Former Muslims Persecuted for Leaving Islam

Mohammad & His Children

In the nation of Uganda, a 62-year-old Imam named Mohammad made the decision to leave Islam and follow Christianity.  For many years Mohammad preached about waging war on "unbelievers," but in truth, he never understood why he taught this.  In his heart, he knew that killing people was wrong, but under Jihadist doctrine, you are not to question, only obey.  At the age of 60 Mohammad was selected to engage in Dawa: the practice that "defends & advances Islam, sometimes by force."  Over the next two years, Mohammad helped teach his followers how to bomb churches and kill unbelievers while also working to show that the Bible was false.  However, Mohammad began questioning what he was doing and eventually, made the decision to not only turn against it, but to leave Islam altogether and follow Christianity.  



In Islam, the punishment for Apostasy is death (Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57).  Despite this, Mohammad went public with his conversion and urged other Muslims to also reject Jihad and turn away from Islam.  This resulted in Mohammad nearly being beaten to death by a Jihadist mob.  Though he survived the attack, Mohammad's right him was permanently damaged.  Despite this, Mohammad soldiers on, urging Muslims to reject Jihad and turn away from the Islamic faith that drives it.  

Muhammad's case is not an isolated one.  In fact, it's all too common across the Islamic world.  In Eastern Turkey, Nurettin was born to a Kurdish-Muslim family.  Though a member of the Islamic faith, Nurettin was not a devout believer and instead focused on building businesses for himself.  However, Nurettin gradually became discouraged with materialism and eventually began studying the Bible for answers.  After meeting a Kurdish Christian, Nurettin learned that simply because he was Kurdish, he wasn't obligated to remain in Islam, he could make his own choice and still keep his Kurdish identity.  In April of 2010, Nurettin accepted Christianity and 20 days later he was arrested by the Turkish police and sentenced to two years in prison for his "political activities."  After being serving his sentence Nurettin lost all of his income but instead of rebuilding his businesses, he chose to start sharing the Gospel with others. 

Nurettin Sharing His Faith

Eighteen months later, Nurettin was arrested again and sentence to another 2.5 years in prison.  After serving this sentence again, Nurettin became a pastor and presently ministers to a small, but growing number of Kurdish Christians.  Though the "Death for Apostasy" decree may not be the "Law of the Books" in many Islamic nations, for many Muslims, it's the "Law of the Land," and it is enforced all too often worldwide.

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

Former PLO Terrorist Tass Saada was born  in a tent in a refugee camp in Gaza City in 1951.   Prior to the outbreak of the 1948 War, his father co-owned an Orange Grove in Jaffa with a Jewish friend and business partner.  When the 1948 War broke out, his father's friend and business partner begged him not to leave, pleading with him to stay and wait until the fighting ended to make his decision.   Unfortunately, Tass's father followed the orders of the Arab governments of Jordan, Syria, & Egypt and “stepped aside” so the Arab League could drive the Zionists into the sea.   These leaders told the "Palestinian Arabs via radio, leaflets, and numerous other outlets to leave their homes and make room for the Arab combat legions to get through, assuring them that they would return to their homes after their victory.   As a result, over 700,000 Arabs became displaced, and most of their descendants have remained displaced due to the cruel policies of Arab national leade

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the
