Yet Islamic apologists in the West continue to assure us that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy. Tell me another. "Christian convert killed in J&K," by Ishfaq-ul-Hassan in DNA India, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
SRINAGAR: Unidentified militants on Tuesday killed a junior engineer of J&K Power Development Department, (PDD) Bashir Ahmad Tantray, who had converted to Christianity ignoring threats from Islamic radical groups.Tantray was shot dead in his village Mamoosa in Pattan tehsil of Baramulla district. “Two militants enquired about the public transport system. After that they fired at my cousin,” said Ghulam Rasool Tantray, cousin of the slain.
Bashir Tantray had migrated from his village, years back after he received threats from militant groups. He was staying in Sonawar but he returned to his village on Monday to visit his ailing father.
Deputy Inspector General of Police, north Kashmir range, Mohammad Subhan Lone said they had received reports that Bashir had converted to Christianity in 1995 or 1996. “As far as the motive is concerned, it is being investigated,” he said. Lone said Bashir was buried in his village with Islamic rites. “People offered Nimaz Jinaza. There was no problem,” he said.
This is the first time that a Christian convert has been killed in Kashmir, though there have been attacks on Christian missionary schools in the past. Militants had attacked a Christian missionary school with grenades at Pulwama a few years ago.

I see a story like this and I think there are few things more dangerous in this world than leaving that cult of death, especially in a place heavily populated by it. One needs a lot of guts to do so.

Bashir is a true martyr not some islamic nut job who blows himself up killing other people . Yelling Allah Akbar is not a guarantee of getting you into paradise.

Islam is scared of women and they must always be viciously controlled in Pure Islam:
The Qur'an states:
"Righteous women are therefore obedient, ... And those you fear may be rebellious (nushuz) admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them."
Here is an excellent article on women in Islam (aka the toys of men of course!)

But of course, as we all know
"There is no compulsion in religion".

Lone said Bashir was buried in his village with Islamic rites. “People offered Nimaz Jinaza. There was no problem,” he said.
..............
"There was no problem"--yeah, they didn't even let the poor man be buried as a Christian.
The moronic Priest and Nun letting themselves be used by Palestinian militants as human shields (from another post) would never consider trying to protect this man from harm. Too busy protecting the sort of people who would kill him.

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.
Soon we will see the falsehood of islam exposed and truth will shine in Kashmir.
