in the name of your faith.
There is an easy solution. Make a threat, get deported. Why should that poor woman go into hiding. Get rid of the offensive ones.
The entire terroristic family and their friends who back them.
Hey it is the religion of peace. They are just practicing their religion I mean we have to respect that. We are Multicultural society. The F&&*king horrendous mistakes made by the screwed up immigration policy. Ordinary people now have to suffer the stupidity of having Islamic immigration.
Given enough time, all religious strife in Europe will end, with a grand Islamic ummah and plenty of corpses.
Next politician who gives away citizenship to already crowded England, especially to adherents of Islam, should be taken up on charges of crimes against humanity. Enough is enough.

When my mother found out I had become a Christian she went to the local mosque and told them that I had gone crazy,
hmm sounds to more like she found the truth and regained her sanity
"The police set up a panic alarm, but finally told Yasmin they could no longer protect her and moved her into a women’s refuge".
The thing that incenses me is that we all know that if the people who "would come and bang on the door every ten minutes during the night" or were specifically identified, such as the ex-husband who "continually intimidated and harassed" her, were known to be white, then they would be apprehended and punished to the full extent of the law.
see what they say about apostasy ...

Let's look at this case through the Lord Chief Justice's highly nuanced legal lens: "any sanctions for a failure to comply with [Sharia-based] mediation would be drawn from the laws of England and Wales.”
Surely the husband would have automatic legal custody rights to the son if husband and wife had agreed to Sharia mediation ahead of time? Sharia law would unequivocally give custody to the non-apostate parent and English law doesn't forbid fathers to have custody, right?
There are Muslim lawyers in Canada and the United States who are anxious to find a punishment for apostacy that will be sanctioned by Western courts, even going so far as to compare leaving Islam as a sort of corporate espionage. (See Dhimmiwatch, Feb. 2, 2005 "When Muslims Convert" and its discussion of the pioneering efforts of one Ali Khan, a law professor at Washburn University in Kansas.)
Who would put this question/case before the Lord Chief Justice?
And we let these people come and take advantage of everything our country has to offer. Not only that but our government bends over backwards to accommodate them even when we can see with our own eyes what a threat they pose.
My country is coming apart at the seams. Sadly the smug islamists think that means the country will soon be theirs. What it actually means is that the country is swinging to the far right. No one want to see that, unless it is absolutely necessary.
Time to deport the aggressors and protect their targets. The only Muslim immigrants that the West should allow are Muslim apostates.
If this is what Muslim converts to Christianity experience living in the UK, imagine what converts living deep in the heart of Islam must go through.

Since you have been completely betrayed by your political class, just as we have been completely betrayed by our political class here in the US, it seems you have no alternative. The willful blindness of the political class to the immigration disaster they have shoved down our throats is the greatest betrayal in recorded history, and with each passing day the Mahometan THUGS become more numerous and stronger. Thus each day that passes only means that the final cataclysm, when it comes, will be all the more terrible.
In February, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, indicated approvingly that he thought some form of sharia in Britain was 'inevitable'. Now Britain's Lord Chief Justice Lord Nicholas Phillips is getting all warm and fuzzy over sharia as well.

Both these liberal dip-twits live in England and have access to the daily news; if they chose to open their eyes to reality they could see the danger rampant Islamism poses to Britain. Yet neither one seems to have a CLUE about the threat Islamic agitation poses to civil order and civilized society (and neither seems to want a clue, either...).
