Muslims converting to Christianity is a thorny issue almost anywhere in the world, but recently U.K. media attention has focused in on the persecution of former Muslims not in foreign land but in its own backyard.

All those who wish to follow Jesus (peace be upon him) should revert to their birth-faith, the faith of the one, true and indivisble God, Islam.
Recite: There is only one God and Mohammed (peace be upon him) is the messenger of God.
And know this: the religion you follow is that of Mithras. Not Jesus Christ.
I read this and think of some "Christians" who can't even get out of bed on Sunday morning to go to church.
These people are giving up personal safety, family, friends, etc. to follow Christ. Yet, there are some of us "Christians" that can't even give up a few hours of sleep or a Sunday football game.
"Former Muslims who convert to Christianity are threatened with disownment and violence at the hands of their own family members – much like in parts of the Middle East. But the difference is these families don’t reside in a theocratic society, but in a western country that upholds religious freedom – including the right to convert to another faith."
If Islam is marketed as the "religion of peace," why is it known for violence? We have a verse from the Bible that says "you shall know a tree by its fruit..." Islam, come home to Jesus!
The death penalty mentioned by the Muslim families of the converts to Christianity is based on the Quran and mostly from Hadith, the sayings of Muhammad.
Anybody mentioning the removal of the death penalty for apostasy from Hadit is preamble to their rejection of Muhammad. Thus by motioning people to reject some of the violent content of Hadith also correlates with rejection of violent content of Quran (base of the Hadith) and is equal to denouncing Islam, which is GOOD.
For reference please read these verses
Quran Sura (4:89) They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they) But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them
Hadith Bukhari (52:260) The Prophet said, if somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him
Hadith Bukhari (83:37) Allah Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate.
Hadith Bukhari (84:57) [In the words of] Allah Apostle, Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him
Hadith Bukhari (84:64-65) Allah Apostle: During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection
British Muslim cannot apply sharia to these converts because they are British citizen and is living in England. If they still want to apply sharia, then let them return to Pakistan or other Islam nations which still use it.
Makes you wonder what will happen after Hussein Obama is elected!
Makes you wonder WHAT is in store for America [or what little is left of this ONCE GODLY country] after HUSSEIN OBAMA is elected?

If a person can't have the protection from the state like England to follow their own convictions
and religious faith, it is a sad predicament. Thousands of Muslims are coming to Christian
faith around the world, not by hearing the preaching from a preacher or Pastor, but they
see visions of Jesus and Jesus himself revealing to them that He only can give peace and
joy that the truth seekers are seeking for. Now the critical question, if these people who had
personal encouter with Jesus can't follow Him in peace!. If the government of Britain fail to
protect these believers in their newly found faith: that same country who sent missionaries to
foreign lands years back, will have to answer before God. God is a loving God, but He is also
a God of judgment.
Phileo said: Islam advances by fear and the sword.
More like terrorism:
Qur'an 8:60
YUSUFALI: Against them (unbelievers) make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to STRIKE TERROR INTO THE ENEMIES OF ALLAH and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. (In other words: Terrorize the unbelievers that you know, as well as those you don't know. Use whatever means you have at your disposal.) Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.
Qur'an 3:151
PICKTHAL: We (Muslims) shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (Christians) because they ascribe unto Allah partners (by teaching the Trinity), for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire (of Hell), and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.
Islam advances by fear and the sword. Christianity advances through the truth and love of Jesus Christ.
You tell me which religion you'd prefer to choose from?
