Or more precisely, leaving Islam.
Kimberly Winston at Religion News Service wrote a riveting story about a young woman in America leaving, no, running away from her family because her uncle said he would "honor kill" her (again, in America) if she didn't agree to an arranged marriage. The woman (her real identity is secret to protect her from - her family) had doubts about her religion at an early age and is now an atheist. This is a story about bravery and guts - and I recommend it. It's interesting to note that Christianity was guilty of similar crimes (burning people alive to "save" them) centuries ago. Indeed, I would have been killed for writing this blog.
