Daring Leaps of Faith

The article "Daring Leaps of Faith" by Julia Duin is very heartbreaking. If you are an ex-Muslim you are  shunned, disowned, denied your inheritance, kidnapped, put in prison, or worst of all killed in Muslim countries.  This hurt my heart to know that you could die for trying to change your religion or try to find happiness in something you believe is better. I was really surprised and not surprised because I know in countries their people have no freedom but that the consequences are so horrible. Also for murder to be apart of the religion is horrible as well. If they are here in the U.S. they are called, mailed, threats from their old government, friends, families, and believers who live here. Also they are killed and kidnapped here too. this was a huge surprise to me because I thought that when they came here they could be free and protected. It seems that's not always the case because they are scared of being registered and found. This entire article was saddening and heartbreaking to me. It also made me appreciate my freedom of religion and others who have changed theirs.
