Christian Science Monitor Shills for Death Penalty for Apostates

Anyone who is against the Leaving Islam? bus ads supports the death penalty for apostates (converts out of Islam.) It's just that simple. The suggestion that I am urging Muslims to leave Islam is fallacious. The ads do not say "Leave Islam!" The ads read "Leaving Islam?," and are directed to Muslims in danger. Are…

“Tolerant” Daisy Khan on the Religious Freedom Bus Ads: “Ignorant”
